One leg is dead and you're reading voltage through the crankcase heater.
make sure the disconnect is off before checking the voltage. Read the
voltages at the circuit breaker feeding the external disconnect. One side
could be tripped or there is a bad connection. Turn the breaker off
forcefully to make sure it clicks and resets if it tripped before.
Sometimes, a 2 pole breaker will trip and if you don't use enough force when
you turn it off, one side may not reset. I've seen it happen more than
once. ?(?)?

You're clearly the HVAC pro here. I will double check the 2 pole breaker.
That could explain a lot. Thanks!!!
