However, many air conditioning problems are not difficult to identify and fix personally. The following tips will help you solve several problems with outdoor fan motor block, condenser and contactor. Before we begin to review the faults, you must understand that an air conditioner is a very complex piece of equipment that requires regular maintenance and careful handling. Troubleshooting when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner does not work. You need to start with simple steps:
Make sure the thermostat is set to the necessary option.
Make sure the indoor unit is working (blowing air from the ventilation holes).
Listen to the outdoor unit for any sound when the compressor is running.
If you heard something, check whether the compressors work quietly. Compressor operation must be not audible.
It happens that the compressor is running, but the fan motor does not rotate. The correct process of work occurs only at 220 volts of voltage. Power is supplied to the outdoor unit and the contractor supplies current to the compressor and motor. Be sure to check the voltage. Capacitors can store an electrical charge like a battery. Check that the current is turned off and release the capacitor by short-circuiting between the capacitor terminals (with an insulated screwdriver) to remove the wires from the terminals later. Don’t hesitate to arrange for the assistant's help to deal with the situation.
