How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit. Do not run the unit with a seizing motor; it can overheat.
- Step 1 – Determine which fan:
- Remove front cover to listen near the indoor blower.
- Remove rear panel to listen near the condenser fan.
- Step 2 – Inspect fan wheel:
- Check for wobbling or rubbing.
- Step 3 – Replace motor:
- Order the correct Pro Breeze Indoor Fan Motor or Condenser Fan Motor for your model.
- Mark wiring connections, remove the fan wheel, and swap the motor.
Attempting to lubricate sealed bearings is usually temporary; replacement is the proper fix.
