Outside/condensor unit fan wouldn't run right, so I changed the capacitor. That helped for about 10 minutes LOL. Had an issue with it last summer, and had to wash fins out good. Tried that after replacing the capacitor, and while washing fins I bumped the fan motor and it was HOT! Knew then motor was bad probably, once I got done washing I tried it again, no dice though. Got info off motor (could still barely read it thankfully!), onto Amazon and ordered a new one since there's no place to get one without taking off work close by. It came in today, got it swapped out and have AC again! If I haven't forgotten changing it along the way, the one I took out today was around 8-10 years old. Just hope this one works that long!</blockquote>
