Kelvinator Central Air Conditioner Condenser fan motor does not run
Is your Kelvinator central air conditioner condenser fan not running? The outdoor fan may be unable to remove heat, causing the system to shut down or blow warm air. The most likely cause is a failed run capacitor. A bulging or leaking capacitor should be replaced, but capacitors can hold a dangerous charge even after power is disconnected. Next, a defective motor control board can prevent the motor from running at the correct speed or at all. The fan motor is another common cause, followed by the condenser motor, a separate capacitor, or the condenser fan motor itself. A technician can use a multimeter to check whether the motor receives the correct voltage, then test the capacitor before replacing the motor. Because the condenser unit uses 240-volt line voltage, testing live wiring, the disconnect box, or the circuit is beyond most DIY repair work. Turn off power and have a qualified HVAC technician handle electrical diagnosis. This problem usually does not require refrigerant work, but any repair inside the sealed system requires an EPA 608-certified technician. Enter your Kelvinator model number to find the exact replacement run capacitor, fan motor, motor control board, or condenser fan motor for your central air conditioner.
01 - Kelvinator 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.

Common
02 - Kelvinator 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.
Common
03 - Kelvinator 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.
Common
04 - Kelvinator 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.
Common
05 - Kelvinator 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.
Common
06 - Kelvinator 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.
