Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before booking a repair, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Also, listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power.
