A daughter has a mobile home with a Coleman Evcon central heat and air system and the outside condenser unit's fan is blowing downward into the unit rather than blowing upward as most other condensors do. I am wondering if someone replaced the blower motor with one that rotates in the wrong direction?

Probably possible,has someone worked on it lately?
Have heard of a weak capicitor doing this but doesn`t do it all the time,try pulling the disconnect,spin the blade in right direction,plug in or turn on disconnet very fast, see if it starts up in the right direction,or does it start back in the wrong direction

Not sure on any prior work prior to her moving there.Fan was inoperative until I replaced capicitor. When it started, it seemed to be running in the wrong direction.
