Amana Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run

When your Amana central air conditioner has a condenser fan not running, start with the run capacitor, the most common cause. A failed capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep it from starting; replace it if it is bulging or leaking. Next, check the motor control board, which can prevent the motor from running at the proper speed or at all. If the board is working, the fan motor may be receiving power but still unable to run. A multimeter test can confirm whether the motor receives the correct voltage, but the outdoor condensing unit contains hazardous 240V line voltage. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker, and hire a qualified technician for live-voltage testing or any repair beyond your electrical skill level. These repairs do not normally require refrigerant handling, but sealed-system work does require EPA 608 certification. Enter your Amana model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your central air conditioner.

01 - Amana Central Air Conditioner Run Capacitor

If the run capacitor is defective, the fan motor might be noisy, overheat, or not run at all. To determine if the run capacitor has failed, inspect the capacitor. If the run capacitor is bulging or leaking, replace it.

02 - Amana Central Air Conditioner Motor Control Board

The motor control board helps to maintain the desired motor speed of the blower. When the motor control board fails, the blower motor may not run at the correct speed or it may not run at all.

03 - Amana Central Air Conditioner Fan Motor

To determine if the fan motor is working, use a multimeter to test the incoming voltage to the motor. If the fan motor is receiving the correct voltage but the motor still won’t run, inspect the capacitor to ensure that it is not at fault. If the capacitor is not bulging or leaking, replace the fan motor.
