The compressor runs but the fan does not

by James

Descripton - 5 ton 12 seer d.p.p. g/e
Model number DAYH-F060N110
Serial Number NALM010365

Problem: When the unit is turned on, it works fine for

approximately 10 minutes,at which time the fan stops, yet the compressor continues to run. I employed the services of a local ac/heating entity who informed me that my problem would be solved with the installation of a new variable speed motor.

Cost for motor $750.00 labor not included. The new motor was installed and it performed in the same matter as the old one.
When the unit is turned on, it runs for about 10 minutes then the fan shuts off, the compressor continues to run.

I had the variable speed motor replaced and it still does the same thing. The techs don't seem to have a clue.

Any suggestion to help solve this problem?

fan motor not running
by: Anonymous

to daden
It was a defective motor. I bought a new one, installed it and it is working OK now. The motor was about $90 but that was a lot better than what the AC company wanted to charge for installing it.

Thank you for the comments.

Condenser motor
by: Dadan

To Ed

If it is not the run capacitor, it could be your outdoor motor is malfunction.

If you?re familiar with electricity, you need to find a way to troubleshooting the condenser motor.

I would suggest you get a local tech to look at it if you're not familiar with electricity. I do hope your compressor run.

outside fan turns off
by: edmat

When I turn on the AC, it runs for 3 minutes then the outside fan stops. After shutting it off and trying again later, the same cycle occurs. I have replace both the run capacitor and the fan capacitor. (It's an old Lennox.) Any suggestions? I mean besides buying a new unit. Thank you.

Check G to C wires on the T/stat.
by: Anonymous

These two wires control the OD fan. They my be shorting out. This will cause the OD fan to kick on and off. To check these wires you need to check for volts should be 24v.
