any a/c techs here?
« on: May 03, 2009 - 06:48:15 PM »
my son just bought his first home.  :woohoo:
but alas, there is a problem with the outside a/c unit.  :banghead:
its a lennox. no known tonage. the problem is with the fan (rotor) not starting with the unit. if you manually start the rotor, all is well until it shuts off and tries to start again.
this unit is not that old, so im thinking its something simple. it does throw a 4 flash code for locked rotor.
its not iced up, it has a good charge(well at least i think it does, it doesnt try and cycle alot like a typical low charge unit)
and does actually cool excellent when running.

any help?   :dunno:

Not a tech but it sounds like the start windings in the motor are bad or if it has a start capacitor that could be bad.
