To make your central air conditioner work, there are dozens of components operating in harmony. Since working parts function continuously, they eventually wear. Some of these repairs can be avoided or stopped with the help of a professional maintenance. We at New York Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing would like to share the basics on the central air conditioner fans. In order to release heat from your home one fan is located in the outside unit that blows over condenser coils and other is in the inside unit that blows cool air for your home with a total of fans in the central air conditioning system. The home cannot be cooled efficiently should either of these fans become inoperable. There are several reasons as to why the fans may not be working.
Why Would Your Air Conditioning Fan Stop Working?
Bad AC Contactor. In order to control the compressor as well as the condenser fan motor is an air conditioner’s contactor, the electricity flows in and out. It is common for the contactor to wear down over as the outside unit’s fan is restricted and does not function properly. Hire a licensed pro to get the contractor replaced safely and easily.
Burned Out AC Motor. Particularly being prone to wear and tear, fans can burn out when they undergo too much stress. When the air conditioning unit is not properly maintained, they are even more vulnerable to excessive wear. A bad fan motor is a more serious issue that will either require professional repairs or a system replacement., depending on the age and condition of your system.
Filthy Air Filters. If your air filter is severely clogged and your indoor fan is working properly, the air that it blows will be completely blocked. Especially if it sounds like your fan is working but you don’t feel any air in your home check your air filter and replace it if it’s dirty.

Should the various parts of your air conditioner can overheat and trip your circuit breaker, the conditioner can be forced to shut down. The underlying cause as you can flip the switch at your circuit breaker back if it continues to occur when a professional inspects the unit.
Failing AC Capacitor. The capacitor stores up energy that is used to provide power to your air conditioners. It will then force one of your system’s fans to stop spinning for quite a few reasons when your capacitor can go bad and stop working properly. In most cases, a bad capacitor will need a professional replacement.
Loose or Broken AC Belt. The fan to stop spinning properly in older systems with belt-powered fan from the belt can get loose or break. In order since you likely have an older, less efficient unit where this issue can be repaired, it can also be an indication that a new air conditioning unit.
