Why is my outside AC unit fan not working?

If you observe the AC condenser fan not spinning on your outdoor air conditioning unit, the problem is likely one of a few common things.

How does an outside AC compressor work?

The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant gas and sends the refrigerant into the outdoor unit’s condenser coil. A large fan pulls outdoor air through the condenser coil, allowing the air to absorb heating energy from the home and release it outside. During this process, the refrigerant is converted back to a liquid.
