AC not working or getting power
I need help please I am very handy but I am also completely an ac virgin. After some intense Googling I am here. I have a intertherm Package unit AC I cannot seem to find the exact model number by looking at the website I think it has to be one of these models P7RD, Q5RD, P5RF & Q5RF. Sorry. Anyway the AC stopped working yesterday I have never had any issues with it before. I got it second hand it is about ten years old. I remember the power flickering at some point yesterday but that might have been earlier in the day when it was storming. I know it was working after the storm passed, it may be unrelated. I have electronic thermostat made by Hunter inside it says no AC power. I tested the wires going directly into the ac and they have power so the problem has to be inside the air conditioner or with the thermostat that is in the house?? The thermostat in the house seems to be working fine and is about 6 years old, I reset it same issues. I took off the side panels of the ac and all the wires on the inside look good and well connected nothing looks burnt, worn, or melted. The capacitor looks very good on the out side I have no clue how to test it or even if that is where I should go next, The computer said look at it so I did. Lol. I found a video but realized I could spend my whole life looking at videos I needed professional help. I need to know what to test, how to test it, and where it is. I have pictures of everything. I did not take the last panel off that covers the compressor because it was going to rain but it looked good from what I could see. I will attach pictures any help is greatly appreciated I live in Florida. (What does that switch do in the last picture I could find out anything about it, just out of curiosity I didn't think it was related.)
