    Condenser hums when off, seems to work OK
    The condenser on my AC unit started humming recently, even when the unit is not running. I tried pulling the fuses but the hum continued. Everything seems to be working OK, cycles on and off and cools normally. Is this something to worry about? What could I check myself.
