I have a Lennox G40UH 361-070-03 with a 10ACC-030-230-01 and the furnace is running however I'm not getting cold air. I went outside to the condenser to find that the fan was not running and the motor was hot to the touch. I found that I could start the fan by hand. I shut everything down for about 30 minutes and then turned it back on, started the fan by hand and let it run for about 10 minutes. I then did a temperature reading on the compressor and it was hotter then out door temperature. I'm wondering if I have a bad run capacitor, or is it worse than that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. cpd
