Can AC capacitor run fan but not compressor?
It is most likely an electrical problem with your AC. Capacitors are like mini jump starts for the various motors in your AC system. Each motor has its own capacitor and if one of them is not working, then it usually means that the motor won’t run. This can effect the compressor and not the fan.
