How can you check your home AC compressor which does not turn on but the fan is running?

Check to see if the capacitor is good. It is usually located inside the outdoor unit. It could be that the capacitor is bad and needs replacing. The outdoor fan will still run if you have a dual capacitor. One sure sign of a blown capacitor is that the top of the capacitor is bowed outward. If you have a multimeter you could also check the amp draw on the condensing unit. I would look at the capacitor first though

What could cause your AC in your car to not to be cold and just blow air?
