Why does your fan motor once in a while runs atfer the compressor shuts off?

The fan motor may continue to run after the compressor shuts off to ensure that any residual heat is dissipated from the condenser coils, enhancing overall system efficiency and preventing overheating. This is a normal operation in many HVAC systems designed to optimize performance and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. Additionally, the fan helps circulate air throughout the space, promoting even cooling. If the fan runs for an extended period, it may indicate a potential issue with the thermostat or control system.
