This a cheap 5K BTU. The fan will stop and the compressor will cut-out
after from over-heating.
It's a dual-purpose fan for condenser/expansion coil dissipation.
Anyone else have a similar problem...before I take it apart?
Thanks!

Fairly common problem on window AC units. Replace the fan motor, but check
the cost first. It may not be worth the trouble compared to a new unit. If
you can't DIY, it is definitely cheaper to buy a new unit.
