Goodman Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
If your Goodman central air conditioner's condenser fan is not running or spinning, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A bulging or leaking capacitor can make the AC fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep the outdoor fan from starting. Next, check the motor control board, which can prevent the motor from running or maintaining the correct speed. If the board and capacitor are sound, the fan motor itself may have failed. A defective motor or condenser fan motor can be confirmed by testing for incoming voltage, but testing and replacing these parts involves dangerous 240-volt line voltage. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker, and do not work inside the outdoor condensing unit unless you understand electrical safety or use a qualified HVAC technician. For condenser fan troubleshooting, inspect the capacitor first, then test the motor and control board. Enter your Goodman central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, fan motor, or condenser fan motor for your unit.
