A/C does not work suddently
My A/C does not work this morning and only heard room blow works without any cool air. Go to outside and find my TRANE XB 80 compressor and OD fan don't work at all. Need help.

Did you check the circuit breaker that controls the condenser ?
Your next step is to check for power at the condenser disconnect.
If your air handler is in a ceiling, attic or closet...... it may have a float switch detecting high condensate water levels.

outside is XB1000, at the attic is XB80 to blow air. (1) No water is over high water level, actually, there is no any water in container under XB80. (2) I have tried to switch power circuit break OFF and ON. (3) Go to outside control box with XB1000, the contact is active to close, but compressor does not work. No matter I shut off or ON circuit break, the contact always is close as long as i switch thermo-state on COOL.

If you have a voltmeter, check for 24VAC across the contactor coil when the thermostat calls for cooling. You can turn off the power to the outside unit when doing this, as the 24VAC comes from the thermostat.

1. YES. You are correct. There is no 240v supply after measure out unit inlet. One fuse in Outdoor disconnect fuse box is broken, replace the fuse. Exhaust (cooling) fan is working, but no cold air. Then, I checked capacitor, its cap pop up, and replace the capacitor, now it is working well. Thanks.
2. I do have dual A/C, one is XB1000, which has fixed under your helps. Another one is XE1000 (w/ heat pump). I want order capacitor for XE1000, too. Check Train part list, there are two capacitors in the list, one is called start capacitor CPT00091 w/resistor (135/155uf), only has two poles. Another is CPT00690 dual w/resistor, have 3 poles (5/20uf). Which one is for A/C? Open the unit, I only found the capacitor w/3 poles, is this 5/20uf enough to operate A/C and fan? Or I should find another one (135/155uf)? Where does it locate. Help. Are there two capacitors in the unit or one? (this one is heat pump)
3. Also, google CPT00091 and found the supply. But google CPT00690, I can't find supply.
Thanks

If your unit had two capacitors they would be right next to each other.
If you only see one dual cap.... that may be all there is.

If you are wanting to buy a replacement..... match the existing capacitor.
The uf ratings need to match. The voltage can be higher.
