The good thing is that the problem is regular and repeatable.
On top of the air handler unit inside is a small silver box, usually covered with a rubber bungie cord. The control circuit board is in there. I don't remember if there is a schematic on the cover of the box or not.
But I would start at the circuit board and find the voltage that runs the condenser fan. Hold the voltmeter leads on that until the fan quits. If you still have power to the fan from the control board then go to the outside unit.
Keep tracing the electricity path to the fan motor until you find where the fault is. I do not believe the fan motor has a thermal overload like the compressor does.
