A condenser fan motor is a vital component of the condenser that greatly affects the overall performance of your HVAC system. Without professional maintenance, the fan motor may wear over time, resulting in poor airflow and completely uncomfortable indoor environment. To make the most of your heating and cooling system, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with its functions.

How Does it Work?
While the condenser unit works to cool the air conditioner while it’s running, the fan motor functions to blow the air through the condenser coils to convert hot, refrigerant gas into a cool liquid. As the fan blades turn, your air conditioning unit will continue to blow cool air in the entire house. Thus, it is important to maintain the fan motor to keep up the cooling process. Plus, a well-maintain fan motor can prolong the lifespan of your A/C unit.
Cause of Overheating
When the fan motor overheats, the cause might be any of the following reasons.
- Incorrectly sized fan blades
- Reduced airflow
- Bad motor
- Poorly maintained unit
- Wrongly sized motor
