Hey,. its a TRANE....so its really annoying. This is what I get for going away for long periods of time. I did et back in time to run the AC a few times in the late summer, but when we had a cold bit with some frost the other week, I couldn't get it to start. I don't like my house hot, so in my typical fashion, I just turned on a small radiator I have to take the edge off, but now the time has come to deal with it, I suppose. About a year ago, a similar situation occurred and I duly called the HVAC repair guys. The technician is great, and it turned out to be a 6 dollar capacitor. The symptoms are the same this time, and it appears as if the fricken part has failed again. I see where it is, but I am leary of replacing it myself. OTOH if it is straight forward, I don't feel like coughing up the 100+ for a simple service call. Has anyone replaced these, and can they give some advice on how to do it? As much as some people on this forum might not mind me getting electrocuted, I have no intention of departing this earth just yet. Certainly not over a six dollar part.
