The condenser fan motor is connected in
parallel with the compressor. If the com-
pressor runs but the motor doesn't, the
motor is either defective or disconnected.
If neither operates, check the cold control,
defrost timer, and the cabinet wiring.
To Check The Condenser Motor
Direct
1. Disconnect the unit from the power
source.
2. Remove the insulated cover from the

tor with your thumb inserted between the
