Hello,
I noticed a smell similar to wires burning coming from my 5 year old
thermostat. The air had not been on all day and it is 85 in my
house. I went to Home Depot and bought a new thermostat and hooked it
up. The A/C still wont come on. I turned the unit off downstairs and
unplugged the fuse out side for about 30 minutes and then turned them
both back on and still nothing. When I go outside and push on the new
contactor that was installed three weeks ago and hold the contactor in
the outside unit comes on. But if i let go, nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Ryan

Go outside and push in the contacter..
Keep holding it down untill it's finally cold enough for you go back inside.

Yeah, great advice. Next smartass response please...
I was told that this was a good place to get help in fixing problems
without having to call someone out but apparently my sources were
incorrect. Thanks for not helping me.
