Miller Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
Is your Miller central air conditioner's condenser fan not running? The outdoor unit may not cool properly and the compressor could overheat. The most likely cause is a failed run capacitor, which can make the condenser fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep it from starting. Next, check the motor control board, followed by the fan motor itself. A defective motor can receive power and still fail to run. Other possible causes include a separate condenser motor, a faulty capacitor, or the condenser fan motor. This condenser fan troubleshooting process may involve a multimeter, but the outdoor unit contains dangerous 240-volt line voltage and charged capacitors. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting parts; voltage testing and electrical repairs are best handled by a qualified HVAC technician. No refrigerant handling is required for these checks, but any repair inside the sealed system requires an EPA 608-certified technician. Enter your Miller central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, motor control board, fan motor, or condenser fan motor for your unit.
01 - Miller 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 - Miller 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.
