Bryant Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
If your Bryant central air conditioner condenser fan is not running, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A defective capacitor can make the fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or prevent it from starting; replace it if it is bulging or leaking. Next, check the motor control board, which can keep the blower or fan motor from running at the proper speed. If the board and capacitor appear sound, the fan motor itself may have failed. A motor receiving the correct voltage but not running usually needs replacement. Less commonly, the separate condenser fan motor or capacitor is defective. This condenser fan troubleshooting involves testing voltage with a multimeter, so use caution: the outdoor condensing unit contains hazardous 240V line voltage. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker, and have a qualified HVAC technician handle energized testing or wiring if you are not trained. No refrigerant handling is required for this repair, but any sealed-system work requires an EPA 608-certified technician. Enter your Bryant model number to find the exact run capacitor, motor control board, fan motor, or condenser fan motor for your specific air conditioner.

Common
02 - Bryant 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 - Bryant 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 - Bryant 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 - Bryant 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.
