The air conditioner includes a sensing unit for sensing a breakdown or an operation state of a motor. The state of the motor is sensed using a non-contact type sensor, whereby it is possible to easily monitor the states of a compressor and a fan motor without modifying conventional air conditioners, to sense the progress of the abnormality of the compressor and the fan motor or whether the compressor and the fan motor have broken down, and to estimate the expected lifespan of the compressor or the fan motor based on the state thereof using the monitored results. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the damage to the air conditioner due to abnormality of the compressor or the fan motor. |
