Possible Causes

Failed condenser fan motor, Obstruction preventing fan rotation, Loose or burnt fan connector, Faulty fan control on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before working at the rear.

  • Inspect fan: Remove the rear panel and check if the fan spins freely by hand. Remove any debris.
  • Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is secure and wires are intact.
  • Test motor: Measure resistance across the motor terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed motor.
  • Replace fan: Install a Balay-compatible condenser fan motor if defective.
  • Control board: If the motor is good but never receives power when the compressor runs, the PCB may need replacement.
