Know real knowledge here, but I know that there are a set of contacts and sometimes a switch outside at the compressor. From the description, that sounded to be where the problem is. If there is a box near the compressor, turn off power at a main circuit breaker that controls the circuit as a whole then check that box in case there is an outside breaker or contacts you can wiggle a bit. Then turn the main breaker to the unit on and see what happens. ON my old house, there were switch breakers both near the compressor and a separate one on the main board for the air conditioner as a whole. In this house, there is one main breaker for the unit, but the contacts outside are approachable. Don't know how much help any of this will be, but it does cover what little I know.

I have a forced air central unit and it is not working. I have a work order through my so called home warranty that should have a guy here on Monday, but in the meantime we are really hot. I thought I would describe the problem and maybe you all will have a simple answer. I sure hope so. It comes on inside and acts normal, just no cold air. The outside unit will try to come on and then quits. We reset the circuit breaker and changed the fuses in case that did it, but is there something else I could check?
