maybe
It would be nice if it was as simple as changing the batteries.
The controllers say some really wierd shite when they are running low

Sounds more like an automatic
Sounds more like an automatic fault message indicating some other problem.
Is the controller hard-wired or remote ?
Did you replace the motor yourself ?
If so, check all connectons are correct etc
eg. if it detects that the water pump or some other component is not working or connected properly it will typically display a service message.
I replaced the fan motor & water pump on ours at the start of last summer all OK.
Timing & expense was a real piss-off considering it was a replacement of the main components & we're demolishing the house next month to subdivide & build.
Saved a pile by doing it myself.
It'll be up for sale in about a month if you can't get yours going !

Not sure About capacitor
Hi,
The controller is hard wired in the house, so does not need new batteries. I am not sure about the start capacitor?
I had a aircon guy come out he said the motor is gone, might a also be the controller? Might have to get someone out, but don't want to ripped off.

Unless you are licensed as
Unless you are licensed as an electrician I wouldnt attempt repairing yourself.
seems very odd that if you just replaced the motor that it would be dead already.
If its not working in auto you can remove the a couple of the filters and have someone manually start the water pump. You should have water trickling down from where the top of the filters would be. Once sufficient water has soaked the remaining filters get someone to start the fan. Obviously the fan should turn. most common with neglected evaps is the belts come off or snap. You will see the motor spinning and humming but the fan will be stationary. Below are things that have happened to my evap of the years back in perth.
If nothing happens at the start
- the control fuse could be blown(happened to mine in perth)
If the air is hot
- Rooted water Pump
- Rooted solenoid
if no air is blowing in
- Fan belt(s) might be snapped or come off(most common failure mode)
- Motor seized due to failed bearings(highly unlikely if its new)
- Thermal overload might need resetting.
Hope that helps but yeah i wouldnt advise playing with wires connecting/reconnecting if you arent a sparky. against the law hey.

Aircon motor
Just to clarify, I did not mean the motor was dead already. Just that was the first thing I have tried since the electrician came out, he said I could replace the motor myself. He said it could also be the control box but that is another $500, and that is without any electrician coming out.
