Carrier 38YXA036 Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor has a specific duty of cooling the outdoor compressor, because a large quantity of heat gets released and that heat must be discharged into the air outside. It is important that the replacement motor has the correct voltage and the correct amp listing as it is on the bad motor. It can be replaced without the need of replacing the blade too, this tends to make things easier and will reduce the costs you need to pay.
Key symptoms of a worsening cooling fan motor
- The compressor cooling motor smells burnt or shorts out while in use
- The Carrier cooling motor tries but fails to turn the blade
- A terrible grinding sound while the motor starts
