Last night, I noticed warm air blowing from our system.
I went outside, and the fan on the main unit was not on, and things were getting pretty hot to the touch.
I turned the system off, waited about 30 minutes, then powered it back on again.
The fan didn’t move, so I prodded it with a twig. I felt some resistance, but it quickly ramped up to speed and things seem to be working normally.
I’ve gone to check on it several times, and the fan is activating.
I figure the fan motor may be on its way out.
Google-fu suggests I should replace the motor and the starting capacitor, but before I start replacing parts, I was hoping y’all may have some insight?
