Started getting warm in here, walked outside and the unit was not spinning?
Is this something that I turn it off for a half hour and turn back on, or should I be calling someone?

turning it off probably wont help, call somebody

Do you hear it humming? If so take a small stick and see if you can spin it, if it takes off then you capacitor is bad and should be replaced.

Sounds like a motor or capacitor problem give someone a call

If the motor is bad you can replace it yourself, I replaced mine last year & it's pretty straight forward. Remove the old one & take it with you so you know you're getting the right thing. I went to Locke Supply & they were able to find me a match.

The stick worked. THANK YOU!

Nice! Capacitor is cheaper than a motor.

I am glad to hear that it is just a cap. However, the cap is for more than starting the fan motor. It also stays in the circut to better the power factor(use less amps to do the same work) this will cause the fan motor to heat up and quit on thermal overload, the compressor will continue the pressure will go high and eventually go into bypass. This puts a stess on the compressor and sometimes the bypass does not reseat and your compressor is bad. So call me and I will likely have the cap you need. Joe
