Hey Everyone,

I noticed today that my A/C isn’t working on any setting. Lo thru Hi, there’s no air blowing. However, the fan works by itself with the A/C off. Not sure if this is a blower resistor, motor, or compressor clutch problem. Any ideas?

So, to be clear, the fan runs fine until you turn the air conditioner on, and then the fan stops working entirely? As in, it’s not blowing air and you can’t hear it running anymore?
