If it goes out suddenly, it’s a capacitor or contactor.
No breakers tripped. Air handler in the attic is running. Fan on the condenser is running. Compressor not kicking on.

Yup. This time a year it’s almost always a clogged drain line. If your thermostat says disconnected or no power, then this is 100% the issue.
If ac is in attic, need to go right to the downstairs sink it is attached to and take off the T.

Good deal! Now, buy yourself a couple more as soon as you can find them. Put them back for the next time this happens.

Glad you found one
