What is exact model #?
Do you have a manual for the unit?

One thing I would
check is the capacitor. The older units have a
cylinder-looking capacitor
which can be checked out visually most of the times" if
the top is now a dome, as opposed to flat, then it needs
replacing.
Otherwise, it needs to be checked with a meter that
measures capacitance.
If you don't have one, you might need a real AC
guy.
Most electricians won't touch the insides of an AC
unit. All they are good for in this instance is in making
sure there is power to the unit, which you said there
is.
If it is flat, consider that an option for later - check
what you can. It could be as simple as a reset switch,
which is what you should check first.

Subject: [DIY] Help me troubleshoot gas
furnace
Hi there,
I have a Carrier model furnace in the attic circa 2001.
About a week ago, it stopped working. (Fortunately in
California, the nights only dip down to the mid-low 60s, so
it's more of an annoyance than a necessity.)
Here is the info I gathered:
1) The water heater and oven still work fine.
2) The thermostat still appears to be working. The fan
controls work (on/off) and the AC works.
3) When I set it to heater, the thermostat indicates its
own. But you don't hear the typical noise from the ducts
and no hot air blows out.
I haven't gone up in the attic yet, as we have
somethings in the closet that will require moving in order
to get a ladder to the access panel. So I want to gather all
info and see what else I need to do first.
I've read that it could be:
1) The ignitor needs to be replaced, nice and simple
2) Faulty wiring on the board
3) Dirty filter needs to be cleaned
4) A limit switch was tripped and got stuck, so the system
needs a hard boot (flip the breaker)
Any other ideas before I venture up there?
Thanks!
Mike
