    The condenser fan motor “getting stuck” most likely is the defrost cycle…did say it was otherwise working fine

    Replaced 5-6 of the ecm condensing fan motors on the newer rheem rhuud units . Fans get noisey, shut off and head pressure sky rockets . 24 volts coming off contactor and high voltage present so fan should never shut off but they do, replace the fans and haven't heard back from customers since. They were all less then 1 yr old too

    whoever installed that system, should enlarge return to at least 14. inch within proper plenum. I been doing service work for almost 15 years here in Tampa bay. Seen so Many installs with undersized ductwork. Fix the return and check static also. Possible noise during a defrost maybe?

    You gotta put a plenum on that return side even if its a 3" or 4" can so that you get good air volume into that coil. Possibly more return air if return duct size is too small.
