Possible Causes
Failed fan motor, Faulty fan capacitor, Obstruction preventing fan rotation, Loose fan motor wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off power if the compressor runs without the fan; this can damage the system.
- Check for obstructions: With power off, inspect the fan area for debris or ice blocking movement. Remove any obstruction.
- Spin test: Try to rotate the fan blade by hand. If it is stiff or seized, the motor likely needs replacement.
- Inspect capacitor: On models with a separate fan capacitor, look for bulging or leaking. Replace with the same microfarad rating and voltage.
- Verify wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is fully seated on the control board or terminal block.
- Replace motor: If the fan still does not start, replace the fan motor assembly with a SPRSUN-compatible part.
