The Report

What the homeowner told us

Sunday morning the system started blowing warm air. After turning it off and back on it blew cold briefly, then went back to blowing warm air.

Findings & Work Performed

What Garrett documented during the visit

I replaced the outdoor condenser fan motor and set the rotation and wiring to match the system. I verified the fan blade was secure and cleared the shroud for proper airflow.

The Verification

Verification performed

I started the system and confirmed the new fan motor ran smoothly with normal amp draw. Pressures stabilized and the system resumed normal cooling with a good temperature split.
