ICP Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
If your ICP central air conditioner's condenser fan is not running, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A defective capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep the outdoor AC fan from spinning. Next, check the motor control board, which can prevent the motor from running at the proper speed or at all. The fan motor itself is another common cause, followed by the condenser motor and capacitor. If the condenser fan motor receives the correct voltage but does not run, the motor is likely defective after the capacitor has been ruled out. This condenser fan troubleshooting involves the run capacitor, motor control board, fan motor, and condenser fan motor. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting parts. Testing for 240V line voltage or replacing electrical components inside the condensing unit can be dangerous, so hire a qualified HVAC technician if you are not trained to work safely with high voltage. Enter your ICP central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement condenser fan motor, capacitor, or control board for your system.
01 - ICP 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 - ICP 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.
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.
