You sir are right. I glazed over that part of his post. The rest of your post is subjective.
LOL I got ya , its easy to do, especially if youve been working on your own ac..
True..
it came from an HVAC website, a general troubleshooting guideline , if you will.
And at 20 years old....ehh , no tellin
Of course, it all depends on individual skill and comfort level. Beautiful thing about the Internet is the sheer size of the repository of information (and porn) but have to know when to call a pro. For me that point is when dealing with the closed refrigerant part of the system.
I'd get a new blower motor and capacitor, take your old motor to Johnstone supply if your close to one and they'll fix you up, I've even seen them pull the wheel for people too!
My capacitor went out last week. Everything was on on working fine just blowing hot air. My house is only 14 months old so I was 2 months out of freakin warranty!
A lot of times when the small caps go bad they don't bulge. Only way to test is with a meter that reads mfd.
Hold a charge? I've never been shocked by one that didn't have power energized to the unit and have changed hundreds, but I'm not an inspector and spout bs on the interwebs.
