Arrived to unit off at the breaker. Homeowner replaced capacitor and the condenser fan motor would not turn on. Checked the capacitor the homeowner installed and found testing within manufacturer specs. Tested bearings on fan motor and found them to be in rough shape. Unit started up without issue. Measured start amps and found them to be high. Condenser fan was also pulling high amps but below the FLA rating. Contactor was looking pretty burnt and pitted and testing with high ohms, but within range. Cycled unit on and off several times with rest periods and everything was operating as it should. Advised homeowner of my findings, and provided a quote so he could get an idea of what the motor would cost. Homeowner would like to set up comfort advisor visit I order to get an idea of what a full system replacement would cost. Set up for Friday afternoon.
