Generator Fan Motor

[ppotter14950]

Hi there,

I am new to Bluebirds (Yesterday) and i have a generator problem and i
am hoping that someone can share some experiences.

The fan that cools the generator radiator is not turning. I did turn
the fan by hand and it keep turning and worked. I stopped the
generator and restarted and it did the same thing again. I did this a
third time and no matter how fast i spin the fan by hand it will not
run by itself.

I find what i believe to be a capacitor in a box right before the motor
and confirmed that i do have 220 going to the motor.

Does anyone know, does that typicaly go bad or the motor itself or both.

Now assuming the motor has gone bad, are there any secrets for removing
the fan assembly from the coach and from the squirrel cage.

Thanks again for your help and being new to bluebird, i am sure i will
have some more questions.

Thanks

Paul
