    RUUD Heat Pump Outside Unit Fan not coming on
    I just closed on my house - made one payment and the outside heat pump is not working!!
    About 3-4 weeks ago the fan on the outdside unit just sounded a little rough, almost a slight grind/knocking noise- although nothing major or too out of the ordinary for a fan motor ,just a little bit different from the way it sounded before.
    Just a few days later the outside unit fan motor was not kicking on the house was not cooling. Everything else appears to be working just fine. Of course I have the unit completely off until I can get it going properly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    It's a RUUD Heat Pump outdoor unit MODEL SERIES (-) PKA, PLA, PMB, PMC, PNJ PPA:) :eek: I like in South Carolina... AC is a MUST! THanks so much

    Probably the motor is shot. Have it checked and if defective replace.
