The condenser fan motor “getting stuck” most likely is the defrost cycle…did say it was otherwise working fine

I would check the defrost, if it's not coming on ice will build up, cuts off, ice melt, pieces hit the fan.

Replaced 5-6 of the ecm condensing fan motors on the newer rheem rhuud units . Fans get noisey, shut off and head pressure sky rockets . 24 volts coming off contactor and high voltage present so fan should never shut off but they do, replace the fans and haven't heard back from customers since. They were all less then 1 yr old too

the blower motor might be cutting out when blower quits,HPS in and out maybe.usually noise complains.

You gotta put a plenum on that return side even if its a 3" or 4" can so that you get good air volume into that coil. Possibly more return air if return duct size is too small.

you need to go back to the veto black out better than that top loading one just my humble opinion keep up the good work

VETO PRO PAC warrants that its merchandise will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years after retail purchase, exclusive of ordinary wear and tear. This warranty extends ONLY to the original owner and is only valid if your bag was purchased from an authorized Veto Pro Pac dealer.

my first thought was that she was hearing the compressing when it went into defrost where are you from and what was the temp like there? that return looks very small but not sure what size the unit is

whoever installed that system, should enlarge return to at least 14. inch within proper plenum. I been doing service work for almost 15 years here in Tampa bay. Seen so Many installs with undersized ductwork. Fix the return and check static also. Possible noise during a defrost maybe?
