Lennox Condensor fan-Capacitor

Can't tell you a thing without model and serial numbers BTW... if its only 4 years old, its probably still under warranty unless you screwed with it.

Get the higher one. Will work in both cases.

That noise you are hearing may be the compressor.

Your best bet is to call a Lennox dealer and have a service tech. come and check your system. You may have lost the condensing fan motor. So just shut down the A/C until the service tech arrives.

Do not attempt to work on it if you do not know what you are doing because you can cause more problems.

It just galls me to have to pay someone a $79 "diagnostic fee" $20 labor and $98 for the part when they are working on it for a total of

The diagnostic fee is for labor only in most cases. After they trouble shoot the problem they will give you a quote for fixing it. The quote could be T&M or a fixed price.

If you change out a part and your wrong you could do more damage in the long run.

Why don't you check into some type of insurance for your A/C?

Oh Geez! You're not another one of those fuquering "brainiacs" that got charged $100 to change your dirty air filter because you were too stupid to know how to do it yourself, are you? I dont like paying $3.09 a gallon for gas either but guess what junior? That's the way the world goes round. If you dont like it, stick a gun in your mouth and do us all a favor. Bubba

Yep, I know that feeling. I feel the same about dentists. But, there (should be) a lot of training and diagnostic ability that the tech brings into the picture. Should, that is. I wonder some times.

$40?

OK. Think about what you just said.... How much would YOU charge ME to learn a trade, buy a truck, shelving, corresponding tools, licensing fees, insurance,course upgrades, manuals,etc..., then drive over to my house, figure out what's wrong with my system, go get the part (even if I have one on the truck, I still had to go get it sometime), install the part, then warrant it if it fails prematurely. Huh? How much would YOU charge ME? $10?? Maybe $20?? And how long do you think you'd stay in business? I wonder if your boss is "galled" every time he hands you a paycheque.
