Default AC compressor

As others have suggested. You can check to see if the outdoor unit has
220 VAC. You can also check to see if the contactor is getting the 24
VAC signal, and if the contactor is making connection.

The fan and compressor have different capacitors. Possible but not
likely that they are both bad at the same time.


If it's a combo capacitor with 3 terminals, the top will pop up
when it fails, killing both the fan and compressor.
