Hello guys,
hope someone can help me out with this.
my AC unit runs 2 compressors, unit A and B (12000btu each) it has 2 capacitors, one of 30 uF and another of 30uF+6uF. the dual capacitor which runs the unitB and the fan was damaged as I saw it spilling dielectric fluid. so i replaced it with 2 capacitors(since i couldnt find an exact match 30uF+6uF). so i got 2 capacitors, one of 30uF and one of 6uF. did all the wiring as shown in the wiring diagram plus a wire connecting from the C to the 6uF. so theres a new wire from the "Common" to the 6uF. and of course the wire that was supposed to be on the Fan connector is now connected to the other end of the 6uF. the thing is that the fan wont start. i have to spin it by hand and then it will start spinning.not fast enough though. i replaced again the 6uF capacitor thinking it was damaged and same result. i even bought a new fan motor thinking the motor was damaged and same thing.it wont start on its own nor spin fast enough.
anyway then i tried using a 25uF+5uF to start both the compressor and the fan. the compressor kicked in just fine but the fan wont move, when spinning it by hand it would pick up speed but just not enough to cool the condenser coil.
any thoughts?
this is an LG multitype room air conditioner model M242CS.
thx so much in advance.
