Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Once you've ruled that out, a failing compressor is a sealed, high-pressure, refrigerant-charged part, and replacing one requires an experienced technician and recovery equipment no homeowner has on hand.
