Capacitor isn't swollen, unit is kicking on and the fan is trying to turn, but it's not and getting super hot. Attic unit has no fault alerts either.
Pretty sure the motor outside is gone, already found the parts online, just never installed a motor, did a capacitor before. |

Mine did the same thing last year. It was the capacitor, and I found one on Amazon for like 7 bucks. The old one looks perfect - just doesn't work.

If that's the case it's motor time. If you can wait order it off Amazon, cheaper than I can buy them from a supply house. The hardest part will be getting the old fan blade off. Clean the shaft with sand cloth, lots of kroil, some luck and start twisting the blade one way while turning the shaft the other. If it moves it'll slide right off. Replace the cap with the new motor. If you need phone tech support, IM me and I'll give you my number. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Got the parts from John, came home and installed it. Wasn't paying attention and didn't realize due to the motor being taller the fan bolt thing hanging down was hitting the compressor. Had to pull it all off and cut the bolt, readjust the fan, etc.
Been running constant to cool the upstairs off since 7pm, fan motor temp is 94 right now. Air is 54 coming out of the vents. Everything looks good right now. I appreciate John helping, I brought him some .223 and 9mm ammo along with the money. He doesn't have a 9mm though, so I kept that.
