Hmm
Quote:
if the fan is not running is the compressor not running also...if neither is running the possible reasons are 1..no power to outside unit...2..bad contactor on outside unit.is this buzzing if it is this indicates no power...3 bad capacitor,do both compressor and fan humm then quit humming and hum some more...
1 Well, I have 240 outside.
2 hmm, I had buzzing, but no activity
3 I think I had more of a buzzing than a humming, so maybe it's not the capacitor.

So what the hell's the contactor and how do I check it?
