  • Condensor cooling Fan Cruise Air

    Posted by gordon on January 11, 2024 at 3:41 pm

    My 95 Marathon condenser fan unit over / behind the Fridge is not starting, is making a humming sound when SMX is pressed to start either AC unit in cooling mode or in Fan only mode

    I suspect that the Fan assy is somehow locked up preventing start up, i am going to pull fridge out to access, can anyone please advise if the Condenser fan unit has a start and run capacitor similar to the compressor unit under the front bumper or is the Condensor cooling fan motor not fitted with capacitors ?

    Thanks For any Info

    The evaporator is behind the frig and doesn’t have a capacitor on it.

    Condensers are under the bus and have both a run and a start capacitors.

    Thanks for the confirmation Don, i will pull out the fridge and see whats going on, i was aware of the start and run capacitors on the compressor under the bumper as i replaced a compressor unit on the front unit last year but wasnt sure of the condensor fan, Thanks again !
