Help,I may blown up my condenser with wrong fuse

[Kevin25]

Anyone there pls. help me. Last week my ac did not work (the fan outside did not turn on). I replaced the fuse outside with the higher rate ones. I bought 45 A instead of 40 A. The fan was on & AC had been worked well for a week. Now the fan is stop working even though I bought another set of fuse (40A). All I got is a little warm air. The unit ouside is not working at all. There is no noise, no click, not a sound trying to start the fan motor. I think I blew up the motor by having the wrong fuse (Max fuse on panel of outside unit is 40A). The fuses are still good when measuring by meter. Anyone has any idea pls. help help. I do appreciate any idea, comment.

Thanks a lot

I doubt the fuse had anything to do with it. If the contactor closes when there is a call for cooling you could have a bad contactor or capacitor.

OK, I will change the contactor tonight & let you know if it works or not.
Thanks for your advice

Grady or someoneelse,

I changed the contactor. It still does the same thing that I have to press button on contactor in order for the fan working. I measured the voltage going to contactor. The reading was 1. I may measured wrong way. Please any one else show me how to measure it. Or any better idea.
Grady, I have only one capacitor in unit. Could you pls. tell me why I have to change my capacitor.

Any help = appreciate

There should be 240 Volts AC at the contactor. If the fan didn't come on it could be a blown fuse in the GS box or a fuse on the side of the house, bad starting capacitor, faulty wire in the A/C unit...
