I arrived to do a diagnostic on ac customer stated that he believed the unit was out of refrigerant that the outside unit fan was spinning but it wasn't cooling. After arriving to outside unit I found fan running but compressor not running. I Checked capacitor and found herm side reading 8 uF rated 45uF. So I Replaced capacitor and started unit. I Found that the system was over charged so I removed refrigerant to acquire desired superheat. System utilizes 410-a with a piston. At time of my departure system operational with a delta of 18 degrees.
