Carrier 38QRF036 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor on the compressor has the main duty of cooling the outdoor compressor, this is needed because of the heat that needs to be dissipated. The motor can be replaced on its own without the blade, this tends to make installing it easier and make it a probable DIY project. Just make sure the new motor has the correct voltage listed and the proper amount of amperage as it is on the bad motor.
Symptoms the fan motor will eventually need to be replaced
- The compressor cooling motor starts to smoke makes a zapping sound when in use
- You hear a grinding sound while the cooling fan stops
- The Carrier cooling motor cannot turn at all
