OK, then odds are you are low on freon, did the fan start to spin when you pushed the contactor in and it sparked?

Wow 350 for a compasitor, I am not making enough money I only charge $45

OK and you are sure you have power to the fuse box outside?

I wish you lived in NY then! We have power, the fan did nothing, no noise of any sort

How often should the freon be charged

I do not knopw much about the freon situation, rough estimate on cost to have this done

Do you see your $300 capasitor in there? Check to see if it is swolen where the wires connect.

No it looked fine why?

Hear about $14 pre pound, there probably about $30 per pound plus a service call, but if it did not run when you pushed that in you have anouther problem

First thing I checked

OK do you have fuses in the power box outside or just a pull disconnect?

A large double fuse

But there is deffineytly power getting to the conductor thing I touched before

OK, well form what we have done so far. If you pushed in the contactor with the power on.. the only 2 things that would keep it from running is a bad compasitor, or no power. Could 1 side of the doube fuse have blow?

I will try to replace it, how difficult to replace a compasitator

Should I call them back should it last more than 2 years I know the part is cheap

Do you have a volt meter?

yes, it is too dark now to use it I =can try in the morning where

I guess for tonight we will sweat and I will try again tomorrow before I give in and call. First I guess I check the voltage, then check for a swollen capactitator and if nothing there then call for service?

On that contactor. Check the 2 termanals at the bottom for 220 volts, then the 2 termanal at the top for 220 volts. Then the 2 small blue wires on the sides check them for 24 volts and let me know what you find
