A/C Not Blowing Cold Air But Running

What happens here

Locate the service panel on the side of the AC unit. Use a 5/16-inch or 1/4-inch socket wrench (as in the video, where a 5/16-inch would not fit in one spot, so a small ratchet was used) to remove the sheet metal screws securing the panel. Carefully remove the panel to gain access to the capacitor and other electrical components.
