If cabletech's problem is the capacitor, would the unit kick back on after pushing the reset?

The compressor and the condenser fan motor both have their own caps, so it's possible for just one of the two to come on. What I'm assuming is his compressor is overheating due to the condenser fan not working and shutting down, and the reset is allowing it to kick back on until it overheats again.

I'm glad I asked. Last week when I had to have both of them replaced because of the mini fire I got to wondering later why there were two of them. Thanks.

this sounds like it might be what is happening.

i didn't realize that there are (our could be 2 caps). the one i'm aware of looks like a tin can bolted to underneath side of service unit. where might the other one be?

Where the power comes in is there a plate that can be removed? (turn off breaker first of course)

Sometimes there are two separate caps, but most units actually use a "dual-cap" like this one:



It's basically two caps in one, and it is possible for just one section to go bad.

actually, cap got hit by lightning 2 years ago. replaced then. i opened up the unit, inspected all that i could. no chewed wires, no frosted or hot copperlines either. i spun the fan unit by hand and it freely spun. the cap on the other hand looks extremely rusted out on the underneath side.
i locked everything back down. turned inside unit back on and finally powered outside unit back up too. unit kicked on, but no fan spin. unit sounded like it was working properly and after about 90 seconds the outside unit shut off. i could feel heat coming off the unit as well, but still no fan.
walked inside, vents blower cooler air than before, but not sure if actually cold as should be.
anything else i should look for? would a fan that was replaced about 11 months ago be under warranty?
