Condenser Fan inop
Posted: Tue May 04, 2010 6:18 pm
So my MIL calls says its hot in her mobile home-- I discover condenser fan not working- go ahead and kick start it-- it works for about a week--she calls again- I then pull out motor- inject oil into the oil holes- it works for about a 1/2 day-- she calls again.
Fan motor is an Emerson model 1468-211 1/3 hp 208-230V 1100 rpm
what is most likey wrong-- fan motor worn out, or capacitor shot? How should I test? Unit is pushing twenty years old. Thanks for your input
