AC outside unit
Hello, I was running the AC in my house for the past few days, yesterday I try to turn it on and it didn't, I went outside and I heard a buzzing noise in it. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I checked the breakers, breakers are good,checked the two fuses, they are good, where and what am I checking at the condenser panel?, when I turned it on it wasn't a constant buzzing, I heard a click and then like it wanted to start, I moved the fan blades with a stick and they moved freely.

do you have a volt meter and know how to use it? Remove the panel and verify the contactor is pulled in with a call for cooling. Check the capacitor for swelling.

go to a local motor shop or buy it online, it does not matter. A capacitor is a capacitor and they are common. Average cost is $30 - 50 retail.
