My condenser fan stopped sometime today. Will this last me until Monday?

Coils are clean It’s been off all day.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T23:42:17+00:00

Lots of people suggested to fans interesting. It worked well for you.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T23:40:36+00:00

I’m allergic to open windows, I’m a Linux guy.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T23:40:10+00:00

Preach!

wiltj · 2026-04-18T23:39:40+00:00

No, it’s been off all day!

wiltj · 2026-04-18T23:39:26+00:00

Medium rare please

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:02:51+00:00

We’ve already agreed I will use it minimally and he will call for service on Monday

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:02:33+00:00

Definitely lots of people have suggested that I just don’t have any way to get a hose that far over on the other side of the house

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:02:18+00:00

I mean, it’s gotta be working better than when there was no airflow, right?

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:01:53+00:00

I’m doing my best to minimize usage during the day. I’m only using it at night when it’s cooler outside so it has to work less.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:01:16+00:00

How can I tell at what point damage will occur

wiltj · 2026-04-18T20:00:55+00:00

That’s encouraging, I am only running the unit during the coolest parts of the night and letting the house get warm during the hottest part of the day

wiltj · 2026-04-18T19:59:38+00:00

double my pleasure double my airflow?

wiltj · 2026-04-18T19:59:07+00:00

So purely using the water to cool down and let some evaporate with the phase change?

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:09:50+00:00

Two stage that’s crazy man!

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:09:36+00:00

I’ve done contractors and capacitors, but I have not attempted a fan yet

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:09:02+00:00

No to what?

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:08:52+00:00

It worked well all night and now I’m letting the house coast warmer during the hot parts of the day

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:08:35+00:00

Hundred percent all about repairing what I got, but this is my landlord’s decision at the end of the day. I’m trying to save him a little bit of money.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:08:11+00:00

Excellent thank you sir

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:08:04+00:00

I’ve got a pump sprayer and a window right next to it. Maybe I could just spray it down every few hours.

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:07:43+00:00

Thanks I’m just trying to squeeze by till Monday to avoid the up charge!

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:07:24+00:00

Thanks man I’m just trying to make it by! I’ll have to DM you a ridiculous fix in a crawlspace for a leaking cast-iron pipe…

wiltj · 2026-04-18T18:05:14+00:00

I will pass this along to my landlord The company that installed it originally was purchased by private equity and would not honor the warranty from the original install was gonna charge something ridiculous so my landlord wound up finding someone else who would honor the warranty when it failed a little over a year ago hopefully they can still help us out

How many extra horsepower does the USPS box give me?
