Had a problem about 1 week ago. Outside compressor wasn't working. Yanked out the relay and boom...A/C was working again in my house.
Had an old thermostat...
My buddy told me to buy a new thermostat that could act in place of the relay at the compressor so i didn't put a new relay in.
It has been about 7 days, yeah im lazy..im a plumber what do you expect?
Anyways..came home today...no A/C. No fan blowing..nothing. Air handler not running. I replaced the thermostat with a digital. I have 4 wires coming out of the wall. G, Y, W, and RH. There is a jumper between RH and RC.
When i turn the fan on and put it on cool..i hear a click at the thermostat, but thats it. The air handler/fan still won't kick on. The compressor outside isn't kicking on either. I turn all breakers off and back on..when i did this the compressor would kick on for a brief second then go back off. The air handler and fan never kick on.
The capacitor on the fan was replaced about 2 years ago..perhaps i need a new one?
I also tried touching G to RH..and no fan. I should also note i try it on cool and heat and off with just fan on. Nothing. Also the fan/blower spins fine in the air handler if i push it. Just doesn't keep spinning heh.
My buddy who owns an A/C company is out of town for a couple days and i can't reach him. Hopefully you all can help me. Thx.
