Condenser Fan Motor

What does a Condenser Fan Motor Do?

The A/C condenser fan motor is part of your vehicle's A/C system. The condenser fan is responsible for keeping the A/C condenser cool, allowing it to condense refrigerant gas into a liquid before it reaches the expansion device. The condenser fan motor powers the condenser fan, helping to keep the condenser from overheating and ensuring consistent airflow when the vehicle is at idle or when additional cooling capacity is needed. Over time, the condenser fan motor may wear out from use or be damaged in an accident, or the fuse, connector, or other electrical system components may suffer damage that prevent the fan from operating. Without a working condenser fan, your car's A/C system may not work as well as it should, and you may notice warm air from the vehicle's vent. If Before replacing your condenser fan motor, it is a good idea to also check wires, connectors, fuses, and relays to find the cause of the problem.
