Blower motor overheating
I have a Trane XE 70 split unit. 19 years old, current motor and cap are 10 years old. The blower motor stopped working on AC. My AC outdoors runs fine.
Motor issue persists regardless of Tstat settings - I tried heat & cool, auto and on. (left in the on position).
Opening up the ahu, the motor smells warm, and the back is warm to the touch.
If I cool the motor down with a box fan for a few minutes, the motor will restart and sound labored running 2-2.5 minutes then shuts off.
Any ideas? TIA
