There could be other issues at play here.

If you are sure that the condenser fan works properly (tested the circuit and the fan already) then there is likely low high-side pressure. this would mean that the high-pressure of the fan switch would never be triggered. The pressure is something like 180 for the switch on 240s, but I'm not positive of that. Anyway, if the charge is low, it would explain some things. The compressor will usually be pretty warm while running.

However, if the pressostat has been bypassed and the comp is running with a too-low condition, it is not getting oiled properly and would definitely run very hot. Also that would not be good for the long haul with the compressor either. The first thing to do would be to check the pressostat and then check charge levels/pressures, so that you know what you're dealing with. From there, the answer will probably be a lot more obvious.

One thing I don't like to do is to contribute to a wild goose chase. That said, check the easiest things first, since a lot of A/C problems aren't related to major component failure... until they've been overlooked or worked around.
