No Cooling On Labor Day! 20+ Year Old York still Going.

Looks like you got one right here. I already found the problem outside, so I'm going to... It seems like... Was it cooling pretty good before it stopped? I did not catch this on film, but the condenser fan motor was not running. And I snatched this out. I can't hardly see. Thank God there's not a bunch of wasp on that. I think it's hot. I don't see the cover to it, though. It's not right offhand. But first, let's... The bearings are stiff on that motor. A little bit. one way you don't always have to check to see if um you well you do have to check to see if it's getting power but if the motor's hot and that's smoking hot you'll know it's getting power so at this point all we got to do is check that capacitor maybe it's just me but it looks like i got two brown wires but this one only has one spade on it so that's my fan there we go five microfarads it took a little while but it got there we'll check with this one two point eight so the capacitor is good we need a new motor this thing is in this is in bad shape i'll mess with that plug this must be from laundry or something right here by the air this is clearly an original motor horsepower looks like 1/12 amps 0.5 looking for rpm rpm 10 50. all right so we're going to use the lowest horsepower 1075 i got i think i can unplug this i'll see if i can pull it up from here replace this with a quarter horsepower i know this is 1/12 but that's what we're going with nope going the wrong way this motor's hot right here i can feel the heat coming off of it how about that we'll use this again we just got a red black and brown these are hot using one of these us motors 1860s basically i use it for a quarter horsepower and anything less i've had good results we'll refer back to that in a minute i didn't show but the plugs are in the back side of this motor on the top the little rubber plugs down here the holes are open so it's going to be able to drain out i think i'm going to replace the whole dual capacitor on this instead of just providing a new single capacitor all right we want this to turn this way which is clockwise lead in this clockwise rotation lead in means we gotta swap them don't try to use it though all right what i do with that plug here we go i have discontinued the ground i'm taking it off cut this a little bit shorter black to black as you'll see we've got got four wires here and three here i think i've shown y'all how to do this before but this is this red is my run these two right here are the same run and run this is my brown which is start from the capacitor all right let me get some wire nuts because it's hard to distinguish which one is which both of these are brown put these up right now run to the top of my contactor i know it says common on the capacitor but that's wrong fire it up forgot to read amp draw on that box amp draw 1.5 rotation real quick so that fan is doing good 22 system that's high suction it's about 90 degrees in there i'm not really sure how to tell what year this is but this is 25 year old system still doing fine that's it I wish I knew where the to that was I'll quote him a new disconnect it's probably gonna wait though
