Will a compressor run without freon?
Neighbors 2004 Forest River TT air conditioner is not cooling. Fan, blower runs fine, compressor also as it is hot to the touch. My experience has been if there is no freon the compressor will not run...

I think it IS LRA. That's what I recall from the first time our home central A/C ate a compressor run capacitor. Oddly, the Rheem home unit, with Copeland Scroll Compressor, does not use a start device. The RV does, and so did the Whirlpool central A/C on the previous house.
If a compressor has a "start amps" rating, I don't think most clamp-on ammeters will trap it for display. There was a thread about peak readings here, but I got lost in it.
