Yikes! Without the operation of the condenser fan, your compressor is not long for his world. The fan draws air past the condenser coils and reduces heat from the refrigerant gas before it goes to the compressor to be converted into a liquid. Without the air movement, the compressor will eventually overheat and either shut off from a sensor or fry.
You either have a bad fan motor, or capacitor, or both. Best to call a sevice tech right away. Shut down the unit ! A little sweat is preferrable to a fried compressor!

once you assert condensor, do you mean the outdoors unit?? while you're checking the evaporator on the interior the closet or attic then it somewhat is doing what it replaced into designed to do?? now if the outdoors unit is blowing cool air then curiously the unit must be froze via low refrig. or the compressor isn't working. if the compressor isnt working then its the two the starter windings are undesirable or the initiating capacitor is shot??? is likewise that this a warmth pump?? if so determine you have the t-stat set to kick back and not warmth. interior the warmth mode a warmth pumps outdoors unit actual turns into the evaporator and the indoor unit turns into the condensor via a three-way valve reversing the pass of freon. if the probelm is electric powered my advice is to pay somebody to troubleshoot! engaged on 240volts is risky and stupid for a amateur!!

If it's an older unit the capacitor that helps the fan motor start is prolly bad.
