I think my AC may be broken.

Good, bet that's your problem then. Got off cheap if so.

I sure hope so. Replacing the unit would ruin my plans to replace our fence, which we desperately need to do.

Locke used to test capacitors, maybe they still do,,but with a burned hole u need a new one..

The supco capacitor checker isn't too expensive. Mine is probably 20+ years old.

And we have cool air again! $26 at Locke for a good ol fashioned made in America capacitor. I purchased a window unit last night to ensure that the wife allowed me to live through the night. I was thinking…. I’ve always considered windows units to be extremely inefficient, but at the same time, it’s probably cheaper to cool one room rather than the whole house at night. Any thoughts on using the window unit to cool down the bedroom to 65ish, while we let the central air keep the rest of the house at 72-74 for the night?

Glad that capacitor fixed it. it is a fulfilling feeling when we can fix our own stuff.

Glad for you and I don't think it'd hurt a thing to run the window AC at night.
