Did he replace the capacitor when he replaced the fan motor?

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 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?

All the cap does is give the motor a boost to get started. With the unit turned on, go out and try to give a shove to one of the fan blades with a screwdriver or something and see if it starts.

If it's anything like a car pressures probably skyrocket when the fan doesn't run and the high pressure cut off switch kills the compressor
