Trane Voyager Condenser Fan Problems

[Cold shot]

Carrier 38AKS condensing units with 2 fans do this too. #2 fan rotates backwards while #1 runs, when #2 is energized, it continues to run in wrong direction. A new capacitor fixes this.....for a while!

What he said is true, had this happen to me before, got another new motor and magically it ran the right direction.

Have to be careful with York Equipment they run condenser fans in reverse to maintain system head pressures.......usually 3phase equipment though....

I have not seen that before, interesting. Must have a second contactor to run fan in opposite direction.

Wound for opposite rotation. Factory mix up. It happens.

maybe at the factory they put the rotor in the wrong way. could have tried flipping the rotor.

Now that's one I haven't run across. Do you have a model number on that?

i have had the trane motor run in reverse before, i flipped the fan blade to get them by untill the new motor arrived. not the best. high head, also had to run a sprinkler on the coil. great for roof leaks.
