Both at nearly the same time, huh? When you say fans, do you mean the
inside fans?

Hmmmmmmm.

Let's see....

Well........

No, it isn't that.

How about.... No, not that either.

Did you look at ? Not that either.

I'm willing to bet they are 12 SEER units, with a model number of ****-***
JAZ, right?

Not JBZ as the last 3, but JAZ, right?

Head pressure switch. Manual reset because the coils are nasty, filthy
dirty and clogged with all sorts of crap.

Clean your coils and cut the grass back from around the condensers.

Just a thought.
