    Could be a bad compressor. Luckily for you, if you were sold a house the A/C doesn't work, it is the sellers problem. I would start with contacting the Realtor. Get brushed off, call the lawyer if you had one for closing. You might also post to the real estate law forum here.

    The less you mess with the system for now, the more difficult for the seller to weasel out of it.

    It could just be a capacitor too, they are cheap enough repairs.
