central air compressor/fan no power

Apr 13, 2007 2 Replies

My compressor/fan stopped working. Does anyone know whatmight cause this? The power box right next to the unit has a breaker and it is not tripped. The blower in the house comes on, but no power to unit outside. Thanks



Check to see if you have 240 volts on the load side of the "breaker". If you do, you need to see if you have 24 volt on the control wire, which energizes a contactor inside the unit. Once you determine these things, you'll have a better idea of where the problem may be

What's your skill level? Have you done house wiring before, and are you comfortable working aroud 220 volt power?
