A few things are a factor. First thing i would do is check power to the unit. If power is there then I would check the contactor. If that is working OK then check the capacitor and see if it is bubbled up on top, what i mean is it should be flat and if its a dome shape its no good. The fan could be burnt out and locked up.

Why does ac condenser fan not run when car is idling?

The condenser fan is more likely to run when the car is idling. So if it NEVER comes on when idling you definitely have a problem. If the condenser is not cooled, then your compressor could get overloaded. It may be a problem with a relay that is preventing the fan from running - or some other issue.

Are you sure it is the condenser fan that continues to run? It is not uncommon for the radiator cooling system fan to continue to operate after you shut down, due to the fact that the coolant in the radiator is still hot. It is designed this way. Check to make sure you are referring to the correct fan.
