I have a Goodman GSC130241AB unit and the fan is not working. I can hear a humming noise if I turn the unit on but nothing is working. Any idea of where I should look first.
The breaker is fine. I turned the thermostat off for a while yesterday and turned it back on and the unit started working again. I'm thinking I may have a bad thermostat or the coils are dirty making the unit overheat. Is there a way to check the thermostat for proper operation?The breaker is fine.

Hello, try using a small object to push the fan with power applied to it, if this gets the fan going tnen the capacitor must be replaced. If the fan does not start up then the motor is shot and must be replaced.
Hello, that sound you are hearing is most likely the compressor running. The problem is either a bad capacitor or bad fan motor, replace the capacitor first since it is inexpensive. If you need help with replacing the capacitor feel free to ask me.
A humming sound is not unusual for any a/c compressor. In some cases the humming is nothing more than a loose exterior housing. If it works fine don't worry about the noise.
See if you can hear the compressor start, if that does not start and your fan hums, it is most likely your dual capacitor. If compressor starts and fan hums, it is most likely your fan.
check your house circuit breakers first that should be labeled heatpump or outdoor unit
make sure it is on and or not tripped
then if you have a box outside near the outdoor unit open it up and see if there is a breaker or maybe fuses that could be blown
