Why would the fan on an outside airconditioning unit not run when the thermostat is turned on? be serious plz
Question:I can hear the compressor come on but the fan does not work. Is there a reset button or something? Help!
Answers:
Depends where you live.
If you live in a part of the world where it is winter right now the A/C could be just in the start up phase where it builds up heat first before supplying the needed heat indoors...normal operation for reverse cycle (heat pump) units.
If you are in America right now you are in summer and this could indicate a problem.
If the latter, you will need specialist help. It's no good explaining what the problem could be, just call an A/C technician to fix your machine as soon as possible, not because of danger but because at this time of year you might be on a long waiting list.
could be that the fan has gone up,have a professional come and check it out
The fan motor may be burned out. I would suggest that you have an AC man come and take a look.
reset the breaker for the a/c
The other answers are good ones. I may add to check to see if there is a stick or something in the fan blades keeping it from turning.
sounds like the start cap has burned out or the fan motor has seen its best day if the comp is runing than its not the relay as it runs both the fan and comp sounds like its time to call the a/c man
