[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 2302306, member: 7248"] Too early to call Joe at Affordable so hope someone can answer this. My upstairs AC fan was running this morning when I got up, which is unusual because its cool outside. I check it and its 81* and blowing warm air from the vents. I turn the thermostat to off. I check the breakers and find the compressor breaker is flipped. I flip it on and the fan starts trying to spin and it starts humming. The fan speed seems slow. The capacitor doesn't fire, just the fan trying to spin I believe, but there is a humming. Not sure if its the fan or something else. The breaker chattered some the first time I kicked it on. I turned it off, then turned it on while the fan hummed and turned slowly, the breaker sounded like it was going to flip after a few seconds. I turned the breaker off and left it off. I believe nothing should be spinning or coming on because I turned the thermostat to off. Anybody have a clue what might be going on? [/QUOTE]
