First, I checked the circuit breakers, but they were not the problem. Fan was off on outside unit.
Today the Capacitor was replaced on my unit and now everything is fine. Fan is running outside on the unit and the house is cooling down. A fairly inexpensive fix and easy one too by the repair man. Don't get a new unit until the simple things are checked and or replaced. I thought my unit was dead because it is 13 years old, but I was wrong. Happy, happy, happy!

I have an Amana heater/airconditioner (Prestige I think) that is not cooling. The outside compressor fan was not spinning, so i I changed the capacitor on the unit. It now spins, yet vent air not cold

If that fan stopped your compressor overheated, shut off on thermal overload. Carefully cool compressor with water hose and restart. If the big copper is cold ,small copper warm, compressor is running. Check capacitor on compressor

Amana Prestige II air conditioner. The fan unit on the top of the ouside unit stopped spinning. I gave the fan a good push and it started spinning (and continues to spin) however the air now blowing into...

You need to replace the fan capacitor. Your compressor is probably in thermal overload you can cure this by turning off the disconnect your ac voltage and taking a cool water hose and running over the top of the compressor for a while. Then turn your disconnect back on and listen and feel of the big copper line to see if it gets cold and also listen to see if the compressor kicks on.

Could be a couple of reasons for this:
1. Condensor fan motor bad.

Hope this helps. wally

Good noon! I have an Amana prestige II, but the fan for working compressor keeps running out of door when fan stop in the attic.

This sounds like your contactor is fused shut. Normally the contactor disengages when your unit turns off, but if the unit is getting older and runs for long lengths of time the metal will actually meld together. I would have someone replace the contact switch. Good luck
