When i replaced condenser fan on my lennox air conditioner its running backwards why would this be?
The fan will have a pair of short wires that come out of the fan motor connected to another short pair of wires going back to the fan's motor. The 2 pairs will be connected to each other with either a single 2-prong connector or two single-prong connectors. Reverse the connection pairings and the fan will spin the opposite direction. (If you have a 2-prong connector, just unplug the connector; twist one end of the connector 180-degrees; then reconnect.)
What else can I help you with?
What would cause an electric motor to run backwards?
Motors running backwards: A DC motor wired backwards or magnetic field reversed. A 3 phase AC motor with 2 phases reversed A single phase motor will run either way unless it is 'persuaded' by means of a shaded pole or other method to rotate in a particular direction.
What is the line side on central air unit?
Do you perhaps mean the 'lineset'? If so, it is usually a copper line (actually 2 copper lines) running counter-currently. They connect the indoor evaporator coil (above furnace or air-handler) to the outdoor condenser. One tubing carries the refrigerant gas from the indoor evaporator coil to the outdoor condenser and the other line carries the condensed (liquid) form of this gas back to the evaporator coil for it to be evaporated again and be converted back to gas. This is the refrigeration cycle of an A/C unit.
Can a larger capacitor be used in an air conditioner?
Function of Capacitor in Air Conditioner:Compressor Motor Capacitor: This air conditioning capacitor usually consists of two capacitors that are combined. This vital capacitor gets the motor running in the air conditioning unit.Start Capacitor: This capacitor provides auxiliary support and that is not a standard on every air conditioning unit. It can give the motor a boost to get it started.Indoor Blower Motor Capacitor: This capacitor is self-explanatory. It is responsible for starting the indoor-blower-motor and keeping it running efficiently.Outdoor Fan Motor Capacitor: The name says it all for this capacitor. It starts the outdoor fan and keeps the air flowing through the coils that run on the outside of an air conditioner.
What KVA generator is needed to run 1 ton split?
Well, honey, a 1 ton split AC unit typically requires around 3-4 KVA of power to run smoothly. So, you better make sure you've got a generator with at least that much juice if you want to keep cool when the power goes out. Don't skimp on the power, or you'll be sweating like a sinner in church.
What is the average electric bill for running an air conditioner?
As air conditioners come in many different sizes so will the cost to operate them. If you supply some values, a calculation can be made for that specific unit. The voltage and amperage and whether the unit is single phase or three phase are some of the values needed. Also needed is the time intervals of when the unit is off and when it is operating. By combining these values with what the utility company charges you per kWh an answer can be reached.
How do you clean air conditioner condenser on a ford f250?
The inside of the air conditioner condenser can be cleaned by removing the hoses and running water through the condenser. Run water through the condenser until the water exiting the condenser is clear.
What could be wrong if your central air conditioner blows hot air and the fan on the condenser is not running?
number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.
Why is my air conditioner condenser fan not running?
There are several possible reasons why your air conditioner condenser fan may not be running. It could be due to a faulty motor, a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a problem with the fan blades. It is recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
A faulty alternator plug was replaced on an '86 F350 460 the amp meter registers backwards and smokes a little when running?
The wires in the plug are backwards. switch them around
Why is the intake grill of your home air conditioner blowing cold air?
A supply duct connected to the return duct somewhere? Fan running backwards?
Do you have to run your car engine in order for your air conditioner to work?
Usually. In most cars, the condenser pump is driven by the belt assembly which requires the engine to be running in order to work.
Why would your car air conditioner run hot when in idle and blows cold air while driving?
Check to see if your condenser fan is running when a/c compressor kick on.
Why does your Whirlpool window air conditioner sound like running water but no water appears on the walls beneath it?
The air conditioner drips condensation inside the unit. There is a drip pan inside the unit that catches this water, the water then drains to the back of the unit which is a compartment that houses a fan and a condenser coil. The fan slings this water on the condenser coil which helps to condense and cool the refrigerant.
With air conditioner running pressures were fine then the high side and sution side started to climb Vents started blowing warm air Could this be a bad expantion valve?
Check the condenser coil.It might be restricted or pluged.Check to see if there is a condenser fan motor. Is it cycling on/off?
Will running an air conditioner on fan only cost as much as running on cool?
No. Running an air conditioner on fan does not cost as much as running on cool.
Does running the air conditioner in your car waste gas?
You will use more gas when your air conditioner is running.
What happens when Air conditioner running but fan not turning?
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.
