Is your AC fan not spinning? If the fan of your air conditioner has stopped spinning, the fan may just be getting a little stiff. A simple solution is to try using a stick to tap the belt and make it move again. It may start up immediately and be just fine and dandy. If not, the issue is a little more serious.
Next, you should try to turn the air conditioner off and wait a little while before restarting it. Sometimes it could overheat and cause the fan belt to shut off. If your air conditioner fan does not start working after you turn the device back on, you should take some of the following steps.
The fan may not be getting power so you should go into the service panel on the side of the unit. You can use a multimeter to check and make sure that there is a continuous electrical path within the device. If there is power going to the fan then the issue is with the fan itself. You may want to replace the belt/fan so that the problem is rectified. If there is no electric signal reaching the fan, then something else is broken. You should make sure that everything is aligned properly and in the right position.
Another reason the fan may have stopped working is because the compressor has seized up. This could be the result of an oil leak. If so, it is a serious issue and you should shut the entire air conditioner off to stop further damage. Call a professional in this case. The motor could also be shot, so you should call a service man because the average person usually doesn’t know how to fix this .
