Hi, I assume this is a split system, with the indoor and outdoor unit. If you are talking about the fan on the outdoor unit, this is the condenser fan motor. It is exposed to the heat of the ambient temp. and removing the heat from indoors. If you have a heat pump, this motor runs year around and gets a lot of use. I have seen the 5mfd run capacitor fail which could cause this motor not to start, but more than likely the condenser fan motor has burned out.If it is the outdoor unit you are talking about, can you hear the compressor come on when you start it? You may stand by the unit and have someone turn the t-stat to cool and see if you hear it come on. It will shut off after awhile due to high head pressure. But, if nothing happens, you may not be getting power from the breaker being tripped or a blown fuse at the disconnect box at the unit.Check these before calling out a tech.If you are talking about the indoor fan, make sure the panels are on good if its a gas unit as there is a door switch that is closed and if the panel is loose, it will stop the fan from coming on. The indoor blower motor may also be burned out. It shouldn't take more then an hour at the most to find out what is causing this problem. Could be a fan relay. I would recommend calling a qualified a/c Co. to come out and check this. Wish I was there and could be of more help.
Good Luck, Sincerely, Shastalaker7
