Carrier 38EYA042 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor is responsible for cooling the outdoor compressor, because as the compressor gets hot the heat has got to be dissipated. Just make sure you buy a replacement motor with the similar voltage as well as amps as on the current fan motor. It can be replaced with or without the blade, this can make the installation go smoother and cheaper for you.
Simple indications of an ailing compressor fan motor
- A constant grinding noise when the cooling fan starts
- The motor smells burnt or sparks when it begins to turn
- The Carrier motor tries but fails to turn at all
