AC Fan Cycling Off After Replacing Blown Capacitor.

08/13/2010 2:44 PM

Hello. Earlier this week, when the heat index was above 110 F, I came home to a warm house. I discovered that the dual run capacitor on my Bryant AC had blown the top off, spitting oil every where. After tracking down a replacement capacitor, and cleaning up the oil, I powered up the unit again. The fan will run for 30 seconds, and then cuts power for a second or two before powering up again. The blades never come to a stop, but slow down for that period of time. I thought I had a bad capacitor so I purchased another one but have the same problem.

Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated.

Brett

Replace contacts also, they are relatively cheap and do cause problems when they start to wear out.
