    Condenser fan stopped running
    I have a miller condenser unit, and it stopped running. I hear everything else trying to run, the coils are getting super hot after 2-3 minutes, and the fan will not start running. What could be wrong?

    You may have a bad fan motor, open up the control panel and look at the capacitor, is it blugeing at the top, are there any burnt wires, does the motor spin free. Turn power back on and try to spin fan with a stick while it is calling for cool, if it takes off running then the capacitor is bad, if not then the motor is most likely bad.

    You've either (1) lost power to your fan (2) the fan motor is bad (3) or the capicator is bad.
