I've been having a problem with the inside blower not coming on on my
central a/c unit. What's basically happening is that im setting my
thermostat (older type with the liquid mercury) to 76 degrees and its
also set to "auto". The unit will operate properly for random
times...sometimes 10 hours and other times only 30 minutes or so.
Eventually the inside blower will just not engage. The outside unit
comes on and I can feel that freon is flowing through the evaporator
coil but the blower just sits still. Ive taken off the face of the
thermostat and checked and the "circuit" is being made with the liquid
mercury so the inside blower should have powered on. The way i get it
to engage is to take the thermostat and move it upwards to where the
mercury moves and breaks the circuit then i lower it again to complete
the circuit and voila the blower comes on. Its been giving me this
problem for about 2 weeks now and ive had someone out to my apt 4
times to check on it. Theyve changed the thermostat and checked the
wiring and freon levels and everything is seemingly normal. Anyone
have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Wes

I was going to post this info in my original question but I forgot.

As stated I live in an apartment complex.

The complex doesnt allow anyone except their own maintenance people to
repair any of their equipment. Which is why I asked the question here
so that I could kindve hint to the guy what it might be the next time
he is over to look at it again.

Christopher, I appreciate your response.

Thanks,
Wes

Does the blower motor hum when it should be running?

I suspect the motor capacitor. Or the motor itself could be frozen up.
