Frigidaire Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
When the condenser fan is not running, your Frigidaire central air conditioner may stop cooling properly or shut down because the outdoor unit cannot release heat. The most likely cause is a failed run capacitor, especially if it is bulging or leaking. A defective motor control board is another possibility, followed by a failed fan motor or condenser fan motor. A separate capacitor can also cause the outdoor AC fan to stop spinning, run slowly, overheat, or make noise. This condenser fan troubleshooting process starts with inspecting the capacitor, then testing whether the fan motor receives the correct voltage. If proper voltage reaches the motor and the capacitor is good, replace the faulty fan motor or condenser fan motor. Replacing a capacitor may be a manageable DIY repair, but testing or replacing parts inside the condensing unit involves 240V line voltage and should be handled only if you are qualified to work safely around energized HVAC equipment. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before service. Enter your Frigidaire central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your unit.
01 - Frigidaire 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.

Common
02 - Frigidaire 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.
Common
03 - Frigidaire 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.
Common
04 - Frigidaire Central Air Conditioner Motor
To determine if the condenser motor is working, use a multimeter to test the incoming voltage to the motor. If the condenser 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 condenser fan motor.

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

06 - Frigidaire Central Air Conditioner Condenser Fan Motor
To determine if the condenser motor is working, use a multimeter to test the incoming voltage to the motor. If the condenser 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 condenser fan motor.
