  • A/C problem

    My fan motor on the inside blower unit went out this week. I replaced it along with the capacitor. When I turned everything back on, the compressor would not come on. I checked the breaker, but no problem. There's no humming or anything from the unit outside. Any ideas what to check now?
    I'm between jobs and really need to try and fix this myself if possible!
    Thnks

    Unit started working. Guess it just needed some time to get going!

    Is this a blower coil unit? First check all the low volt wires in the blower coil unit
    to see if you broke a wire. The blower runs Right? Is there a electronic board in the blower coil unit? if so check to see if there is a plug in fuse on that board.
    If you thermostat makes the indoor blower run then see if you have 24 volt power going to the two wires to the outdoor unit.
    If you can take pic. of all the controls on the indoor and outdoor units, send
    them to paulm989@hotmail.com. Paul

      I did not read the last part of your post. Both thermostats and electronic boards
      and out door units can have time delays built into them. If you have two time delays, it could take up to ten min. for the outdoor unit to start. Paul

        That's happened in experience before, it often does that.
