Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the necessary phase-shifted current to start and maintain the compressor's rotation. Over time, heat exposure causes the dielectric fluid to degrade, leading to a loss of capacitance that prevents the compressor from starting while the fan continues to run. This results in the system circulating ambient-temperature air without any refrigerant compression or cooling taking place.

Pleated Air Filter (MERV 11)
A heavily restricted air filter reduces the mass flow rate of air across the evaporator coil, causing the refrigerant temperature to drop below the freezing point. This triggers the formation of ice on the coil fins, which acts as a thermal insulator and physically blocks airflow. Eventually, the system cannot absorb heat from the home, and the air blowing from the vents remains at room temperature.

Single Pole AC Contactor
The contactor is an electromechanical relay that closes the high-voltage circuit to the compressor when the thermostat calls for cooling. Constant arcing during engagement causes the silver contacts to pit, carbonize, or weld shut, eventually preventing electrical continuity to the compressor motor. If the contactor fails to bridge the circuit, the outdoor fan may spin, but the compressor will remain idle, halting the cooling process.
