Have you checked the contactors? I live real near that area and fire ants love to get in the contactors and shirt them out.

Capacitor and contactor are behind a metal access panel. You will need to remove around 4 machine screws to get to it.

The capicator is too easy to change to have a pro do it. I've been doing commercial HVAC for 20 years. I could walk you thru this if you want me to. If you have a grainger nearby it would help. They will have what you need. IM me if you want to. Quote HistoryQuoted:

They will have what you need. IM me if you want to. I may take you up on this, cpl. I do have a Grainger near by in Athens. What makes me nervous is the whole discharging part. Right now I'm trying to sort the part(s). Cpl0313, I think you recommended replacing both capacitors and the relay for the bottom one. Here are some pictures that I took yesterday. I haven't been able to come up with a replacement online for either of these, nor the relay. Here are some pictures: 
To recap the issue I'm having: Quoted:
I'm having a similar issue with my Trane heatpump/outdoor unit. Used a stick. The unit clicked, then after a few seconds I could hear a low humming noise, but the fan never started spinning. I have had people tell me to try to spin start the fan, but I haven't gotten that far yet. The capacitors look to be in good shape - no bulges. |

Ok, not sure why the photos aren't showing up. Is it just me?

If they have been off for any substantial amount of time they should be discharged. If your really worried about it short the terminals with a old screwdriver. You have a potential relay, start capicator and a dual run capicator. I would replace all three. The silver round cap is a dual cap. Its for the fan and compressor. The black cap is the start cap and works in conjunction with the black potential relay.

The run cap is a 30 and 5 mfd at 440vac.
Start with replacing that one. |

It scares the hell out of me because it can kill me and I can't even see it. Quoted:

I think I found a replacement for the dual run capacitor on ebay, but $40 seems a bit high: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-Genteq-Run-Capacitor-Round-30-5-uf-440-volt-27L20-/350456682158?hash=item5198d896ae |
