OT: air conditioner parts

[EDJFA]

Is there an air conditioner parts supplier in St. Charles that's open to the public. I'm pretty sure my fan motor is going out on my a/c. It seems pretty simple to replace. My normal AC guy wants $400+ to do the job. Actually he said its time to replace AC and furnace. Just trying to finish out the summer without going that far.

They are fairly common motors, I believe even home depot carries them. You don't need to go to an ac supplier.

Condenser or Evap fan motor? You might find it on eBay.

Ya you should be able to find it about anywhere. Also, are you sure it is not a bad start capacitor?

It's the motor that hangs from the grill in the AC unit outside. Fan doesn't spin. AC guy said a thermal connection shuts it off when it overheats. We've been able to just spray the motor with a hose and it will start spinning. Last night it stopped. Stood outside for 15 minutes spraying the unit down. Nothing. I've got the motor out. Now to find a replacement.
