It's only goes out when it's hot
And the parts are always a few days away.
Fan motor went out on my downstairs unit. You would think in all of DFW the motor would be somewhere.

Our old unit broke down every year for like 6-8 years straight. I remember having as many as 5 portables going. Bought, begged and borrowed.

It’s that time of year. Any problems you may have been able to limp through during the winter are going to show up when you start putting a load on the compressor. If you aren’t in a good preventative maintenance schedule, then you are going to spend a lot of money on this stuff.
If you don’t want to pay somebody to do PM, at the very least change your filter and wash off your condenser coils.

Would be wise to get the info off the boxes and order some spares to keep on hand. Especially capacitors.
In the mean time Brian, go get a box fan from the local box store and put it on top of the condensor unit blowing straight up. This will at least help y'all stay cooler for a bit. The more CFM you pull through, the better.

Company that installed ours 10 years ago charges $150 a year for PM and it’s the best money for peace of mind I’ve ever spent. Comes twice a year and checks heat and AC both times. He cleans outside unit, tests everything inside and writes a report that we both get a copy of.
