My tenant just reported that a 14,000 BTU window unit would not cool. The fan blows but the compressor doesn’t kick on and the 20 amp circuit is overheating. I am trying to determine if the compressor is faulty or if it could be a capacitor problem. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look. The unit is a 10 year old Whirlpool unit.
Thanks,
Stan

Stan; Are your sure that the unit is 110 Volts? Some wall units that size are 220 Volts. I would look at that first.
