I have Lennox central air unit that is not quite 3 years old yet.
The compressor motor is not turning on. The inside and outside fan both

run but all you hear outside is a little "errrr" sound that lasts for
about 5 seconds. Sounds like the compressor is trying to turn on but
won't. Is there anything that I can do to about this or is this pretty
much a service technician problem

Most likely a bad run capacitor. Could be a stuck compressor also,
might need a hard start kit.

Stretch

Great description of a stuck compressor. Call a couple HVAC companies. Try
to make the noise for the person who answers the phone. Good for a laugh.
And you might meet some very nice people this way.

It is something you should call a tech for. I would check and see if
maybe it is in warranty as it is not that old.
