Your air conditioning unit’s fan motor
controls the operation of the equipment’s fan blades, so when it becomes
faulty, you’ll be in for a major inconvenience. Common problems involving an
AC’s fan motor include the motor churning out excessive noise, its inability to
get air to efficiently circulate, and others. Here are some basic tips you
ought to know about troubleshooting these issues:
Loud Noises
A
noisy fan motor typically points toward mechanical failure or damage, such as
dislodged or loose parts obstructing the motor as it spins. Before you go and
check what the problem is, make sure to turn off the electrical connections to
your AC unit. Then, open the cover, look for whatever has been dislodged and
have it repaired or replaced as necessary.
Overheating
An
overheating AC motor could be disastrous, and it might surprise you one day by
eventually killing the unit and rendering it in need of replacement. Look out
for signs of overheating like discolored paint and the presence of carbon dust
(or you could simply check if the motor seems abnormally hot).
No Air Circulation
This problem is typical
of air conditioners that have been in operation for quite a long time, and is
naturally getting worn down. If you notice that the fan seems to be exerting
too much effort, yet the room is still inadequately cooled, you might want to
consider a replacement.
