We have an old Lennox on the roof, a huge unit, and it keeps going through condensor fans. Every thunderstorm season, every year, one goes tits up. Why? The system sat there through 20 years or so of working just fine, and now all of a sudden, it has been redesigned so that the condensor fan (yeah, and the capacitor) goes out once a year?
I went up there and put some oil around it, because I thought that some water might have gotten in, although it's a sealed motor that I just put in there a year or two ago, and it blew nice cold air...for a few seconds, then started blowing hot air again. I'm sure I can go up there and give it a flip and it will go again. Is there something else, besides the cap, that can make condensor fan motors go out? There isn't anything wrong with the case, cover or wiring.
Fortunately, I have a window box in my bedroom, but that means no home theatre during the day, which sucks my big black ass.
Well, thanks if you've got a suggestion.
