Can you tell me how to reverse the direction of the fan?  Or, is it possible to install the blades backwards on the fan?

The motors rotation can not be reversed ( in this case) & the fan blades "pitch" ( or the angle of the blades in regards to it's rotation) is matched to the motors rotation, so if you try to reverse the blades, it will just "bat" the air around & very little will actually be drawn in the correct direction. ( which as stated in the last post, the air should be drawn/pulled through the condensers fins & blown back over the compressor.

"Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan.
