RE: [VAL] Armstrong AC



Most common failure of AC units is simple capacitors which are cheap. Second 
common is the start run switch commonly called the clixon located on the 
compressor. May units are discarded for these two items that combined cost 
less than $10 and are simple for even a novice to check.
