Hello everyone and welcome. Today we’re going to be talking about the condenser fan motor, where it’s located, what it does, and how to troubleshoot it, and also how to exchange one or change it out for a rescue motor. Now, the condenser fan motor is located at the top of the condenser. And what it helps do is cool down the compressor. It helps it from overheating, and it gets the indoor hot air and brings it outside to the ambient air in the outdoors. So, it has three blades,

typically three or four blades, and it also cools down and runs air over the evaporator coils to change the refrigerant from a liquid from a vapor to a liquid. Sorry, excuse me. And to test it, you come over to the capacitor and get your readings of the capacitor to see the amperage that it’s providing through these wires here. It’s also controlled through the defrost board. This doohickey here really tells it when to turn on and off when it’s necessary in the refrigeration cycle.

That’s our condenser fan motor. Thank you everybody for tuning in today.
