Sometimes fixing the outdoor unit shows the next weak spot inside. A Cedarville Comfort Club (our maintenance plan) member had recently had the capacitor (the part that gives the motor its starting kick) for the compressor (the pump in the outdoor unit) replaced. Soon after, the blower (the indoor fan) began making a loud noise, running for a short time, then stopping. Our technician came back to find the cause.
What Our Technician Found
The blower motor (the fan motor that moves air through your vents) was failing. That motor moves air across the indoor coil and through your ducts. When it cannot stay running, you get noise, short run times, and little or no airflow, even if the outdoor unit is fine.
What We Completed
- Checked the system after the indoor fan got noisy and kept shutting off.
- Replaced the blower motor, including the parts it needed.
The Result
With a new blower motor in place, the indoor unit can move air the way it was designed to. Learn more about our AC repair service.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Outdoor and indoor problems can show up weeks apart. A capacitor fix outside does not mean the indoor fan is healthy.
- Noise plus short run times points to the indoor fan. Do not keep restarting a motor that is shutting itself off to stay safe.
- We check the whole system. We look at both the indoor and outdoor units, not just the last part that failed.
