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.

My HVAC took a time-out a few weeks back. Nothing would work at all.
The fan would not even run, like yours.

I presume the fan blower gets its 110V power from a light switch box
in the attic. The switch had failed and no power was getting to the
blower fan.

YMMV

If the inside unit is not working then it's likely that the 24 vac
transformer is not getting power and that will explain why the outside
unit doesn;t work. The op was not very clear about the inside half
but I got the impression it was ok. I could easily be mistaken.- Hide quoted text -

The air handler does work, and when I push in the relay on the outside
compressor unit it runs, so I guess next I check for 24v to the
compressor relay?
