A/C Fan Emiting Loud "Whrrrr" Sound and spins slowly

Asked May 19, 2007, 02:07 PM — 15 Answers
Hello,

My A/C Fan was emitting a loud "Whrrrr".
Which gets loud, then soft, the loud again.
Almost like the sound is oscillating. And
Once in a while it starts "coughing", then
It's back to the "Whrrr"s again.

Well, today the blades stopped spinning
(actually it is spinning, so slow that it has
Yet to complete one complete turn) and
The sound is still there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John Christos

Could it be clogged by any chance? Maybe I should open the motor
Housing up.

Will it start if you let it sit and cool down?

I'd say the motor is bad. Thease things aren't really made to be repaired.

Thanks. Well, I guess my next stop would be the
Local store for a new fan then.

Be sure in the future to help get the most life out of your fan, take it apart and clean any dust and or dirt and oil the motor if possible. Good luck with your purchase and if you need help in the future we are here!
