Have a two ton split air conditioner unit. Fan (not compressor) on outdoor unit kicks out after a period of time. Replace fan motor and it still kicks out. Its wired 230 v with a capacitor. Hot wires show 125 volts. Capacitor only 87 volts. Any help?

The motor probably needs changed out if the thermal overload is tripping out. Does the fan spin freely?

Comments

Fan turns freely .. But just went and checked. Restarted AC and the fan is running .. but in the opposite direction than it was last time without me switching the leads... twilight zone or whats happening.... Is that possible ???

As long as it is blowing upwards, you're ok.

The fan was blowing downward this afternoon but had up till now been upward... Is one phase not consistently pulled in... therefore a contactor problem ??

Is this a three phase setup?

no.. only two... thats what I don't understand .. the fan actually looked lost when first energised .. rocked back and forth lightly a couple times before deciding which way to turn.... but once started runs appearantly at full speed ... but noted mostly upward but sometime downward...

I have a fan on a split air conditioning system that is wired 230 volt (125v 2 phases.) I have noticed it sometimes runs in reverse. (downward) I repaced the motor once but it still happens. Is it the contactor not pulling in both phases causing this?
