Got a 15 year old Tempstar (Model CA5536VKD2) where the compressor will run but not the fan. Fan is not seized. I had a local guy service it over the years, and we are both thinking capacitor issue. Trouble is, he doesn't have one and it's late on Saturday, wife going to be unhappy as it is warming up here.
The capacitor in the unit is a 40uF + 3uF, a big fat one. Seems like a 40 + 3 is not that common, cannot not get until Wednesday. However, 40 + 5 seems pretty common. Can I run a 40 + 5 instead of the 40 + 3? Maybe for just a couple of days, assuming I could score one?
thanks.
