Hi all,
Sorry, I'm not a big do-it-yourselfer (yet), so I'll do the best to describe though I don't actually know what the problem is.
In my apartment the circuit breaker on my A/C line keeps getting tripped, and after the last time it happened my A/C compressor just wouldn't click on.
The fan runs fine blowing air around, but as soon as the timer/thermometer decides it's time to actually click on the cooling, here's what happens: I hear a click, I see the lights dim for a second (which happened normally when it was working), I get the normal-sounding deep HMMMMM sound that normally precedes the compressor (?) turning on, and I can see the heavy distortion waves on my PC CRT monitor like normal when it clicks on--but then, it just doesn't turn on. It gives up after a split second and then goes back into fan mode.
I guess that's about it. Is this something it's worthwhile to fix? Could it be something in my wiring that broke during the last circuit break and not a problem with the A/C at all? Other devices work fine on the same circuit in the apartment.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
