much satisfaction out of that but I do.

Saturday night it stopped working. After checking the unit in the basement and seeing it was working like it should, I went outside and the fan blades had stopped spinning on the condenser. After a 2 minute google search I find that it might be a bad capacitor. Went on youtube and watch a video that says, "is the unit humming but the fan is not spinning?" Which described perfectly what was happening. Then it says it is probably a bad capacitor. "To check it, get a long stick and give the fan blades a spin while the unit is humming. If it is the capacitor, the fan motor will start up after you give the blades a physical push and it should start the fan spinning on its own again." Sure enough I got a stick and gave the blades a whirl and it started right up. The video then described how to change out a capacitor. I went to the parts store 2 miles from my house and bought one for $16. All I had to do was unscrew 6 bolts, take off 3 connectors to the capacitor, replace it all and done. Took me 10 minutes.

I have no doubt it would have cost me $150-$200 to have a guy come do it, even more if I got someone dishonest.

Youtube has saved me a lot of money. We live in a pretty incredible time. Just sharing this in case someone else experiences the same problem. Seems like we get a lot of AC questions during the summer.
