You need to remove the top cover and inspect the larger of the two capacitors. Even if it looks OK I would start by replacing it.. $15 on Ebay by just matching the numbers.
Agreed. Inspect with the power OFF, and short the terminals together with an insulated tool (like a plastic handle screwdriver) before you handle them. If you can find the fan motor wires, just momentarily disconnect them and have your helper put the power back on and set the system to COOL. See if anything happens. You should hear the compressor hum, feel a little vibration, and notice that the small copper tube from compressor is getting warm. That and the larger tube is getting cool.
Post the complete Model Number and we'll try to look up a wiring diagram.
