Question Ruud UPKA-060JAZZ problem ...

My outside compressor and fan occasionally run for a while after the inside fan quits ... other times, they do not run even when the inside fan is running (blowing cold air). There is no consistency. Also, the breaker on the outside compressor trips occasionally. When this happens, I go outside ... press the reset button, and it starts up (if inside fan is already running). When both are running normally, I get warm air out of the floor vents as it should be. I keep the digital stat on "heat" mode with fan set on "auto" ... difference between day and night temps is 2 degrees (19 - 21).

Assuming that's a Ruud heat pump, you might have a problem with the contactor in the heat pump. I'd check it first to see if it is burnt or binding/sticking before moving on to more troubleshooting.
