Why Does My Condenser Keep Running?
Cause #2: Dirty evaporator and/or condenser coil
The same goes for dirt buildup on an outside unit's condenser coils. A dirty condenser can block the release of absorbed heat from the refrigerant. Basically, both issues will cause your system to run constantly since it's struggling to remove heat from your home.

Also asked, why does my outside AC unit keep running?

Dirty evaporator and/or condenser coil The evaporator coil in the inside unit absorbs heat from your air. The condenser coil in the outside unit disperses that heat outside. In either scenario, your air conditioner will run constantly since it's struggling to absorb heat from your home and/or release heat outside.

Also Know, why does my condenser fan stop running? A slow condenser fan (or air handler unit fan) could be caused by a bad start-run capacitor. Unfortunately this condition could indicate a burned-out A/C or heat pump compressor motor. This can leave the fan motor running. A bad fan motor can also cause the fan to turn but only abnormally slowly.

Besides, why does condenser fan run all the time?

Thermostat Issues A common reason a condenser fan is continually running within a refrigerator is the thermostat. This sensor takes readings from the refrigerator (and freezer if you have one) and flips the cooling system on when it sees the temperature isn't where it needs to be.
