From his description of the problem----HE HAS NO 120 POWER TO THE AC UNIT. If he had 120 power to the unit and the roof top control board clicks, then even IF he had a capacitor problem, BOTH the Fan and Compressor CAPs would not have failed. Either the Fan comes on or the compressor. Since neither does, he has no 120 power to the top unit. Doug
Just a quick update. I went up there and visually inspected the capacitors. They both looked great. Took a multimeter up there and had no power going to any of the wires. I have a completely different fuse panel for just my A/C that I never knew about. It is not part of the regular panel which explains why I never noticed it wasn't flipped. Thank you for all of your help.
This points to a problem with forums. Rarely do the respondents READ and understand the complaint in its complete reading. For novices asking for help, off the wall repairs are rarely needed. KISS, is the BEST answer to most complaints. CHECK the easy simple things first. Part of my job, is talking to the customer and getting a full response on his complaints. THAT helps me zero in on the actual problem. NOT waste time doing off the wall check outs and tests. Which saves the customer money. Doug
