Maytag Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
When your Maytag central air conditioner has a condenser fan not running, the run capacitor is the most likely cause. A failed capacitor can make the fan motor noisy, cause it to overheat, or keep it from starting; replace it if it is bulging or leaking. Next, check the motor control board, which can prevent the blower or fan motor from running at the correct speed. A technician can use a multimeter to verify whether the condenser fan motor receives the correct voltage. If voltage is present and the capacitor is good, the motor likely needs replacement. Turn off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker before inspecting parts. Testing or repairing 240V wiring is not a beginner DIY repair, so have a qualified HVAC technician handle live-voltage diagnosis or electrical work. This problem does not normally require refrigerant handling, but any sealed-system repair does require EPA 608 certification. Enter your Maytag model number to find the exact run capacitor, motor control board, or condenser fan motor for your central air conditioner.
