Why am I not getting cold air

Fan quit spinning first then replaced bad capacitor and bad ground wire then worked fine for one day then capacitor went bad the next day. replaced it again and it worked for another day. Now capacitors seem to be fine, fan is spinning just not getting cold air. what do you think?

See if compressor is running. I would replace the contactor since it controls fan and compressor.

The fan relay that turns the thermostat on is probably burnt out as this probably controls the electric heat banks.

SOURCE: intertherm heatpump outside fan will

some times heat pumps have a fan cycling switch to keep the head pressure normal in cool weather or check the defrost relay for the fan when a heat pump condenser gets frosted it will stop the fan and reverse into cooling mode for a few min. to melt the ice and this function is done by a relay or a printed circuit board if it goes bad you wont have voltage to the fan

Window a/c thermistor or control/circuite board replacement?

Still could be the fan capacitor. You cannot visually inspect a capacitor. It needs to be tested with a dvm. Beware capacitors store quite a bit of juice and although they probably won't cause permanent damage....the do hurt like hell when the discharge into you. You could try with the unit running spinning the fan manually BE CAREFUL. If it starts then the cap is probably bad. If not motor could be bad even if it spins ok.

My condenser fan is running backward

An abrupt cycle of power can cause a motor to run backwards. If you turn the power off again and wait 10 seconds or so (enough for blade to stop spinning) it should run the right way. Put the capacitor back the other way and try again.

My LG LWHD1200FR air conditioner turns on, but the fan doesn't spin and no cold air comes out. What's the problem? How do I fix this?

Which fan doesnt spin the inside fan or outside fan? If its the outside fan try replacing the dual capacitor for the fan and the compressor. First take the fan blade and see if it spins freely if you spin it and it stops immedietly the fan bearings are bad. If it spins freely replace dual capacitor. If trhis helps please rate me and do a testimonial.

My GE Profile (PFS22SISBS) freezer not getting cold enough

Hi,
As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer

and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...

Duo Therm kicking on the compressor, getting cold, but no fan!

Shut the power off to the unit, spin the fan blade to see if it spins freely. If it doesn't spin freely, (there appears to be a little drag when you spin it),the bearings are bad, if it does spin freely, then try moving the motor shaft from side to side if there’s any play in the shaft side to side then the bearings are worn and motor needs replaced. Then, check the capacitor, if it’s bulging even slightly, the capacitor is bad and needs replaced. Most of the time people replace the capacitor if motor seems ok. If capacitor is ok, turn power on to see if the motor is getting the proper voltage, if it is and not trying to run, then the windings are probably open, the motor's bad and needs replaced.

Compressor Fan stop working

Do you have a meter? Either the fan is bad or the capacitor is bad. Ohm out the fan and then the capacitor. Be sure you take the disconnect out of the electrical box on the side of the house and or trip the breaker off. The capacitor is a dual run one side operates the compressor and one side operates the fan. I would really bet on the capacitor being bad. Have seen that a lot in my experience. Be sure to make note of the wiring of the capacitor before you take it out to check and if you are not sure how to check it take it to the parts house and they can check it.

Compressor fan motor runs backwards

Most likely a bad motor or bad capacitor. I would check the capacitor first as this is probably a $20 fix. The fact that it runs in the correct direction but at a reduced speed really leans hard to the capacitor.

Good Luck and hope this resolves things for you. Let me know.

Fan motor in window ac/heat unit turns slow or not at all

Did you change the capacitor when you changed the fan? If you didn't you need to. And that capacitor is a dual one running the compressor and fan. So make a diagram of it what wires go where the area is real tight and some wires are the same color. You might make labels to be a little easier. Also get the same size capacitor when you change it.

Weather king central air conditioner

You have done a good job under the circumstances. It could be a bad start/run capacitor as well. It carries a lot of amperage so I suggest hiring a technician to check the capacitor and the motor.

Fan does not work

Check resistance through the fuse and the actual control switch and see if it's registering anything. Usually wiring doesn't go bad unless it gets a nick in it or is overloaded and burns out. If it all looks good then check to see if you're getting voltage to the fan motor when turned on. Be sure not to let leads or live wires go to ground or touch you, it can hurt you or your wallet worse. That should be a good start, tell me if it works out.
