## Condenser Fan Motor FAQs
**Q: How do I know if my condenser fan motor is bad?**
A: Common symptoms include:
- Motor won't start (hums but doesn't spin)
- Motor starts then stops
- Excessive noise or vibration
- Overheating/burning smell
- Shaft won't turn freely when power is off
- Fan blade spins very slowly
**Q: Can I use a different HP motor?**
A: No. Always match the horsepower rating. Using the wrong HP can cause equipment damage or inefficiency.
**Q: What does reversible rotation mean?**
A: Motor can run clockwise or counter-clockwise. Simply swap two wires to change direction.
**Q: Do I need to replace the capacitor with the motor?**
A: Recommended. A weak capacitor can damage your new motor. Replace both for best results.
**Q: Can I replace an ECM motor with a PSC motor?**
A: Not recommended. ECM motors have different control requirements. Replace ECM with ECM.
**Q: Do you stock motors for older units?**
A: Yes! We maintain inventory of motors for units 20+ years old. If not in stock, we can often source it quickly.
