My 1986 Lennox AC compressor unit just stopped running, the fan isnt
running and no noise comes from the unit, I reset the breakers and the
thermostat is the old round analog Honywell, its calling for cooling.
Ive never worked on this but is there anything I can test with a V
meter before I call a pro. 3 weeks ago I lost all freon from a big
leak and had it fixed, all has been fine until today. I would think at
least the fan would run.

Is there some specific reason you want to keep fiddling with a unit
that is 24 years old and now using a substitute refrigerant for what
it was originally charged with ?

After fixing a leak the unit stops working completely ?

I would say you got your 24 years out of the unit and its time to
update your installation... *Not only will a newer unit of the same
size use less energy, they also have better control systems for
them now...

My mistake its a 96, only the second time it broke, its 13 seer and I
could not get a new one this year, so its fix it or get a window unit
for the room I sleep in.- Hide quoted text -

I'd start by seeing if you have 240v coming into the outside condenser
unit. It comes into a relay that gets closed to turn on the
compressor. If so, then see if the relay closes and you get 240v on
the other side going to the compressor when the system is turned on
