Air Conditioning Condenser Fan Motor Getting Hot

One of the problems that homeowners have with their AC unit is with the condenser fan motor getting over heated. The unit is located outside and it is doing the majority of the work in the dead of summer. The great thing is that the motor can withstand around 150 degrees but if it reaches higher than that it can over heat. If the motor overheats it will stop working and the fan may stop working. Then the rest of the unit will not be cooled and will no longer be efficient. You want to make sure that you keep an eye and if it does overheat you have a technician out. You can try to create some shade for the unit during the hottest part of the day. The technicians can come out and make sure that there is not any more damage that needs repaired.
