A FINE day it is

[turkeyrun]

A/C quit, last night. Outside unit dead. Got power, inside fan and thermostat working fine, but outside compressor and fan, nothing.

Can't get a service man out until "sometime" tomorrow

Looks like I will be "camping:. RV may just sit most days, just times are, it is much needed and appreciated.

Been looking at a new truck, guess that is on hold for a while. Good thing, I don't think my blood pressure can take much more dealing with car salesmen. Have I ever mentioned, "I hate car salesmen."

Did you check the fuses?
Breaker?
I assume you did.

I had my AC go out and I went to the store and bought a $119 window unit.
That did the trick until I was able to get a buddy to drop off a new unit.

Could just be the capacitor. Those are known to go out frequently. Cheap and easy to replace. I’d start there.

Replace the capacitor on the outside unit? It's a cheap attempt and may be the fix..

Get a couple of those mini split units and get those installed.
Excellent backups for when main unit goes out.
They also help to supplement the main unit and are very efficient.
I put one in my house, only 1000 sq. Ft. And my electric bill actually stayed the same or went down a couple of dollars per month.

Contactors fail also not just capacitors. Knowing how to use a multimeter can save money.

Same thing happened to me last night. I reset and it is running and cooling but not cooling anywhere like it should. Have a repair man coming out today.

LoL, I ordered 2, online, last week. They haven't been delivered, yet.

The unit is 7 years old. Hasn't been cooling like it should, on these hotter days. Was feeling like it needed freon added. Then this.

All breakers are good. Nothing tripped.

I operated a Fluke Authorized Service Center, but never worked with A/C. My problem now, is breathing with this heat.

My goodness I hope you get it fixed soon! I have 3 or 4 window units I'd gladly loan to you.
