Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. When that isn't the fix, 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.
