isnt the capacitor usually for the outside fan and compressor? first thing you should do is put the fan selector switch in on position instead of auto and see if it comes on. probably a control board or something if it doesnt come on when the switch is in on position.


Yeah. The fan doesn't turn on when I switch it to on. Is that a tstat or controll panel?

Probably contacts on outside unit. Mine did this and I just cut power to the outside unit soaked the contacts with contact cleaner and hit them with a plastic handled screwdriver and that fixed it. Be careful there because I think that capacitor can cause harm if you short it out. I am not an ac guy and use this advise at your own risk.
