i turned my ac on today for the first time.
any ideas? is there somethign i can check on the compressor?
Could be a lot of things. Not much you can check without gauges, meter, and knowing how to use them.
Leak is still there and the compressor will not go on because it is low or empty. Could be the compressor itself shorting out the circuit. Could be controls. Best to call for a service tech.
If you were low on freon, the fan on the outside unit would still turn, but the compressor would not come on. The fact that nothing comes on could mean your contactor on the relay is dirty or some other electrical problem. Just a guess.
