A condenser can go bad due to several factors, including overheating, which can occur from inadequate airflow or a malfunctioning fan. Additionally, corrosion or physical damage can lead to refrigerant leaks, compromising its efficiency. Contaminants in the refrigerant or moisture can also cause internal damage, leading to poor performance or failure. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent these issues and extend the lifespan of the condenser.
