York Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
If your York central air conditioner's condenser fan is not running, the outdoor AC fan may not be spinning even though the system has power. The most likely cause is a failed run capacitor, which can make the fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep it from starting. Next, check the motor control board, followed by the condenser fan motor itself. If the motor receives the correct power but will not run, the capacitor may be defective; if the capacitor is not bulging or leaking, the fan motor may need replacement. Less common causes include a separate motor or capacitor failure, then the condenser fan motor. This condenser fan troubleshooting involves electrical components, including potentially hazardous 240V power. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting the unit, and leave voltage testing or wiring repairs to a qualified technician. Do not handle refrigerant or open the sealed system, which requires EPA 608 certification. Enter your York central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your unit.
