    Troubleshooting rheem blower motor
    I have a Rheem air handler. The blower motor won't turn on right away. Massive humming sound. Through the service panel I can reach in with a stick and push it then it spins up and then runs fine. I took the unit out and inspected and cleaned the motor which seems fine. I am thinking it may be a tramsformer?
