I have a rheem self contained gas pack LP heat & AC, I had a tech come look at it this past fall due to heat stop working, well he didn't help much to say the least but I finally figured out it was the gas valve stuck (I live at beach things rust fast) but the ac workied fine before the tech came out, I just turned it back on for the first time and everything cuts on and runs just fine for 2 or 3 minutes and then the blower stops blowing air through the air ducts/vents but everything else still runs fine the compressor outside fan just the blower stops, and it will only cut on after it has been switched off for 30 minutes or so and it will work again for a couple of minutes on initial start up what could it be, someone please help.
Thank You,
Vance

To me it sounds like you have a bad run capacitor(cheap part) or a motor over heating and shuting down(not so cheap).

Is that capacitor the one that the low voltage fan wire connects to, square has about 6 male contacts on it that the wires plug on to? Also ,where is the actual squirrel cage blower fan located at?

Thanks so much fr your help.

Thank you,where is the squirrel cage fan blower located at? And is the capacitor the small square that has the low voltage wire connected to it, it has about 5 or 6 male wire connectors on it for the female wire clasp to connect to. Thanks so much Vance
