The outside unit may not be running when the heat is on due to a malfunction in the system, such as a faulty thermostat, a tripped circuit breaker, or a problem with the compressor. It is important to have a professional HVAC technician inspect and repair the unit to ensure proper functioning.
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
The heat pump outside unit may not be running due to issues such as a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is important to troubleshoot and address these potential problems to restore the unit's functionality.

Yes, the outside unit of a heat pump system is supposed to run when the heat is on.
Yes, the outside unit of a heating system typically runs when the heat is on to help transfer heat from the outside air to the inside of the building.
If you are running a window unit in a closed room, you will actually heat the room up. The unit needs to be able to "move" the heat to the outside air.
The outdoor unit only runs in the AC mode(unless it is a heat pump). If you have the system off and the fan on, the outdoor unit should not be on. You can run the indoor fan only without harming the system.
It will not work, the ac unit needs to blow the heat removed from indoors to outdoors. Running a window ac unit without venting it outside will make the room hotter.
Regular maintenance for an outside heat pump unit includes cleaning or replacing filters, clearing debris around the unit, checking refrigerant levels, and scheduling professional inspections at least once a year.
the compressor is not running. Check your breakers.
outside in the dying heat.. running outside when it is really hot out.. not drinking enough water
If your air conditioner is running outside by not blowing cold air inside through your vent, your indoor coil is frozen. You will need to turn everything off and allow the unit to thaw out.
