The "small tube" (liquid line) being hot would most likely indicate

That is happening. The compressor is running, but the fan isn't
blowing. I can feel warm air coming out of the compressor, but the
fan isn't blowing it out.

could be a problem with the motor itself, or a problem in the defrost
controls. What is the brand and model nuber of the unit?


The motor was replaced last month. However, the new motor made a lot
more noise than the old one. It is a Rheem RPKA-031, about 7 years
old.

Thanks!

Replace you know what by j to email


I'm thinking you're not getting good service with this company. If they've
replaced the wall thermostat, the compressor, the run capacitor, the outdoor
fan motor, and you're still having issues - there's something rotten in your
town and it's not the fruit.

It might have been easier to just replace the equipment at this point. Call
a new company and get a second opinion.
