Why my AC outer is not working?
When an outside fan fails, the most likely cause is a capacitor issue. Capacitors store up the energy that powers the air conditioner's fans. A capacitor may be used to start the fan and keep it running—as in a start/run capacitor. A bad capacitor can't properly power your AC's fan, meaning the fan can't spin.Apr 1, 2019
Is there a reset button on outside AC unit?
An AC's reset button is typically red and visible, so it should be easy to spot. If you don't see a reset button on the outside, it could be located inside the unit behind the service panel. Before poking around inside the machinery, be sure to cut power to the system by flipping off your circuit breaker.
