How can I test an outside fan motor with this DMM? Where do the red/black cables go and what dial setting should I use?

Nhaps this device is only for test Capacitance from a Capacitor, is not for test motors, please sorry my english..

You press the low speed button to start fan, then, press the bottom button which is 2 arrows. Give it time to stop for it to change the direction. Takes a few seconds.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

Mary you can contact the company directly. But it gets wired into the Hot Lead (black Wire) just like most switches. Make sure if there are multiple wire that there is the wiring for the motor and a ground (note Sometimes the switch can be bad) KB Electronics, Inc.A Complete Line of AC & DC Drives, Automation Controls & Fan Speed Controls12095 NW 39th Street Coral Springs, FL USA 33065 Tel: (+1) 954.346.4900 Fax: (+1) 954.346.3377Outside Florida Call Toll Free 800.221.6570 This should be an easy installation Good Luck Ed

Sorry to say, but I think you have a bad motor. I would return it if possible or call Proform to replace it especially if you recently purchased it.

Check the manual here for the troubleshooting section: http://www.soleusair.com/Manuals/2011%20Manual/SG-DEH-30M%2045%2070-1A%20Soleus%20Manual%203-31-2011.pdfSometimes I think it's just the fan kicking up a speed every once in a while.

Try to find the exact model number for the motor printed or stamped on the motor itself, or look up your model on the web or in the manual to see if there is an "illustrated parts breakdown" which will list each part of the fan and its associated part number. Then, you should hopefully be able to cross reference the correct replacement.

Needs a new control modual. Just pull the fuse for the fan to keep it from running until you get your new modual.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

There are two dials (knobs) : the top dial has a series of Black dots that get larger around the dial and should be turned all the way to the plus (+) sign. The second is a power saving dial; it has a a 2, 1, a fan symbol, and a 0 . Turn this one to the 2 setting. If it still isn't working, Try another outlet for a different power source. Thats all i can recommend

Henry, The fan motor capacitors are for the 3 speeds of the motor. One gray wire will go into positon L of the 3 way pull switch. Usually you can use a very small flat blade screwdriver to push the spring clip back thru a slot to release the old wire and should be able to push in the new wire. The other color wires will go in order into the 1,2,3 slots in the order they are are the capacitor body, usually red, brown, purple. The other gray wire will go into the plug connector in the gray slot. center opposite white slot. Generally easier to clip existing gray wire from slot, leave some length, strip and twist connect with a wire nut. Biggest problem is the plastic body 3 way switches break easy so be careful. They are common stock at big box hardware stores though. The capacitors, which fail often, are not though, strange. Fortunately the price on them has dropped dramatically online. 6-7 years ago I was paying $25-35 for them and now can find for $10 or less.Probably find wiring diagrams online for Hunter, Harbor Breeze, AllenRoth fans. Good Luck.

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

I have exactly the same issue. Turning the temp dial, or turning the fan speed dial does nothing at all. Also, the leds in the A/C controls only light up when I switch the ignition on, but go off when I start the engine. Initially, I could adjust the fan speed and the LEDs worked correctly, but could only adjust the temp by spinning the temp dial around about 4 times for 1 degree. A week later it changed to working only in Auto.

I cannot be certain, but the general rule is black to black, however if you look at your old motor you should be able to see which wire goes to the cage or shell of the unit. That is your ground to complete the circuit. Your new fan should not be too hard to tell either. It has been a while since I installed mine so I this may not be much help, sorry.

The three pins are COMM (Ground) +12V and the 3rd one is a tachometer signal which can be used to determine the current fan speed ! In short, just don't connect the 3rd pin and you're good to go ! PS. on the 4 PIN Molex connectors the 4th pin is a PWM input to control the fan speed.

You should only install fans outside that are specifically rated for outdoor use. Try searching for "outdoor fans" or "light kits outdoor fans" to find appropriate models. Moisture can cause expensive circuit damage.

The way I got this to work was to plug everything first including the receiver link, the power red wire is positive and black wire negative (I use 19.2V Craftsman battery), the motor (the two reds are positive for the two motors and two blacks are negatives) and then turn on the switch on the ESC. After that the ESC responds to remote commands via the receiver.
