Why does my condenser fan keep shutting off?
Short Cycling Condenser Fan or Condenser fan runs but keeps tripping its thermal overload switch and thus keeps shutting off. Typically this is caused by an internal short in the motor windings. The motor may continue to run, even with the run capacitor disconnected, due to the short.
Why does my condenser fan stop running after turning off the AC?
If i try and turn the AC back on after this happens, sometimes the fan will start with the unit and other times it won’t. If I wait until way later (hours), the fan will start with the unit and run another 20-25m before turning off (while the unit is still running).
How can I tell if my condenser fan is running?
in SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONERS & HEAT PUMPS designs may mount the fan in a vertical position blowing out of the side of the compressor unit rather than out of the compressor top shown in our sketch. If the condenser fan is running you will see the fan blade spinning at speed (typically at 1725 rpm) and you will feel air blowing out of the unit.
What does a fan on a condenser unit do?
The condenser unit fan is a blower that moves outdoor air across the condensing coil found in the outdoor compressor/condenser unit.
What to do if your blower fan stops running?

What should I do if my air conditioner is not shutting off?
Check the fan settings on your thermostat – the toggle should be in the AUTO position so that the fan only runs while the air conditioner is on. If the thermostat fan setting is ON, move it to AUTO – with the temperature set above the current room temperature, the thermostat should tell the air conditioner to shut off as well as the fan.
Is it normal for an air conditioner fan to keep running?
The first thing you need to realize is that it’s perfectly normal for your HVAC system fan to continue to run for a few minutes after the air condition stops. However, if the fan runs by itself for more than a couple minutes, then you know there’s an issue.
How does the condenser fan in a refrigerator work?
A refrigerator has a number of working parts that are continually in motion, ranging from air compression units to the refrigeration pump, coolant circulation and more. The condenser fan is part of the motor which helps keep it cool by taking the hot air from working parts and pushing it out…
