The unit has a failing outdoor fan motor and showing a low freon charge, which is indication of a leak possible indoor coil needs replaced. This has a discontinued Freon. The contactor coil on the 24 V side was going bad while testing the ams would jump down to, .80 ohms, which was interrupting the 24 V system shutting the condensing side down. I found it taking 6 A when the contractor got sucked in on the 24 V. I replaced the contactor and recommended replacing the system do it to its age and pending issues. I told the homeowner that these repairs today could get applied towards the new system if the homeowner moves forward within 30 days
