A condenser fan may run in reverse due to issues such as a faulty fan motor, incorrect wiring, or a malfunctioning control system. Additionally, if the fan is connected to a variable-speed drive, incorrect settings could cause it to operate in reverse. This can lead to inadequate cooling and potential damage to the system. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent such issues.
