Congrats! Glad you got it going.

I would, however, not agree with your statement #1. The outside unit has no bearing on the amount of air moving in the house, but would affect the temperature. The air handler fan (inside the house) moves the air in the house. I totally agree with your other statements. Yeah, picky, I know.

Now you've got me thinking (and that's dangerous!) that I oughta go out and check my condenser coils for dirt.

Anyway, good work! And you saved your neighbor probably a couple hundred bucks. Hope he springs for some beer, or better yet, pellets for your stove.

Thanks, you are right. I fixed my first statement.

Next, I cleaned the Evaporator A Coil with the Evaporator cleaner that does not need rinsing
Also vacuumed the return air filter and vacuumed out the Evaporator and fan housing.
See detail and pics in link below.

After I cleaned the Evaporator A Coil it is Still not working! 30 Amp breaker in main panel is still tripping.
So I replaced Contactor.
