Broken motor in Delta Air Cleaner - RayFleck - 10-07-2020
After recently changing the filter in my Delta Air Cleaner, I noticed that the motor would quit after a few minutes running. When I try to start it up again, I hear beeps and clicking noises but it won't start. Then, a few minutes later, it starts again, runs fine, then quits after a couple minutes.
Is the motor broken, or is it overheating, or what?
TIA

Sounds like it's overheating and tripping out an internal overload device. Is it a permanent split-capacitor type motor (PSC)? If so, the capacitor is probably toast.
