Scientific- 6205E GE - Genteq 1/2 HP 230 Volt Replacement X-13 Furnace Blower Motor

After reading all of the 5 star reviews I did not hesitate to purchase this X-13 ECM Replacement. In central Texas when AC goes out you have 3 problems, dealing with the lack of cooling, dealing with your unhappy wife because of the lack of cooling, and dealing with the blood-thirsty AC company. A week ago, my blower motor in HVAC started starting and stopping in quick cycles, then went to just not coming on at all. I called out a Local, Reputable AC company that has been serving Montgomery County for the last 50 years. They diagnosed that the heat control board needed replacing, I allowed them to replace that. After waiting 3 days for the part to arrive the technician spent a couple hours installing and the HVAC was back to coming on. Little problem though, although it was coming on it was not shutting off (by thermostat setting or manually turning off on thermostat). After another couple hours of time billed, another technician joined the party. He tested the low voltage and determined that the blower motor module (end-cap portion of motor) was bad. At that point I inquired how much they were into me for the time spent so far ($450) and control board part ($400). So, at $850 and still a HVAC system not functioning properly I settled up and parted ways with them. But, not before they quoted me another $500 dollars for only the module and what I would guess would have been another $400-500 dollars in time billed. Mind you, their part was the module alone not the entire motor! I googled the motor and all of it's specifications and came across this Evergreen ECM on Amazon. Close to $300 dollars cheaper than the modular alone they quoted me was a no brainer! (whole motor purchased from AC company was told the part would be over $1000). I ordered the Evergreen ECM on Friday with an estimated time of arrival the following Wednesday, to my pleasure it arrived Monday afternoon before I got home from work. I opened up the HVAC, took pictures of the wiring and removed the squirrel cage/ ECM assembly from my unit. Removing the old motor was not bad, with a little heat and penetrating oil applied to the set screw and shaft I was able to set squirrel cage on a 5 gallon bucket and tap the ECM shaft with a hammer and it dropped right out. After installing the mounting brackets to the new Evergreen ECM, I reinstalled it back to the squirrel cage. Reference photos attached as comparison of the old (original ECM installed in Carrier dated 2014) vs replacement Evergreen ECM. As you can see they are 95% identical with the only difference being the shaft is a little longer which in my case was not an issue as it still remained within the squirrel cage. The C L G N connections lined up with my existing plug connection and was a direct fit (look at your old plug and ensure C L G N connections all align, mine were labeled molded into the plastic of the old plug. The new Evergreen ECM comes with a plug assembly with pigtails for the 12345 speed control connections, I used that and connected the appropriate wires to existing speed control wires (in my case blue and white) my unit uses and capped the remaining 3. Zip tied wiring all up and flipped the breaker, the new Evergreen ECM when first powered will go through a start and stop cycling to calibrate it's proper direction and speeds, after 5 minutes my HVAC was back to working as designed and I saved myself another $1000 bucks. I cannot speak for longevity but I feel good that I will get 4-5 years out of this replacement ECM as the original lasted only 6, 4-5 years is A-OK with me for $230 bucks! As long as you have some mechanical ability, do your homework ensuring specs are the same, buy this Evergreen ECM replacement and you will not be unhappy.

Exact fit and function. Runs quiet and blows strong through the vents. Exceptional value for the price. Installation was a piece of cake. Electrical connectors are exactly the same as old motor. Just plug and play. It's getting the old motor shaft out that is hard when rusty. Perfect replacement fan blower motor for the Genteq HW19. AC unit is a Comfort Maker 1 ton.

Like another reviewer here I needed a replacement for an F19 blower motor that had the ECM go out - this one fit perfectly, shaft is an inch longer but did not make any difference. Same connections etc. happy! AC company wanted $1,600 to do this job that took me about 60 min total - 30 min disassembly, 30 min re-assembly. I think the AC repair business is as big a racket as healthcare and lawyers!

Two HVAC companies quoted me $1,250 and $2,000 respectively to replace my 9 year old blower motor in my Carrier air handler. Ordered this motor based on the exterior label of my unit and online research. Motor arrived in 2 days, was easy to install, looked nearly identical to the OEM, was a direct plug and play, worked exactly like the OEM, and was a huge value. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a “Fan blade/blower motor puller tool” when you order the motor. Mine was ceased on with rust and would not budge until I used the tool. Simple job and lots of great tutorials on YouTube! Saved around $850 based on the cheaper quote! Took me 1.5 hours. DO IT YOURSELF AND SAVE $$$$!

I replaced my FM-19 blower motor with this one. It was a great replacement and does not require programming or rewiring when replacing with FM-19.However, the manual was confusing and poorly prepared.Overall, very satisfied with the technology and performance.

I've had to swap motors in my Carrier AC 3 ton unit twice now each time after 5 years. This is the best price for a replacement you can find, but I can't give it 5 stars because of longevity. If your motor shaft is rusty, make sure you watch some videos on how to replace it or you will waste a lot of time getting the blower fan off of the old motor.

I am a fairly handy person, more over just a cheap person when it comes to paying somebody to do something because I am too lazy to do it. When my air conditioner went out I thought to myself "There is no way I am going to be able to fix it, I don't know anything about HVAC" but after the technician came out and told me it would be $2,000 to replace the blower motor, I decided to learn. I got lucky that this is plug and play and was able to install and get it working in a matter of a few hours.

Works great and Going strong after 18 mo.
