Ac went out and they determined I needed a new cond fan. I bought the only fan I could find which was one rated for different horsepower and I wired it up right or soni thought and it cooled down to 79 inside but it's sweating profusly and it's obviously not right. I can't get anyone to respond to my call in a sat night so any idea how this wires up on a 3 wire system. Or what's causing it to condensate so much?? Please help a HOT brother out!!!!

Was the new motor the same RPM as the old motor and did you also replace the cap with the motor? -
What is sweating profusely? The condensate may be due to the high indoor temp/humidity. Was the motor the same RPM? Is the blade turning the right way so air is exhausted out of the top? It sounds like it is doing what it can right now if it is cooling and making water. Why do you say it is obviously not right?Comment

It was stuck on 79 all day where it was cycling at 75 before this mess. The vents are sweating and the indoor unit is pouring water out of it pretty much. Ruined brand new hard wood floors
. Im ******!! Lol. I shall never again jack with an ac, EVER!!
I didn't replace the cap with the new motor and honestly I never checked to see if they matched up. I'm confused
The motor was the same rpm granted I hooked it up rightComment

Is it turning at the same rate as the old fan? Does it sound weak? Also have you checked the drain line at your evap coil to make sure that it is not clogged up? As said above it could be just a high heat/humidity load in the house. Wish you were closer bud.Comment

Sounds like it is unrelated to the condenser fan motor to me. Sweating vents is too cold of air or high humidity. Current conditions in NE Texas shows dewpoints around 70 degrees. That is pretty humid but if it has never done this before I am not sure what it could be. I would check the temp split between the return and supply. 18-22 degrees is ideal. Good luck.Comment

By any chance when your outdoor fan motor went out did the whole outdoor unit shut off? Just a thought, but I am wondering if your unit had a float switch in the drain pan or line installed. If by chance the line was clogged it would shut off your condenser. Just a thought.Comment

Did you place the fan blade on the shaft of the motor in the same place?Comment

Make sure the fan is on the motor the right way it should be blowing air up from your unit.Comment
