Evcon condenser fan not running, possible capacitor
Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 5:48 pm
We have an Evcon Model BRQC036B condenser outside the house.
I believe the problem is with (one of) the capacitor(s).
One of the mounting prongs on the capacitor seems to like to burn itself off a couple of times each summer. I clean the wire, put on a new female end and reattach and everything's fine for a few months until I come home and the furnace is running but not cooling. A quick look outside shows the condenser fan not running.
Otherwise the thing runs great.
It looks similar to http://www.mobilehomerepair.com/media/i ... 9-4681.jpg but only has three tabs on each disc.
Pictures can be seen at http://www.kevets.com/evcon
I'd like to order a new condenser but I'm not sure exactly which one.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
