Thank you, it was 84 degrees in my house as we waited for the new motor to arrive. I figured there had to be a way to get the motor to start running again, even if for just a few days. It started right up and my wife is happy! Liked and subd.
I oiled mine and ordered the replacement. hopefully it last long enough till the replacement comes in the mail. It's going to be pretty hot for the next 3 days.
This is my exact problem. Thank you for sharing! I added the oil, but sometimes theres this long delay befor the ac starts running again when I turn it on.
That specific 3 in 1 oil (blue label) is not sold here only the black label is sold here , don't use the black label in a fan motor because it gums it up and the fan won't turn.
Its nice of you to post that update. This is still a good idea, though you can also take off the bolts holding the housing together to oil both sides directly. If the motor is making noise its probably too late though.
