Coleman Model 8335B8964. Fan will not come on when the compressor kicks on. it will hum and then after about 1-2 minutes, the fan will kick on but will squeek for a few seconds. then runs fine.. What would be wrong. the fan motor or something else?

tx valve problem blockage
have it properly diagnosed by an ac specialist
check consensor fan is running is separate fan to inside fan

Hi simpsonruth1..
In the back of the compressor motor you will see a fan, remove the plastic cover to get to it..
Once you have the plastic cover removed and the fan exposed, plug the compressor in and spin the fan with your fingers...be quick as the fan could cut your fingers if you do not get them out of the way..
If the compressor starts working, then the start capacitor is bad on the compressor...if it does not run then you have motor troubles, either replace the motor or get it rewound.
Please take time to rate me

your fan motor is either frozen ( no spinning ) or you have a bad capacitor.

Replace the start capacitor for the fan and compressor. Check all the wires to the capacitor.

How long has it been there, without experiencing any problems? This just start recently? Have you cleaned intake air filters at ceiling? Fan keeps running?

it may be the capacitor or needs oil or bad motor.

Take a look at your start capacitor. This the capacitor that kicks the compressor over when it tries to start. If the capacitor is bad, it cannot kick the compressor back over after the first cycle because the head pressure has not evened out yet. It is located in the upper unit on the side panel in a small box. Be careful, highly charged capacitors can zap you if you are not careful. Disconnect power and touch across the terminals with a meter or a screwdriver to discharge the capacitor.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

what is the make and model? how long has it been switched on? is the compressor top hot?

You hear the compressor kick in (Hum) but no fan comes on? Will the fan come on when just in fan mode, not cool, or do you have that set-up?

I would check the hig voltage power supply to the unit. Check the main breaker and make sure it is on. Check the disconnect and make sure there is power at that point to the condensing unit. The contactor will kick in from the low voltage in the control circuit.
