Yeah, I bought one to make sure that was the only problem. It just came back up so, now I’ll pull the furnace apart and find what size it uses for the blower keep them both on hand.
Then it certainly shouldn’t have failed yet so either high cycle rate or high draw.
Clean both coils and keep watch on how often it runs and how long it stays running for a couple weeks. Also if you still have a analog bimetallic thermostat those can fail and cause rapid cycling and if the compressor isn’t smart enough to delay they can cycle themselves to death.

They can blow on their own but chances are you have a junk contactor or a fan that draws too much amperage.
It’s also possible a critter shorted the contacts. Happens all the time in Florida. Usually the fried lizard is still there.
True enough.
3 year old unit :(

It’s on an ecobee which appears to be behaving, pulling data from homeassistant on emporia power, it seems to be pretty chill.
she’s 1.5 ton pulling 1300 watts while running which actually seems low to me.
