    Central AC blowing hot air
    Hi,

    I'm now stumped :(...

    About 9 months ago my Central AC Condenser unit's fan stopped spinning, I took the fan apart, lubricated all the bearings and axles and it worked beautifully for 9 months. Yesterday I noticed that it was getting pretty warm, I went to check on the Condenser unit outside and realized that the FAN had stopped working again. I re-lubricated as I did the last time, put it back together and the fan started working again, only this time there was no cold air coming out of the vent and the air blowing out of the compressor was cold (should be warm).

    I did some research online and realized that it is very likely the capacitor, I replaced the capacitor today and unfortunately it still blowing hot air out of the vents and cold air out of the compressor (refrigerant line is no cold or wet).

    I'm about to call an HVAC expert at this point, but just trying any last efforts before having to shell out $100+.

    Any suggestions or advice is much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Did the Capacitor get the outside motor working, and blowing air out the top. Direction is Important to remove the heat.

    Yes, outside motor/fan was always working once cleaned and oiled before replacing the capacitor.

    Fan direction is good (blowing up/out of the Compressor).
