Troubleshooting the central air conditioner compressor?
As in most of the country, it was terribly hot and humid in the semi-desert today. The air conditioner was working fine at the beginning of the day, and later in the afternoon, it wasn't blowing cold air. So I hope to solve this problem before I call the HVAC staff.
I never hear the compressor turn on, but the fan is running. Inside my device, I have a single trigger capacitor. When I watch the video and instructions for replacing the air conditioner condenser, it seems that if one unit fails, both the fan and the compressor stop. Since my fan is running but there is no compressor, can the condenser still be bad or do I have another problem?
