Outside AC Unit Not Running But Inside Is: What's going on?
The AC is no longer blowing cold air.The fan wasn't spinning when you visited the outside unit.Does this sound familiar?
Not interested in being a sleuth?Just give us a call.We'll give you a quote for the air conditioning repair.
A start Capacitor is an electric device that gets the electric motor running at startup by providing a "jolt" of stored electrical energy.The fan won't start if theCapacitor went bad.
Try pushing the fan with a stick to see if it works.You will hurt yourself if you use your fingers.
The solution is only temporary if you get the fan spinning.You need to talk to a technician.
Turn off your system and wait for help if you can't get the fan started.You can damage the compressor by overheating it.You don't want that!Replacing the compressor is the same thing as replacing your car's engine.
No power is getting to the outdoor unit and you have a faulty compressor contactor.The power is sent to the compressor and fan motor by the contractor.There could be other issues, but they are the common ones.
