Breaker trips when outdoor fan starts
Occasionally the electrical breaker for the outdoor unit will trip upon start up. Once started it doesn't trip it. It is an older unit. Is there some sort of maintenance or lubrication necessary. I have never done anything to the unit.
Thanks

Sometimes a breaker will get over sensitive especially if it has tripped several times before. Might be worth trying to replace the breaker and see what happens. Just make sure it's rated at the same amps as the origional
