Source for condenser fan? Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Thu, 1 Nov 2018 12:19:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Anyone have a good source for a condenser fan? I replaced mine about 6-7 years ago when rebuilding the AC system. This summer the fan started making noise, turning on and off with the compressor. I figured the motor bearings must be starting to go.
Today I finally took off the grille to take a look and found that the plastic fan had self-destructed! Fortunately it did not damage the condenser or anything else. The motor appears to be all right.
I had purchased the fan from Eeuroparts but they no longer carry it. I still have the original fan and motor, but it's seized up. Unfortunately it looks like the shafts are different so I'm probably not going to be able to transfer the original fan to the aftermarket motor. For now I just removed the broken fan. We won't be getting any hot weather for a while. (Though it was probably like this through our very hot summer and the AC worked OK.)
