[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1272939, member: 18945"] Any HVAC people out there? Nothing runs like a Trane--till it don't. Just before dark, I noticed the condenser unit of my 6 yr old Trane central air conditioning unit sounded a little odd when it kicked on and noticed it didn't stay on very long, which isn't unusual--it's a good unit. I was busy and didn't go look at it, but after I did come in and eat, noticed it was warm in the house. Thermostat was set for 75 and it said temp in the house was 82 so I knew something was wrong. Didn't take but a minute to find out the fan on the condensor wasn't running, but the compressor was. Tomorrow is Saturday, it's been dang hot for 2 months now so I know it's going to be a crapshoot finding someone that can come out tomorrow.I stuck a rod down thru the vent and rotated the fan easily, so I know the bearings aren't froze up. An electrical malfunction of some kind...thermostat and wiring seem to be ok since it turns the compressor on. (not a heat pump) What am I looking for? bad fan relay? Open windings in the fan motor? Ants in a relay? [/QUOTE]
