    Things to check when central air compressor doesn't come on
    Hi, our central air conditioner was working up until three hours ago. The fan in the heater comes on but the unit out back does nothing. I checked all the breakers and the filter, hot air is blowing out of the vents when I turn the system on.I had this system checked in June and everything was fine. The compressor is only 10 years old.

    You mentioned breakers but did you check for fuses in the outside disconnect?
