A bad capacitor can make an AC operate like Jack Nicholson had the wheel. Check starting current of BOTH the compressor AND the motor that powers the condenser and evaporator fans shaft.
Manufacturers should be FORCED TO make the so-called "Hard Start" capacitor standard equipment. OEM can buy stuff for about 20% of what we mortals are forced to pay.
Is there a way someone like me, with only a multimeter can check this and if so, how? Otherwise, should I just take it to a shop to have this checked?
