Possible Causes

Failed ECM module, Open blower winding, Faulty run capacitor (PSC motors), Loose blower harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before accessing blower. Capacitors can hold charge; discharge only if you are trained.

Steps to check:

  • Visual inspection: Check blower motor and capacitor for bulging, burnt smell, or leaking oil (capacitor).
  • Harness connections: Ensure all motor connectors are fully seated on the Luxaire control board and motor.
  • Spin test: Rotate the blower wheel by hand. If stiff or noisy, bearings may be failing.

When to call a pro: A technician should test motor amperage, capacitor value, and ECM module. Blower motor or module replacement should use Luxaire-approved parts.
