Test for proper voltage to the motor.
You did replace the new capacitor with another replacement to match the new motors requirements, right?

Condenser fan not working
Replaced the old capacitor, which tested well below spec. Fan started up and ran for a few days before again failing to start spinning. (compressor working properly this entire time). Replaced fan motor. New fan started up and ran for a few days before again failing to start. I've ordered a new contactor.
Questions:
1) Can the contactor prevent the fan from starting while allowing the compressor to start?
2) Any ideas on next steps? I assume that I have power reaching the unit as it starts up, albeit intermittently. Also assuming low voltage is ok as well since it's activating compressor.
thanks for any suggestions.
