There is NO START capacitor on your unit. There is a RUN capacitor and one place said it is a 30 mfd / 5 mfd at 440 volt. These are an oil filled capacitor with both a 5 mfd section for the fan and a 30 mfd forthe compressor. Find a part number on it and search Ebay... that is where I got mine..

SOURCE: the fan is not movien on my trane high efficienct

If you are sure that the unit has power, look for the capacitor. A run capacitor will be oval shaped with a rupture disc on top. If it is ruptured then the capacitor needs replaced. If it is a round one, the top will be bulged and it will need replace with an exact match. There is a combination type that says fan and herm on it and it can be either of the first two mentioned. If this is not the problem then replace the fan with and exact match

SOURCE: where is the capacitor located in a trane central

the cap and all other electrical components are safely placed inside the unit's box. You have to take the side off of the unit and the metal box is on top please throw the disconnect of and remember there is still 24 volt live inside. The 24 volts is coming from the furnance.

SOURCE: Why is my fan motor on my trane air conditioner

Check the capacitor for the fan. Has the fan been replaced recently? If so make sure the start lead is connected to the capacitor.

SOURCE: Air Conditioner comes on but

First mark the wires and make a diagram so you can reconnect it. Next remove the capacitor. You can take it to a heating and air supply and they will test it for you. They will also sell you a new one. Use your wiring diagram to reinstall the capacitor wires. It sounds like your problem is the capacitor.

How do I fix my Trane air handler to keep it from turning off about 20 seconds after being commanded to turn on?

Some units require both a start and a run capacitor. It's possible the wrong capacitor was replaced. It's also possible to add a run capacitor to a system to keep the fan running. There is an outside chance the bearings in the fan motor are worn to the point it's time to replace the motor.

Trane xe 1000 - 1/4 fan motor went bad - I replaced it with a used 1/3 from another trane unit - it had same wiring harness etc everything starts, runs, cools -cold air - but only for about 5...

Did the 2 fans have the same rpm. If there is not enough airflow through the outside unit the compressor will shutdown on high discharge pressure. Also make sure the fan blades are positioned right if there is a shroud for them. Did the other motor have a capacitor with it or did you use the 1 from the smaller motor. Sometimes the motor data plate will tell you what size capacitor you need. Let me know what you find.

Trane XE1200 Fan Motor

Most likely problem with a not-so-old motor is the run capacitor for the fan.

Some units have fan & compressor capacitor combined into one -- others are separate.

The capacitor can be tested with a multi-meter with an MFD setting -- it should read reasonably close to the specs marked on the capacitor.

CAN'T GET COMPRESSOR TO COME ON ON MY XE 1000 TRANE

Often when I work on something and it quits after a short while it is the result of something I disturbed in making the repair. I would check the connections to the compressor, the start/run capacitor, and the low pressure switch if there is one. Sometimes the slip-on terminals used on capacitors and the like are easily yielded in removal/reconnection and when that happens they can be resistive, causing them to fail from overheating. Also check the low pressure switch for continuity (again if there is one).
