Cleaned recently, I'd have it done.

Any quick tips to troubleshoot our home AC?

Turn it off & open a window; should get frosty cool in a few minutes (it's 25 degrees outside)

Would the ac unit fan work if the capacitor was bad?

Check the airflow at your vents. If it seems weak probably have a block of ice

It does seem weak. I did notice that.

You can leave it off for a while then run the heat and see if water starts

So, it was off all day. No sign of ice.

Kick it on and see if it works. Also remove your filter for a few minutes.

That was out all day too.

I assume you've checked to make sure the drain line is clear and isn't tripping the float sensor? Have to pour vinegar
