Then:
Allow 30 minutes or more for A/C to cool compressor thermal safety is closed
Turn power to A/C off at Breaker, leaving Thermostat in a setting to demand cooling.
Open the unit up to see capacitors and find a point to check voltage to compressor
With meter leads and your ears in place, have Helper turn the power on
Let us know if you have voltage, hear compressor try to start, hear internal safety click "out"
If compressor gets voltage, it doesn't start, clicks "out" and voltage then rises, let us know that
I wish we had a way to check current draw and/or test capacitors. You can at least look and see if they look bloated or fluid leaking out.
I'll send you a private message with my email ID. Send me any pix you take and I'll try to get them posted.
