    Outside unit not turning on
    The inside unit comes on and blows air not cold air. I have changed the capacitor, but the outside unit still does not come on. There is a slight humming coming from the outside unit. Neither the fan nor the compressor is coming on. The connector is clicking closed when the inside unit is turned on. Also I have to push the reset button when I first turn the unit on, for it to actually come on.

    Do you have power to the outside unit?

    Well I thought I did. As it turns out half of the breaker for the outside unit had gone bad. So instead of 240 going to it, it was only getting 120.
