Earlier today my condensing fan worked fine. When I got home on the outside unit the condensor was running but the fan wasnt and the unit was pretty hot and I'm pretty sure it wasn't frorm the sun because the sun usually stops hitting it about 2.5 hrs. from when i noticed this. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well first, you need to determine if you have a bad fan motor or just a capacitor. Are you sure the compressor is running? very CAREFULLY take a long stick and give the blade a spin, if the fan starts running , you have a bad capacitor, if not, the motor may be bad, depending on how familiar you are with electricity, you may be able to troubleshoot the problem yourself.
