Will car AC fan run if compressor is bad?
The A/C fan for the condenser will not come on if the A/C compressor does not come on. The fan will only come on when the pressure of the A/C system is detected.
Why is my AC compressor not working but the fan is running?
When the fan is running but the AC compressor isn’t there’s a good chance that electrical power isn’t reaching the outside unit where the compressor is located – and since the inside unit has power, the fan is still operating. First, check the circuit breaker to see if it has tripped or if there’s a blown fuse.
How are fans, blowers, and compressors related?
You might wonder how a pump relates to fans, blowers, and compressors. Well, a pump is a device that works on a liquid instead of a gas, raising the pressure of the liquid. Pumps generally do not have the refined breakdown in pressure ratio (head rise) that fans, blowers, and compressors do for gas applications.
What to do if your AC fan won’t start?
Turn off the A/C unit and call in an HVAC technician to replace the capacitor as soon as possible. This is a quick and simple repair for a professional. If you leave the unit running, the fan motor will keep attempting and failing to start.
What happens if my heat pump fan is not working?
One purpose of the fan is to cool the compressor. With the heat pump fan not working, the compressor can overheat and be damaged – and that will increase your repair bill by $1,250 to $2,000 plus. If that happens, your heat pump might be “totaled.”

Why is my blower fan motor not working?
Check for a fan blade hitting an obstruction in the unit; possible failing blower fan motor. If the fan itself is balanced and undamaged and secured to the shaft and the fan motor buzzes or hums the motor may be damaged, overheated, have an internal bearing failure, or the motor may be hard starting.
What happens when a condenser fan is not working?
at BURNED-OUT COMPRESSOR, if the condensing unit fan is not working the compressor itself may shut down or even be ruined by overpressure or over temperature.
