Check capacitor if its good then Ohm the wires to motor if common to start winding or common to run winding is open then motor is out on internal overload ( overheated) cool with water until windings are closed check voltage to motor. If capacitor good windings closed and correct voltage to motor then motor is bad. Also if windind from start to run is open motor is bad. But be sure wires going to motor havent been damaged or cut into. Also if there is any circuit board with fan relay be sure relay is closed and voltage going in and back out to motor.

SOURCE: my York Diamond 80 Compressor

Hello, try to use a thin object to spin the fan blade, if it starts up with help pushing it the capacitor is bad and must be replaced. If the fan does not start up by pushimg it then the motor must be replaced.

I have a york diamond 80 heater. The part that blows the heat out won't come on.. igniter lites and flames come on but blower doesn't..help we are freezing

Sounds like your fan switch is defectiveor posibble installed in the wrong place. This switch is heat controlled and delays the fan coming on until there is warm air to blow.

Hello, if the compressor is running on the outside unit and the fan is not either you have a bad capacitor or a bad fan motor, if the fan starts with a push then your capacitor is bad, if it does not the motor is shot.

York Diamond 80 furnace (propane conversion), about 1998 model. Solid Ignitor comes on, but no flame. Main fan works for about 90 seconds then cuts off. Fan only switch on thermostat does the same, fan...

Check for 24 volts across the two terminals on the gas valve when the ignitor glows. If yes, bad gas valve or blockage in the gas train. If no, bad ignitor or circuit board. Even if the ignitor glows, it still may be bad and not sending the proper signal to the board. If you jump the R and G terminals on the circuit board, does the fan still only run for 90 seconds? If so I would say replace the board.

York diamond 80 heater does not fire up

Mostly likely the problem is in the pressure switch that tells the board that the blower started and it is okay to fire the burner. The pressure switch is usually a 2" or so round thing about 1" thick, it will have one or two tubes coming out of it that go to the blower or heat exchanger. Make sure that the tube is not cracked or that it has not come off at either end.
The pressure switch can be jumped out to check out if that is the problem, but you need to jump it out after the cycle has started and the switch needs to open after a cycle for the heater to refire again, so that fix would be very temporary. But it may tell you for sure what the problem is.
