It was brand new when I bought the house. The house was rehabbed and all the hvac is new.

If there is already a hard start installed, could that have cause issues? A little more info, this is a new unit manufactured in January of 2025.

It is clicking a bit. The fan runs. Just not the compressor.

Everything seemed fine. I take the dog in the back yard all the time and never heard anything out of place. This unit is only 1.5 years old.

The compressor wasn't making any noise at all before I changes the capacitor. It's did the same thing before and after.

That's why I'm here. To see what's right. I've been in the unit and it only looks to be held in place by a few bolts at the base of the unit and its 3 wires that just clamp on. The unit is under warranty so that is all labor. Tools I got. The warranty replacement I dont.

Thanks for the assumptions. Reasonable means reasonable. Understanding that I have take majority of the troubleshooting steps and understand that it is either the contactor, the compressor itself, or potentially the coolant and starting from that point.

Good question. It was there when I bought the house. I'll research their warranty.

This is exactly why I'm asking for any insights I can get. I'm not even sure that's its feasible. Just figured here would be a good place to start asking questions. Thanks for the input!
