Fan on outside unit will not start on its own.

SOURCE: The outside unit is no0t able to start the fan

Hi!!
The part you need is called STARTING CAPACITOR and it is located in the same compartment where the electrical connectors are in the outside unit. MAKE SURE THE POWER BREAKER IS OFF before opening the compartment. and before working with the capacitor, touch both terminals with a screw driver to short them out and discharge the capacitor. Don't worry this is just a preventive measure and no sparks are going to be coming out of it. Once the capacitor is discharged, take a picture of the wiring and label them before disconnecting the wires. Remove capacitor and take to an appliance parts store to get a new one.
HERE IS A PIC. OF HOW A CAPACITOR LOOKS LIKE



Good Luck!! A HELPFUL - 4 THUMBS - rating for this solution would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hello, It sounds to me like your low on freon/refrigerant. You'll need to have someone test the pressures for you.

SOURCE: Inverter unit fan and compressor wont run.

Sir/Maam,, Just Call or visit directly to your nearest service center, Thanx......

SOURCE: UNIT RUN FOR APPROX 1HR. THEN OUTSIDE FAN STOPS

whats going on is your outdoor fan motor is over amping itself and causing it to go into heat overload shutting down the fan. It needs to be replaced

SOURCE: Amana Cooling Condensing Unit fan won't kick on

be aware that not repairing this asap that you are causing yourself more problems First I would change out the fan capacitor and see if this could be the problem. Secondly if the capacitor isn,t the problem change out the motor . By continuing to allow the system to cycle like this the compressor will take a dive on you costing more . Good Luck

Testimonial: "Yes, it's dual run capacitor problem. I used a stick to spin the fan blades and it starts to slowly spin and up to normal speed, so motor is good."
