fan motor
Cooling device engine
A fan motor is the electric motor that drives a fan's blades, converting electrical energy into rotational motion.
Found in everything from ceiling fans to HVAC systems to computer cooling units, the fan motor is typically the component most likely to fail: The technician replaced the fan motor in the air conditioner.
When a fan hums but doesn't spin, the motor is usually the culprit.
