compressors dont go weak either valves are failing -or unit motor failing --and if have leak will need fixing and depending on where and why leaking not cheap --get 2nd opinion
The bearings are bad in the motor and after the fan runs enough it eventually gets hot, making the bearing screech and the fan locks up. Need to replace motor again. See if it has a warranty. The reason it gets hot is because the fan is what removes the heat from the coil and if the fan isn't running there is nothing to cool it off so to speak.
Hello There are a few things here that could be wrong. 1 Fan motor start capacitor is bad.Silver battery looking device on side of fan.Remove and replace with a new one.
2 Contactor for fan motor is pitted or burnt .If this is the case you will need a new contactor.
3 Fan motor is bad.Check top two before assuming this. Check all fuses and circut breakers also.
If you can get your hands on a mulit-tester with a voltmeter, test the wires to the fan. If there is power to the fan, and fan is not, on, it is faulty. If no power to the fan, then control board or a possible relay could be faulty.
This means that the condenser fan motor (outside unit) failed, this caused to build hi pressure and either activated a safety valve to release the extra pressure or blew a line and R22 Refrigerant escaped from system.
The fix is to replace motor fan and capacitor find the leak and refill system with R22 Refrigerant Gas. It is safe to turn on the Fan Only mode on the Thermostat until a HVAC Tech arrives. To perform this job parts and labor included will cost: about $300 -.$400. Look on the Yellow Pages for a Tech in your neighborhood.
Hello Tim First Turn the power off! Try to turn the fan blade with a twig or something.Is it tight ? It should turn freely.If yes open the cover where the wires connect & check if the capisitor is expanded or leaking if so replace that with the SAME one (uf value&volts).Check for burnt wires also.The capicitor is a round or oval shaped can (looks like a large battery) with wires cliped/pluged in on top.Next let the motor cool off 1 hour and restore power.Does it BUZZ for a short time then stop?If yes its new motor time.Good luck
Check for burned wires at the outside unit and if the fan doesn't work could be the capacitor or the fan motor itself , i would try replacing the capacitor first is no more than $25.
Two things; outside does the compressor try to come on? If not you may have a switch\Thermotat problem. Also make sure the breaker to the outside unit hasn't tripped. If it has tripped there may still be a problem after you turn the breaker back on. If it's only the fan that's not coming on outside you will need a new capacitor or fan motor and compressor(if the fan motor is replaced you should have a new capacitor also. If it has been intensely hot your unit might have just gotten overworked. Then resetting the breaker is all that is needed. If you have continuos resettings you MUST call a qualified HVAC Tech.
