Remove the access cover from the outside unit. Find the contactor. It is the part that has the high voltage incoming wires attached. There is a button/bar in the center of the contactor. Use a insulated screwdriver or a wood pencil and push the bar in. If the unit starts you will have to trace the low voltage circuit from the thermostat and air handler to the outside. 24 volts should be present at the low voltage contactor terminals via the defrost board. If you have 24 volts to the defrost board,turn off the outside power, remove the red low voltage wire from the defrost board then reattach it. The board may be tripped on a low voltage fault. Report back here with your result.

I have a SHARP AY-a249J system that starts cooling for about 20-30 minutes then the cooling system stops but the fan keeps going. I used the test function which disables the thermostat but the problem remained. Any ideas?

Last winter a Repairman came to my home and replaced the control board on my carrier home unit with model 325878 751 board. He took the manuals and is now out of business. It is now hot and the outside unit does not come on when the unit tries to cool the house. Obviously forgot to hook up a wire. My question is which one and where.
