Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing the fan area. Keep fingers clear of blades when testing.

Check airflow: Ensure the rear and sides of the unit are not blocked. Poor airflow can overheat the fan and electronics.
Access the fan: Remove the rear or bottom panel to expose the condenser fan motor and blades.
Inspect for obstructions: Remove dust, plastic packing material, or ice that may be blocking the fan. Spin the blades by hand; they should rotate freely without scraping.
Check wiring: Confirm the fan motor connector is fully seated on the control board and that wires are not pinched or damaged.
Test operation: Plug in the unit briefly with the panel still off and observe whether the fan starts when the compressor runs. Unplug again before touching anything.
If fan does not run: Replace the condenser fan motor. If a new fan still does not run, the control board’s fan circuit is likely faulty and the board may need replacement.
