I've always been fascinated by automotive brand histories. BMW actually stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke, which translates to Bavarian Motor Works in English. Founded in 1916 in Bavaria, Germany, it originally specialized in aircraft engines - the blue-and-white propeller in the logo symbolizes this heritage. Due to post-WWI Versailles Treaty restrictions, they transitioned to manufacturing motorcycles and cars, launching their first motorcycle in 1923 and acquiring a factory to begin automobile production in 1928. Today, BMW still emphasizes this engineering legacy, with precise and fluid driving dynamics that reflect the technological evolution from aviation to automotive, allowing drivers to consistently experience both historical gravitas and reliable performance.

Why is the condenser fan not working?

The reasons for the condenser fan not working include insufficient power supply voltage that does not meet the air conditioning startup voltage requirements, burnt-out fan capacitor, or open circuit in the fan coil. The condenser is a component of the air conditioning system that quickly transfers heat from the tubes to the surrounding air. In most cars, it is located in front of the radiator. It is a device that converts gas or vapor into liquid. Below are common faults causing the car condenser fan to stop working: 1. The system lacks refrigerant or the pressure is too high, preventing the compressor from starting. 2. Faulty defrost switch, causing the air conditioning to stop blowing air after a while and then resume after a pause. 3. Moisture in the refrigerant, leading to alternating cold and hot air without changes in airflow volume. 4. Poor condenser ventilation, preventing the compressor from operating normally, while the fan runs at high speed. 5. The air conditioning system has been inactive for a long time, causing the refrigeration oil to settle and gaseous refrigerant to corrode the pipelines, resulting in system leaks.
