Assuming you've checked the obvious circuit breaker/fuse

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

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

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?



How many have you come across on a residential spilt air conditioning
condenser?


That's why I said "probably."


Why did you reply on something that you have limited knowledge?
