I have a 3 1/2 ton outdoor York unit, about 18 years old. It has worked flawlessly for these 18 years. Yesterday it started blowing hot air. When I checked the unit I found the fan wasn't running, but the compressor was. I pushed the fan and it started up, which told me a bad start capacitor. I replaced it and everything came on and seem to run normally until the middle of the night when I had to manually get the fan going again. I also had to start it again this morning, but the compressor wouldn't come on. Any suggestions or diagrams that would help? It's hot here!
