While looking at my ladies, I heard the Lennox air conditioner making a strange sound. Entered the House: blower in the oven OK. The evaporator coil is not frozen, but only the warm air in the register. When I pedaled the unit on and off I noticed the condenser fan was not spinning, but it would rotate if kick-started.
I went to the local parts dealer and got new start / run capacitor for $54. Running like a dream now.
Years ago, my neighbor had a similar problem, but he did not address it soon enough. Thermal overload eventually failed in the compressor and cost it almost dolari 2000 for repairs.
I am sure that in the second day or two I would have noticed the temperature of the House does not fall and investigated. But catching so quickly can be helped.
