My car has only one radiator for both function for the engine and air conditioning and I would like to know in case the air conditioning does not feel cool but has Freon. How I know if there the fan is bad?

The best way to check the fan is to turn on the air conditioner and wait about 2 minutes, the cooling fan should come on. If not, I would check for power at the fan and also test the ground which this guide can help you with. Also check the fuses under the hood.

Here are the cooling fan wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which fuses to check. Also, I have included how to change the radiator fan out in case you need it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I check if the fan turns on after I turning the A/C on, then I went to check the radiator and the fan turn on about less than 30 seconds.

Also, I bought it a thermometer to see the minimal Fahrenheit and got at 60 degrees.
