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

If the compressor is not running, the most common cause is a
defective* relay/solenoid. This can be fixed/replaced by a
moderately handy handyperson.

If the compressor IS running, the solution is beyond the scope of

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!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's probably, but not necessarily true.




Why isn't it?

Just how many air conditioners do you service on a daily basis?



You've never heard of a 120V motor?
