At this Fort Smith home, air was blowing through the vents upstairs and downstairs, but the fan on the outdoor unit was not spinning and was making a humming noise.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician checked the outdoor unit’s electrical parts. The capacitor (a part that gives the fan motor and compressor a boost to start) needed to be replaced. The outdoor coil also had a layer of dirt built up on it.
What We Completed
- Checked why the outdoor fan was not spinning.
- Tested the electrical parts in the outdoor unit.
- Replaced the capacitor.
- Checked the system after the repair.
The Result
The outdoor unit has a new capacitor. Learn more about our AC repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Humming with no spinning is a classic sign. A weak capacitor is a common cause.
- Turn the system off. Running it this way can overheat the motor.
- Keep the outdoor coil clean. Dirt makes the whole system work harder.
