I didn't see any mention that the air conditioner was making (bearing)

impending failure through vibration, noises, smoke, and eventually
trip the overload protector.

I changed the fan motor on my first floor compressor unit last summer and did so about 10 years on the second floor unit - both being 26 years old now.. Both would sometimes fail to start. I would go outside and give them a push with a screwdriver threw the top vents and they would run happily and quietly until the next cycle. They are Heil units.
