Outside fan not turning

Jul 02, 2009

- If you have average mechanical skills you can do it. Make sure you get an exact replacement motor and mark your wires so they go back in the same place. A motor probably around $75-$100. I would try a capacitor first though for $10 or so. If it doesn't fix it, you'll still have it for the new motor which a capacitor should be installed with the new motor anyway. Make sure power is off before starting. *Note the capacitor looks like a little tin can and should be mounted in the outside unit control panel. If it is swollen or oily you probably have found your problem. They can be bad though without these tell tale signs.
