Further Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted June 30, 2020 And I must have poked the wrong button on the computer too. Any way, I noticed the condenser fan sounded a little loud when I was out water plants, and now it just hums. And I really don't feel like working on it right now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted July 1, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 1, 2020 My Trane AC (old home) was 4 years old and it quit. Called the tech, and it was still under warranty. A mouse chewed some low voltage wires in the condenser unit. That wasn't covered by the warranty. But the repair was splicing 2 wires back together. I sealed the compartment so the wires were safe from critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean them up and good as new. I had to clean all the exhaust fans in the restrooms at the motel I worked at. Half of them had stopped working entirely, the rest were noisy. They all came back to life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just a capacitor, maybe... Well it needs fixed Guy is coming tomorrow, has a good reputation, let him handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted July 1, 2020 New capacitor on the compressor motor, clean the coils, check the pressures, general tune up / check up stuff. 160.00 dollars, I'm happy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember when you changed the points, plugs, and capacitor on all the cars every year? The capacitor would actually last many years but common practice was to change them when you changed the points. If you work with a bunch of yeahoos like I did you learn to never pick up an old capacitor someone left lying around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
