I had the exact same thing, and after talking my service technician OUT of
replacing board after board in the indoor part of my a/c unit, we went to
the circuit breaker and discovered that that the wire to it was loosely
screwed in.
And discolored.
This by itself can cause a circuit breaker to throw.
We tightened the screw and it has been fine ever since.
Note: PULEEZ shut down the universe before attempting touching that screw.

"Realtor" and "realty" are pronounced "reel'-tor" and
"reel'-tee", *not* "reel'-a-tor" and "reel'-i-tee" !!!!
If you pronounce them with the extra syllable, you will
sound like a complete idiot.
