    Exterior fan stops
    I replaced the capacitor and fan motor and I still have a problem with the fan stopping after about ten minutes. All the wiring is correct and the fan spins in the correct direction. The start thermistor gets extremely hot. The compressor continues to run without a problem. The fan will run again after about 10 minutes of cooling. I'm baffled. Please help !

    Did this problem just start or was something done to this unit in the way of repairs? Is the wiring connected right? Are the wires loose or burnt?
    How is the fan motor wired , some times they wire a little differently.
