How does a motor becomes defective?
Worn components due to age (average life span 5 to 10 years). Seized fan blade or blower wheel no longer cools, causing motor burnout. Overheating due to burnouts power surges, lightning, etc. Dirty motor and/or coils cause low airflow and overheating. Lack of proper maintenance, especially regular lubrication. Back to top 15-Is compressor replacement a good economic decision? It depends. If the compressor is under warranty, It makes sense to replace the compressor. If the system is less than six years old: It makes sense to replace the compressor when the rest of the system is in good working condition. If the system more than six years old and the compressor is no longer under warranty: Consider replacement the system/unit because: 1. Today’s new systems are more efficient and will save money on operating costs. 2. The new system will come with a five-ten year compressor warranty. 3. If you replace the compressor, the new compressor will be part of an old system/unit with older parts
