Do It Yourself.. Or Not


Linda googled how to fix the AC unit. First step: change the filter. Check. That was easy. Second step: might be bad capacitor. Check to see if the top is swollen. No check. We have no idea where or what a capacitor is. Third step: Turn off power and see if the compressor is hot. If it's hot, it's working. Again, no check. That sounds scary. Fourth: check the filter dryer. No can do. Don't know what/where that is either. Fifth: Low on freon. Is there a dipstick to check like your car oil? Oh, never mind. It's going to have to be a job for a professional. Do you know there is not an Air Conditioning Repair for Dummies book? Someone should get on that ASAP.
