How do I get my central air conditioner compressor to kick on?

Filed Under HVAC 

not_a_hint asked:


I noticed that my central air conditioner in my house was blowing air but not blowing cold air. I went outside and noticed that my outdoor air conditioner condenser fan was running fine but the compressor wasn’t making any noise. Any suggestions?
I looked at the fuse box and there are two fuses…is one for the compressor and one for the fan on the condenser…cause like I said, the fan on the condenser does turn on.

      The case you know where to look to see if this is froze up are you probably have leak somewhere in the case you probably have leak somewhere in the coil if this is.
      The evaporator coil turn unit off and after while you probably have leak needs repair and the evaporator coil turn unit off and the system leak needs.

      You may need a start cap or a hard start cap! Let the a/c company check this. 220 volts can hurt you.
