Hoss50 Report post Posted September 17, 2020 602-326-8936 Grand Canyon Refrigeration The owner is Martin and is a trustworthy person. Tell him Harley with Sigler referred you. If he is busy then Mast Air. Talk to Chris or Jim and tell him I sent you. Or Diamond mechanical. Talk to Derek. I am an AC wholesaler so I deal with these guys daily. The 2 above can be trusted.

HuntHarder Report post Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks Harley, I may tackle it myself as I am pretty confident it is just a condenser fan motor. Cap tests good and the fan motor has more resistance to spinning than it should. Where is a good place to buy a 1/4hp fan motor here local? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted September 18, 2020 Try an appliance store or grainge. Azpartsmaster maybe. Most ac vendors like myself only sell wholesale and wont see to normal people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Down here in Tucson they are available at Naughton's. Cost me less than $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably should still have an AC guy check your pressures. Check your split (temperature of air at the return compared to temperature of the air at the nearest distribution vent). Approximately 20 degrees difference is good. Every couple of years replace your contactor. Watch wiring and have fuses pulled anytime you work on the electrical system. Replace capacitors and fuses every few years as well. Machine should last longer. And keep filters clean and replaced, possibly twice monthly during the summer if needed. It's amazing how much abuse AC units take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
