When a mechanical bearing becomes overheated for whatever reason, the lubricating material will become less viscous, and the danger of metal-to-metal contact increases. This will lead to the failure of the bearing.

Will a bad ac bearing cause a motor to overheat?

Yes, a bad AC bearing can cause a motor to overheat. When the bearing is worn or damaged, it increases friction and resistance, making the motor work harder to operate. This additional strain leads to higher temperatures, potentially damaging the motor and other components if not addressed promptly. Regular maintenance can help prevent such issues.
