AC Repair
An AC fan not working in Parker, CO is one of the most common summer problems. The outdoor unit hums or clicks, but the fan on top does not spin. Without that fan, the system cannot get rid of heat, and the compressor can overheat.

The capacitor gives the fan motor and compressor a boost to start. Heat wears capacitors out. AC capacitor replacement is the most common summer repair.
Motors wear out, especially after years of hot summers. A worn motor may hum, run slowly, or stop.
The contactor is the switch that powers the outdoor unit. A burned or stuck contactor can stop the fan or keep it running.
If the fan runs but the compressor will not start, you may hear repeated clicking or a loud hum. An aging compressor may need a hard start kit or further repair.
✓
Check the breaker for the outdoor unit.

Make sure the outdoor disconnect is on.
✓
Set the thermostat to Cool and below room temperature.
✓
Look for sticks or debris blocking the fan blades from above. Do not reach inside the unit.
Call if the unit hums with no fan, or if the fan runs but the AC compressor is not working. Turn the system off while you wait. Parker, Colorado summers are short but hot, and these electrical parts are where most failures happen.
