Last summer AC worked fine. No issues. Winter, Heater worked fine. No issues
Go to turn on AC. Nothing. No compressor, nothing. Reset breaker wait a few minutes, try again.. Compressor turns on for a few minutes ( a little louder and more ticking and vibrating then usual i think) but no condenser fan.
Go up, looks like the old condenser fan burned up, chard on the inside, rain slinger(cap) all melted. DONE.
So sense then i have replaced the Fan motor
The run capacitor and the Dual run capacitor just to be on the safe.
My problem is, my condenser fan is still not turning on. I wired it back exactly the way it was in regards to connections to the capacitors.
the new Fan Motor one came with a Black, Purple, Brown and Brown/white
The original motor came with Black, Yellow, Brown and Red. (the red was just hanging in there with a wire nut on the end)
I connected motor:
Black to Black
Purple to Yellow
Brown to Run Cap
Brown/White to Run Cap
See Below
The Black does not go to the contractor (see start in bottom right end in top left)
Yellow goes to C on Dual Run CAP
This is how the previous motor was wired. so i just did the same
My issue is that the Condenser fan is still not starting. If i turn on the thermostat or push down the contractor, the compressor turns on, (seems to be inconsistent in its vibrating and volume though) but still turns on and runs for a few minutes before shutting off.
Any ideas?
I have been told that i can just connect the Black and purple form the motor directly to the Contactor, but im not sure which terminals to connect too.
I also have heard that the Contactor might be bad. but if it was, wouldn't the compressor not turn on?
Any ideas. I have tried to test Voltage on contactor but im doing something wrong im pretty sure. Could i get a walk through on that based on the picture below?
