Condenser fans are usually not very expensive, so I suggest you go to a carrier dealer and buy one as a spare part. Have you check that the fan is clean and none of the blades are damaged.
I don't know what part of the country you are in, but here in Okla. a condenser motor can be bought by the home owner for around $100. You should be able to go to any appliance supply house and purchase your own motor. Take the model and serial number with you, it may help. If you have a local carrier distributor, they should give you a users manual. Try your best to get a motor close the the same as what you have. Note the horsepower, rpm, voltage and take the fan blade with you in case you need a new one. Hope this helps. Mark
T the upstairs is a 3 1/2 ton 10.0 SEER condenser, and the downstairs is a 2 1/2 ton 10.0 SEER condenser. You can use any 10 SEER Unit on replacement, but if you go any higher in SEER (efficiency), there is a possibility the unit will freeze up. The reason is because the indoor coil also has an efficiency rating (10.0 SEER). It is not a good idea to mismatch units when it comes to SEER. Otherwise, you can use any brand of unit, if you want to go higher in efficiency, you need to change the indoor coil as well. Hope this helps. Mark
there is a run capacitor is probably bad. you can purchase a replacement one from slakey brothers. However the capacitor will still have a charge after the power and wires are removed. after turning off the breaker use a long bladed screw driver and ground the electrical leads to discharge the capacitor before removing. take it with you to the supply house along with the model and serial number of the condensing unit.
Carrier puts this info or their data plates and have for a few years now. If it's not on this one, it's pretty old. If over 12 years, it will be around an 8 SEER or less. I you can supply a model number of the condenser I will be glad to look it up in my data base.
Need the model no. It will be on the unit somewhere, on a plate on the back area, or if it's a unit with seperate condenser, the no will be on the condenser outside, or wherever it is.
