    Common symptoms

    • Not cooling
    • Outdoor fan not spinning
    • Ice on the copper line

    Troubleshooting steps

    1. 1
      Check the run capacitor

      The dual-run capacitor (typically 45+5 μF) is the #1 failure point on this unit in Antelope Valley heat. Bulged top or bad microfarad reading = replace.

    2. 2
      Inspect the contactor

      Pitted or welded contacts cause fan-only operation. Replace if resistance across coil is out of spec.

    3. 3
      Verify refrigerant charge

      R-410A subcooling should be 8–12°F. Low = leak, don't just top-off — find and repair.
