Question:

home central ac unit motor seized up, fan doesn't run, top of ac getting hot.?

noticed this morning central ac unit the motor seized up the fan does not run. What can I do to loosen up the motor it myself. I can not afford to have someone come out and check it on fixed income.

Answer:

Loosening it won't work out. It needs to be replaced if the shaft seized.
This is not a cost-saving moment. The motor has badly overheated, This was likely caused bty bearing problems, but it does not really matter bacaue you cannot repair it and continuing to try will increase risk of fire. One option only: replace it. If it is a belt-drive unit, you may be able to do it yourself. If it is integrated, professional service isrecommended.
replace it and be done with it, u can shop around for the best price, good luck !!!!
