Medallion Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run

If the Medallion central air conditioner has an outdoor condenser fan motor that is not running or spinning, the most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A bulging or leaking capacitor can make the fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or prevent it from starting. Next, check the motor control board, which can keep the motor from running at the correct speed or at all. If the capacitor and control board are sound, the fan motor or condenser fan motor may have failed. Less common causes include a separate motor or capacitor problem. A multimeter test can confirm whether the condenser fan motor is receiving the correct voltage, but the outdoor condensing unit contains dangerous 240-volt wiring. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting parts, and have a licensed HVAC technician perform energized voltage testing or repairs beyond your comfort level. This repair does not normally require refrigerant handling unless the sealed system is opened. Enter your Medallion model number to find the exact run capacitor, motor control board, capacitor, or condenser fan motor for your central air conditioner.

01 - Medallion 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 - Medallion 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.

03 - Medallion 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.

04 - Medallion 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 - Medallion 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.

06 - Medallion Central Air Conditioner Condenser Fan 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.
