AC was working fine until today...Fan is still working...Pulled the unit out and could feel the HEAT coming from the condenser. The whole unit was unusually hot..which is something I've never ran into as well!? What should I do now? Or is the answer still the same? No AC repair guys for PTAC's in my town. Already tried several...Please help! Sorry, about the confusion regarding PTAC model# from my last question.
Hummm. A bit difficult to solve this problem. Seems like the condenser outside is not working, I mean the fan of the condenser. Looks like you have a wall A/C and a wall A/C always have condensers outside the house and near the A/C. Have you checked if the fan is spinning? I don't think the compressor is at fault but check it anyway. You should be able to hear the compressor running either in the wall unit or in the outside condenser housing. The only heat you should feel is from the condenser itself. If you blows warm air, that means the fan is working, if not that means the fan is not working. But don't be confused with the fan not working because in winter time sometimes the fan is not working and some times it does. As I said, it's a difficult problem to solve but at least start with checking the situation with the fan in the condenser.

Hi,
Pls check following......
1) If the Fan run and the Blower not function its min loose the hub or screw of the blower ,fix the hub or screw .
2) May be the the shafting of fan motor not rotate, repair the shafting or bushing of fan motor.
3) Check the Capacitor if this low capacitance or open (not function) using Multi-tester to check the parts.
4) Check the Fan motor wire if this loose connection.
if does not working,go to the nearest repairman to help the problem.
Thank you & have a nice day

Heat pumps have saftey circuits that prevent liquid flooding of the compressor. Inadequate airflow across the evaporator in cooling can trip this circuit. Have your package unit serviced with particular attention to cleaning the evaporator coil and be sure your filters are clean and changed frequently in the summer months. Hope this helps GL!
