Arcoaire Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
When your Arcoaire central air conditioner's outdoor condenser fan motor is not running or spinning, the run capacitor is the most likely cause. A failed capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, overheat, or stop completely; replace it if it is bulging or leaking. Next, check the motor control board, which regulates motor speed and may prevent the fan motor from running. If the board is operating correctly, the condenser fan motor may have failed. A defective capacitor can cause similar symptoms, so inspect it before replacing the motor. The condenser fan motor is a less common cause, but it should be replaced if it receives the correct voltage and the capacitor is good. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting parts. Testing for incoming voltage involves hazardous 240V line voltage and should be handled by a qualified HVAC technician unless you are trained and equipped to do so. This repair does not normally require refrigerant handling, but any sealed-system work requires an EPA 608-certified technician. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your Arcoaire unit.

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 - Arcoaire 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.
