Possible Causes
Failed outdoor fan motor, Faulty fan capacitor (on AC motor models), Loose wiring to fan motor, Defective outdoor PCB fan relay or driver
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Danger: Outdoor units contain live high-voltage parts. Turn off power before working.
- 1. Visual check: Confirm that the compressor is running (vibration, sound) while the fan is stopped.
- 2. Inspect fan area: Look for obstructions preventing the fan from turning.
- 3. Spin test: With power off, spin the fan blade by hand. If stiff, the motor is likely faulty.
- 4. Check wiring and capacitor: Open the control box and verify that the fan motor wires and capacitor (if present) are intact and connected.
- 5. Replace motor or capacitor: If the capacitor is swollen, replace it. If the motor still does not run, replace the outdoor fan motor.
