the blower fan stopped turning. My husband took unit out and put 3 and 1 oil in the oil plugs on it and put caps back on. Put it back in windowe and it ran great for two days, them did the same thing again. should he take it out and re - oil it or is there something else wrong. It is doing the same thing it did the first time.

question! if you turn the fan by hand will it begin to turn? does the fan make a noise when you turn it? is it hot? if the motor is hot chances are you just need to replace it. if the motor runs when you spin it by hand it is a capacitor called a start capacitor. cheap fix. it could be a run capacitor if it fails to stay running. best thing to do is call a quality company out for a service call. ask for the price up front on the service call.

first thing i would do is oil it with a good 20 or 30 weight oil...some hardware`stores sell an oil called zoom spout that is very good for electric motors...if motor does same thing and the ac is less than 13000 btu i would just go buy a new one....a replacement motor for any small ac is about the same price as the ac after you add labor and the capacitor to the price....never use 3 in 1 oil to oil electric motors..

Buy a new unit.If the blower unit is worn out the unit has allot of hours on it.Do you really want to put about a hundred bucks in that old AC unit.?

The easy answer is to replace unit.
The blower fan bushings or bearings may be going out. Or the motor for the fan needs work.

Check the run capacitor, if it is good then the motor is probably bad. The bearings on the motor are probably going bad. For more info check out the window ac page at my source.

in case your equipment has fuses it is extremely previous, and the fuse could have blown long formerly the receptacle melted. you have got a fuse it is rated for greater amps than the circuit can shelter, as an occasion a 30 amp fuse on a fifteen amp circuit. you may examine the size(gauge) of the twine with a gadget offered out of your ironmongery keep. A 14 guage twine for 15 amps and a 12 guage twine for 20 amps. you will discover out which circuit has the least load on it by skill of pulling the fuses and seeing which electric powered devises turn off, them pass the ac to the only with the least load.

3 in 1 is not for electric motors. Read the directions. 3 in 1 laqures with heat of spinning moto. You have not fixed it you just got the last breath out of it.
