Assuming you've checked the obvious circuit breaker/fuse condition:

If the compressor is not running, the most common cause is a

moderately handy handyperson.

If the compressor IS running, the solution is beyond the scope of the
average homeowner.

I see this is over your 'scope' as she said the outdoor fan is
running.

What's that got to do with anything? Evidently you don't realize that
the
compressor and the fan are two independent devices. One can run without

the

other.



They both get their power from the same contactor!



... but don't necessarily use both halves.


They're both 240 volt products... both halves are needed for operation!
