Do you have the single speed fan or two speed? Are you measuring the engine compartment blower as well? Mine read 4.5 amps
The string activates a switch in the fan.
1100 watts or about ten amps then another 3 to 4 amps for turn table light and fan
Assuming a household voltage of 120 volts and a power factor of about .8 for the fan motor we have watts = volts x amps x PF. Amps = 90 / (.8 x 120) = 3 / 3.2 = .94 amps
Read the tag on the condenser, it will be noted as LRA. Be sure to check the LRA for the fan as well and add them together for the total. If it is not listed on the tag it will certainly be listed seperately on both the compressor and the fan motor. LRA = Locked Rotor Amps.

The equation you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.

This fan has three speed settings, low, medium and high.
There are three speed settings for this fan and it rotates 90 degress.

Fan regulators are similar to light dimmers. Their function is to control the speed of the fan. The regulator uses resistances for the speed of the fan. It acts as a divider and the speed changes based on the resistance.
The blower motor speed resistor is burned out. Keep in mind that in many cases the speed resistor burns out because the blower motor is failing and drawing to many amps. So if the new resistor burns out soon, next time replace the blower motor also.
There are 3 capacitors inside the fan, wired to the pull chain switch. one or all of these will be all melted and derformed. replace the damaged capacitors, the values are written right on them. these caps are what control the speed of the fan by limiting voltage to the motor.
