My central air will not run. The fan in the house is running but the outside unit is not running.?

Question

It is a 2 year old Rheem. Clean. Seems to have no electricity. Can't find a restart button.

Answer 1

is there a fuse box outside on the air unit we have central air and when the fuse blows there our unit doesnt run just the fan

Answer 2

First answer is good. It easy to check.

Check the little wires from the house to the unit outside (Voltmeter), be sure they not get cut, broke or weed-eater get them. Next, inside the unit is a Relay that can go bad. After that I would check the Starter Capacitor (Be careful these things can shock).

It could be low on Freon, but, if it been running and cold this year, I doubt that one.

Answer 3

Two likely causes: thermostat problem, and breaker problem.  The outside unit is fed by a cable from an outside-mounted breaker box; see if it has power or has tripped.
