Hi, By saying the condenser fan is not working as well, I have to ask is the contactor making any kind of noise?. If the contactor is not making noise, look for some smaller wires going to the contactor. These are the low voltage wires that send 24 volts to the contactor. Make sure the thermostat is turned on, set it for a temperature lower than the current room temperature. Are you getting voltage to the contactor? If the answer is no check the W wire at the air handler and at the thermostat. The G wire runs the inside blower only. This is why you can put the fan in the ON position and not have the compressor running all the time. If you are getting voltage at the contactor turn the power back on at the compressor, take a sturdy insultaded rod, very dry wood or plastic remember electricity can kill damp wood can conduct electricity. Look for a small bump in the center of the contactor. Press it with the rod and see if the compressor turns on. If it turns on when you press this point on the contactor and off when you release it then the low voltage side of the the contractor is bad. If the bump is pulled in and the unit is not running take the multimeter and carefully check to see if your are getting 240 volts across the two bottom connections and then 240 volts across the top of the connections. If you are getting 240 volts on one side only the the contactor is bad and you need a new one. Turn off ALL POWER this is the breakers for both the compressor and the furnace. Again make sure the power is off. Make a diagram of the wire positions, then disconnect them. Remove the contactor and take it to an electrical supplier or an HVAC parts supplier and get a new one. Reinstall it and reconnect the wires. Turn the power back on and everything should be working again.
Finally, if all does not solve the problem, call in a tech.


Take care
