Condenser fan replacement Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Mon, 8 Apr 2019 08:02:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
What is the best way to replace the condenser fan with (hopefully) a minimum of disassembly? (The fan blades on mine basically disintegrated.)
I searched the board and even found my own previous post on this, but that was a situation where I was replacing the condenser so everything was accessible. (Also it was nearly six years ago and I've forgotten the details.) I have found references to there being a way to unbolt the fan and drop it out the bottom.
As I recall there are 3 fasteners behind the fan motor that attach the fan to the frame, and the frame is bolted to the condenser. It looks like you have to remove the entire fan/frame assembly, replace fan, put the assembly back in place. Clearance is very tight!
I think I've identified the fasteners that need to be removed, circled in the photo:
