HotCarl Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 So i come home from work late sunday night and our AC is broken. My roomate, who owns the condo calls around and can't get anyone till friday (sears) every other company isn't available until late next week. The Fan motor on the outside unit is running but for some reason or another the fan blades themselves aren't moving. I'm hoping its a replaceable part, b/c a new unit would be a bit expensive right now. Does anyone 'know a guy'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 The fan motor is running, or the compressor motor is running, or both? Just gota make sure. If the fan motor is running, probably a broken hub. JB weld that bitch so it will hold till you get a new part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I don't know anyone, but recently when ours went out during the last little heat wave, I went to walmart and bought a window unit. I installed it in the living room (about 15min), hung a blanket in the kitchen/liv room entry, and cranked it up. Worked great. Once the a/c was fixed, I took the window unit back. (Whaddya gonna do I have animals...) Funny how I just posted about a broken a/c and my last idea I used to get thru that in a thread just before this one. It involved a tent and an extra fridge. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
