When the fan on top of the outdoor unit stops, the whole system suffers. In September, a Greenwood homeowner needed a new fan motor for the condenser (the outdoor unit) on a Lennox system. Our technician came back with the correct factory Lennox part to finish the repair.
What Our Technician Found
The outdoor fan motor had failed. That motor spins the fan blade on top of the outdoor unit so heat can leave your home. Without it, heat builds up inside the unit and the compressor (the pump inside the outdoor unit) is at risk. Because this was a Lennox system, we ordered the factory Lennox motor instead of a generic one.
What We Completed
- Removed the failed outdoor fan motor.
- Installed a new factory Lennox fan motor, including the wiring and connections.
- Started the system and checked that the fan was running the right way.
The Result
With the factory fan motor in place, the outdoor unit can move air the way Lennox designed it to. Learn more about our AC repair service.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- The right motor can matter on variable speed fans. Using the factory motor helps protect the controls and how the system runs.
- A failed fan motor is urgent in hot weather. Without airflow, heat builds up and the compressor has to work much harder.
- Watch the fan on top of your outdoor unit. If the unit is running but the fan is not spinning, turn the system off and call.
