Friedrich VEA12K Cooling Fan Motor
The fan motor has a specific duty of keeping the compressor cool, because as the compressor gets hot the heat that needs to be dispelled into the air. Be certain the replacement motor has the correct voltage listed and amps as it is on the bad motor. The motor on the compressor fan can be replaced sans the blade, this makes installation simpler and will not drain your bank account.
Signs the cooling fan motor needs to be replaced
- You hear a rubbing or scraping sound as the motor starts or stops
- The Friedrich motor does not move at all
- The main cooling motor begins to smoke or throws sparks while it is spinning
