What happens when Air conditioner running but fan not turning?

There are several possible reasons why your air conditioner is running but the fan is not turning:

1. Fan Motor Failure: The fan motor may be defective or damaged, preventing it from spinning.

2. Faulty Relay: The relay that controls the fan motor may be faulty, preventing it from receiving power.

3. Thermostat Issue: The thermostat may be defective or set incorrectly, causing the fan to remain off.

4. Control Board Problem: The control board that manages the air conditioner's functions may be malfunctioning, leading to the fan not turning.

5. Loose Wiring: Wiring connections related to the fan may be loose or damaged, interrupting power supply to the fan motor.

6. Capacitor Failure: The capacitor that helps start the fan motor may be faulty, preventing the fan from starting and running.

7. Mechanical Obstruction: There may be an obstruction, such as dirt or debris, blocking the fan blades from spinning.

If you are not comfortable troubleshooting and resolving the issue yourself, it is recommended to contact a qualified HVAC technician to accurately diagnose and repair the problem. Some of these issues require professional expertise and could be unsafe to handle without proper knowledge and experience.
