They said they were ordering a new one from Trane. Hopefully that is what
happens. I’m still wondering if the fan quit
it. I
left it off for 5-10 min.

I was not sure a bad fan itself would lead to it not running at all. I’m still
suspecting the fan quit one night while it was running then the compressor blew
up. Maybe I will get a new unit out of it.

One might hope testing the caps would be the second thing they'd do, after
checking the contactor.

They said the fan motor was bad. That’s all I know.

They said they were ordering a new one from Trane. Hopefully that is what
happens. I’m still wondering if the fan quit working and it burned up the
compressor. You would think they would habe checked that because it’s not like
compressor kicks on then shuts off later if pressure gets too high.
It was working fine a week or so ago when we were over there then the next day
would not turn on at all. Inside unit runs but outside unit does not.

The fan not coming on won't stop the compressor from coming on.
If there's a high pressure switch, it'll hopefully stop the compressor
from getting fried.
Did it just happen?
Seems like the tenants would have been throwing a fit if the AC didn't
work when they were still there.
Make sure they replace it with a real fan and not a cheapo "rescue" motor.
I was away once and the fan motor went out (this is the condenser
cooling fan) and the guy came and put in a new one, was like $500, my
wife paid him. Fan goes out again less than a year later, I call the
guy, he
Inside unit comes on but outside unit doesn’t. When it’s turned on you hear a
semi loud click. That sound was the contactor pulling in. Put in a service
request with the warranty people. They came out today. Fan was bad, ordering a
new one. I guess if the fan is bad it prevents the unit from
15 matches
