6ANut Report post Posted April 23, 2016 My AC is not getting that cold, won't get the temp under 80. If I'm going to pay someone to fix it might as well be someone on here if possible or a friend. Thanks in advance. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5guyshunting Report post Posted April 23, 2016 If you are a little mechanically inclined, get the model number and pick up a capacitor. Usally about 20 bucks. Shut the power down and replace. About two years ago I was told I needed a new unit, a 14 dollar capacitor was all it took. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted April 24, 2016 Make sure both fans are on and compressor is running, if so its not a capacitor. Maybe low on refrigerant. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle mountain ranch Report post Posted April 24, 2016 Do you have a multi meter with a farad function,you can test it . Beware don't touch touch it even with the power off with your hands . Check the capacitance to what's in the side of the cap. To what the meter reads give it a few because of time constants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 24, 2016 Don't touch the terminals on a live capacitor. Is there any ice buildup inside your air handler? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
