Goodman 3 ton system, all of a sudden system not cooling, checked outside unit and found fan running, but it does not seem like compressor is running, has cool air blowing from fan exhaust. New compressor installed approx. 1 yr ago, felt compressor while unit running - it felt WARM ? ? ? ?
Are you speaking of the outside fan or inside? compressor should be a little warm but not boiling hot. the unit could be low on freon. if low it will run a while but the compressor will overheat and shut off leaving the fan running by itself ouside. if nothing outside is running check power. if you have power check the contacted outside to make sure it's pulled in. contacters are bad about going out on goodman untis. Also ants can get under contacts.
The compressor should feel warm while running. If you find the fan running and not the compressor, feel the compressor and see if it is hot, it may burn you. If it is, it is locked up and needs to be replaced. I believe those units have only one contactor meaning both the fan and compressor are energized at the same time. If the fan is running without the compressor, the compressor is probably bad. You need to make sure filters are changed on a regular basis and the indoor coil is clean. You need to have the technician (after compressor replacement) do a thorough job checking the pressures and temps of the refrigerant after it has run for at least 30 mins. If the compressor died that quick there is something wrong in your system causing it to go out. Good luck.
Your A/C is out of refrigerant. recharge it to repair the problem.
