Sounds like you need a new Run capacitor or hard start kit (includes the capacitor), but you should have it checked by tech
SOURCE: ac is not blowing air
There is not much information to work with here. Here are the possible problems listed in order of most common in my experience.
Frozen system caused by Low refrigerant or blocked air flow.
Indoor fan has failed and needs to be replaced
Indoor fan capacitor has failed and needs to be replaced
The fan relay that is on the circuit board has failed and the whole board should be replaced.
The system has a wiring problem (bare wires or miswired)

Most likely a failed run capacitor in the outdoor unit. The unit either has two separate run capacitors; one for the outdoor fan and one for the compressor. Or it may have one dual run capacitor which is the two capacitors built into one casing. Usually either a grey or silver cylinder with terminal connections on one end. If you intend to replace, make sure the power is off first by pulling the disconnect or turning off the breaker. Mark all wires and make sure they get back to the same terminal on the new capacitor. Capacitors are rated by their capacity (go figure) the new cap must match the old cap exactly on the uF or MFD (called micro-farads) rating. Voltage rating on the capacitor must be 370v or higher (most new caps are 440v rated). If you are not completely comfortable doing this yourself, a qualified HVAC service company can take care of the problem for you.
SOURCE: Fan will not work on outside unit.
Check the voltage to the contactor coil, it will do that if the voltage is low. This is the 24 volt part.

Hi!!
It not uncommon for the condenser motor to blow out, if evertything else is ok. The unit will kick in normally and you'll start getting cold air inside. Since the condenser is not doing its job, the unit's thermal protection will cut off compressor until cools down and then will start again.
Replace condenser motor (around $100) ASAP and do not use unit until then, othewise, major damage to the unit can occur.
