The big fan in my Central airconditioner (out side unit) does not work?
Answers:
your outside unit is a separate entity from furnace fan motor. propably needs gas recharge. or worse, outside motor froze up and needs replaced. please call a service guy.

You may have to get a new compressor. If the unit is too small for the house of your size, you may want to consider getting a new unit all together.
Unless you truly wish to fix it yourself, the best way to deal with it is to call an authorized repair person for that brand of a/c.
Could be the bearing in the fan is broken. Call a repairman.
You will have to replace the motor. It is called the condensor fan motor. Call around and get prices on changing it out. Expect $200 to $400.
check to see if you have a fuse box on the outside, i have a fuse box and a dedicated circuit for the AC inside my basement, if the fuse/ breaker is ok, check at the fuse/breaker for current. if you have current but the fan still doesnt turn on, its probably time to call a heating/ cooling guy
Why do people who have no clue as to the answer post irrelevant info?
That's the Condenser Fan, you'll need to get a technician to fix it.
The fan has tripped. Maybe needs a new switch. The unit could have suffered from a fluctaution in power supply as well thus the condenser that is reponsible for cool air is affected. Please turn off your unit from the main switch the remote is not a switch for power supply. When you use the remote current is still in the unit. Its simply the condenser or the fan ......
I just had the same problem in my apartment.
The problem was that the "reversing valve" was stuck. This is a solenoid. The fan didn't come on because it's thermostat never warmed up enough to trip and switch it on.
I am assuming your unit is a air to air heat pump for both heating and cooling. If not it could also be your compressor or what is known as a expansion valve at fault.

So the condenser is running? You can hear it? But the fan does not?
Replace the fan for about $145 if you have not burned up the compressor. The fans are readily available as they often fail.
