These damn Freidrick units suck, this one was in a special room built like a walk in cooler. Inside was a electrostatic plotter and it some how coated everything with calcium carbinate. I had to put all new pulleys and barings and such on it, I do a lot of them...
Notice, http://breezeaire.com/public/100-0076_IMG.JPG inside the wheel is the hub for the motor shaft that sits out side the air handler. The hub is attached to a rubber flexplate that is pop riveted to the wheel. The set scew has to be loosened to ajust the wheel for pulley alignment to the right side of air handler. http://breezeaire.com/public/100-0079_IMG.JPG If you dont align the pulleys the damn thing will make noise in a week. http://breezeaire.com/public/100-0077_IMG.JPG Getting the wheel to slide back and forth on the motor shaft after a few years in condensate is the trick. Otherwise you must try to cut the rubber flex hub off while still attached to the motor so it can be pulled out the other side and the rivets drilled out and a new flex hub riveted on. http://breezeaire.com/public/100-0078_IMG.JPG There is a trick, a few select screws must be removed and motor disconected and the whole air handler and motor detaches from the unit and can be worked on. Air handler must work or the compresser get killed. :eek:
