18000btu aricon
Hi Guys,
I have a 18000btu split unit, the condenser fan is not working on cooling cycle,
the compressor comes on, the solenoid has power, the indoor blows.
i have changed the capacitor, the p.c. board & electrical board, but this does not help,
i tested the unit in heating mode, the fan comes on immediately & seems to operate
ok, problem is i cannot fill with gas to the right pressure?
any ideas out there?

If you already changed the pc board then check and/or change the condenser temperature sensor.

Does the fan have a multi-speed motor? If so check all of the windings, maybe the cooling side uses different winding to the heating cycle.

Hi Guys,
thanks for the replies, it seems the unit had a gremlin inside! if i replace the electrical components one by one + the sensors, the unit fan still does not operate, when i replace all the components together, the unit runs 100%
i have tested now for a whole day on heating & cooling, no problems.
thanks for all you help!
