Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the necessary phase shift for the motor's auxiliary winding to create a rotating magnetic field. If the capacitance drops, the motor struggles to maintain synchronization with the AC frequency, leading to increased electromagnetic slip and excessive heat generation. This part is the most frequent point of failure in overheating condenser motors.

Condenser Fan Motor
Internal bearing failure or winding insulation breakdown can cause the motor to operate at high temperatures. If the internal bearings lose their lubricant, the resulting mechanical friction converts electrical energy into heat. Eventually, the internal thermal overload switch will trip to prevent a fire.

AC Contactor
Pitted or carbon-fouled contacts on the compressor contactor can lead to a significant voltage drop across the poles. Low voltage at the motor terminals forces the motor to draw higher amperage to meet the torque demands of the fan blades, resulting in overheating of the copper windings.
