Carrier 38QRF018 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor has the main duty of cooling the compressor, due to the large amount of heat must be driven away. The motor on the compressor fan can be replaced with or without the blade, this may make it a lot easier and cheaper for you. Just make sure you buy a replacement motor with the same voltage and correct amp current as on the current fan motor.
Subtle hints the cooling fan motor is in dire need of a replacement
- You hear a grinding noise when the motor starts
- The compressor cooling motor smells burnt or sparks when it is spinning
- The Carrier cooling motor cannot turn at all
