If you step outside and see that big fan that sits directly on top or on the side of the condensing unit, the fan motor is what makes it spin! 🙂 The fans run whenever the AC compressor runs and draws cool air through the small fins surrounding the copper tubing in the condensing unit. The air is then circulated drawn over the compressor and then back out the front grille. This circulations helps to dissipate the heat from the freon, cool the compressor and the refrigerant within the condenser coils.

In most cases, once you buy a condenser fan motor and put it into your ac unit, you cannot replace it.
