    Condenser fan won't start by itself
    Hi all, I replaced my condenser/heatpump unit about 6 years ago with a Ducane unit it worked fine until 2 summers ago. My friend replaced the Capacitor. Last summer the fan motor went bad. We replaced the motor and Capacitor. Now this year my fan won't come on unless I spin it to get it started. Then it will run until it cycles off . The new motor last year never did sound just right( growling) at times any ideas on this? Thanks!

    Sounds like you need a new capasitor now. What the motor your replace last you a exact match from the other?

    Yep, replace capacitor, make sure its wired correctly and is sized correctly for motor. Problem should be solved. Let us know how things work out.
