Garrison Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
When your Garrison central air conditioner's condenser fan is not running, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A bulging or leaking capacitor can make the condenser fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep it from starting. Next, a defective motor control board can prevent the motor from operating correctly, followed by a failed fan motor or condenser fan motor. A separate capacitor may also be at fault. This condenser fan troubleshooting process can help identify whether the outdoor AC fan is not spinning because the motor lacks power or the motor itself has failed. Testing voltage at the motor requires working around 240V line voltage, so have a qualified HVAC technician handle live electrical testing, wiring, the disconnect box, and circuit breaker. Turn off power before inspecting parts, and do not handle refrigerant or open the sealed system unless you are EPA 608 certified. Enter your Garrison central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your unit.
01 - Garrison 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 - Garrison 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.
