Dual Run Capacitor
The run capacitor provides the electrical torque required for the compressor and outdoor fan motor to operate. Over time, heat and electrical stress degrade the internal dielectric film, leading to a loss of capacitance that prevents the compressor from starting or staying in sync. This results in the indoor fan blowing warm air because the outdoor cooling cycle never initiates.

AC Contactor
The contactor is an electromechanical relay that closes to send 240V power to the compressor. If the silver-plated contacts become pitted, charred, or obstructed by debris (such as ants), the electrical bridge fails even if the thermostat is calling for cooling, effectively disabling the outdoor unit while the indoor blower continues to run.

Evaporator Coil
If the outdoor mechanical components are functioning but no cooling occurs, the system has likely lost its refrigerant charge. Formicary corrosion in the copper or aluminum tubing of the evaporator coil creates microscopic leaks. Without sufficient R-410A refrigerant to facilitate the evaporation and condensation phase-change cycle, the system cannot absorb heat from the indoor air.
