Having a problem with my Goodman Janitrol A36-15 blower motor, The blower will come on intermittently. On A/C, the thermostat (Honeywell) will double click and the compressor will start. After the delay, the blower will usually come on and run fine. Recently, it has come on sometimes and sometimes will not. If I kick the blower breaker (30 Amp) on the air handler On/Off On/Off a couple of times, I can get it to start and run. While running, the motor runs normally with no strange noises. I can run the system on Fan Only for hours and the blower runs just fine. If I reset to A/C with the system running, the compressor will start and run and the blower will run until the temperature goes down to the setting as it should. When the thermostat kick again, it may run normally or I am back to kicking the breaker On/Off.
I replaced the run capacitor and the blower delay relay about two months ago to fix this problem and the system has run well til now. It's back to doing the kicking the breaker On/Off. Could my blower motor have a dead spot? I noticed that as I was kicking it On/Off, the unit would buzz like it was stuck, then a few more kicks would start it.
Possibly related: When the system seemed to be running fine, I heard a buzz in the air handler when the outside compressor was running. Once the compressor shut down, the buzz stopped and the blower motor finished its cycle.
