✓
Tripped breaker. The outdoor unit usually has its own breaker in the panel.
✓
Outdoor disconnect off. The box on the wall next to the unit may have been switched off.
✓
Failed capacitor. The unit hums but will not start.
✓
Bad contactor. The switch that sends power to the outdoor unit can burn or stick.
✓
Float switch tripped. If the condensate drain backs up, a float switch shuts the AC off to stop a leak.
✓
Set the thermostat to Cool and below room temperature. Replace its batteries.
✓
Check the breakers for the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
✓
Make sure the outdoor disconnect is in the on position.
✓
Look at the condensate drain pan or pump near the indoor unit. If it is full of water, the float switch may have shut the AC off.
Reset a tripped breaker once. If the AC trips the breaker again, leave it off. Repeated tripping points to a failing compressor, a shorted fan motor or a bad capacitor. That needs a contractor.
Call if the AC still will not start, if the outdoor unit hums with no fan, or if the breaker keeps tripping. In Parker, Colorado summer heat, a quick fix to a capacitor or contactor often gets the system running again.

Check the thermostat, the breakers and the outdoor disconnect. If those are fine, a failed capacitor, contactor or a tripped float switch is likely.
It can be a failing compressor, a shorted motor, a bad capacitor, or loose wiring. Reset it once only and call if it trips again.
It is a safety switch in the condensate drain or pan. When water backs up, it shuts the AC off to stop a leak. A clogged drain line is the usual cause.
