Heat pump compressor not starting
Bryan heat pump; approx 14 y/o. Has been operating flawlessly until tonight. Now the compressor is not starting. The inside air handler coil is clean and frost-free; the outside fan is running but the compressor is not. Any help? We are in south Alabama and it will get hot FAST! Any help would be appreciated. I am competent to follow any instructions given (within reason of course, I am not a professional). Thanks in advance for your help.
