Well, what doesn't kill us makes us more knowledgeable. I did know
enough to turn off all breakers including the one to the air handler
before monkeying with the outside unit so I wasn't in any danger.

Next I need to clean the internal coils. Just looked at 'em, they're

getting through but they definitely need cleaning.
