the fan should be blowing air out of the unit,as far as the direction different brands use differentdirecton fans to accomplish this
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
fan cycling.3 way modulating valve
The relay actuated by the thermostat which starts and stops the compressor and condenser fan in the outdoor unit.
Dirty condenser coil, high ambient temperature, problem with condenser fan, overcharge, non condensibles, high indoor load are the first places I would look. In that order.
water as a coolant
it should blow directly to the condenser
For most models your ceiling fan blades should be turning counter clockwise in the summer. As a general rule, the blades need to spin in the direction of the slope on the blades to create a downward draft which makes the air feel cooler. You should feel a draft or breeze when you are standing underneath the fan if it is turning in the right direction. If you do not feel that then you need to switch it to the other direction.
may only come on when a/c is on to pull more air through condenser
In the winter time your ceiling fan should push the room air in an upwards motion and in the summer time the ceiling fan should push the room air in a downwards motion.
I have to assume that you are referring to the fan on the outside Condenser Unit? The most likely causes are either a burned out fan motor, or a blown Capacitor on the motor startup circuit.
No. The condenser fan is for the A/C(right side). The radiator fan is on the left.
yes
number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.
There should be a small slide switch on the fan. Turn it off and let it stop then move the slide switch then restart it and it should go in the other direction. If you are smart enough to ask a question on answers.com you should be smart enough to change the direction of a ceiling fan!
to splite the phase
== == Most likely, the condenser fan motor is going bad. Most motors of this type have a thermal protection relay that will cut the power if the motor gets too hot.
Each of the fan blades in the squirrel cage will have a scoop like shape to them. This scoop is what collects the air and throws it out of the blower housing. So this scoop should be the leading edge if the fan is turning in the proper direction.
