so the motor went out on my condenser. I replaced it and the fan blades thinking the orignal seemed a bit out of balance.
both are generic parts, a dayco fan motor and blade.
so I was standing near it today mowing, and it feels like air is being pulled in from the sides, but blown out the front of the condenser. The air flow out the top does not seem to be as good as the second smaller unit.
I was afraid I had the fan wired backwards and it was sucking air from the top or something. So I reversed it and it then started sucking from the top, so I put it back.
there seems to be a shroud around the fan blades. I thought I seated it as far down as the blades would go without hitting anything, but maybe it could go further?
is that my problem? or am I just making the difference up?
I am pretty sure the sides of the smaller unit was measure 92, and the unit I fixed measured 106 at the coils with an ir temp gun. so I am concerned about the air flow. But different size units may be the difference.
