    Wink Heat Pump Fan Not Turning



    Dear Forum,

    My heat pump fan does not spin. If I turn it off and try to spin it, it turns freely, but with it powered up, it turns tight. The cap seems to be OK; no bulges.
    Is my motor shot?

    Thanks!
    Mike

    Start by checking the capacitor properly. It may not have any physical defects but it could still be internally compromised. Compare its rated micro-farads against the actual. You may need to simple change out the capacitor. Also ohm out the motor windings as it may tell a story.
