The fan on the a/c unit won't engage On its own....if I memfRica rig it it will come on and stay on as long as the temp is low enough to keep it spinning
What part is broken and how much $$ am I looking at sinking

I assume you're referring to the outside unit or the compressor. first thing to check for on the fan would be the capacitor. If the windings are going bad on the fan it may need to be replaced if the Cap checks out.
Fan would run you prob 100-200 diy. a replacement capacitor is usually 10-20 bucks. I'd swap the capacitor to rule that out first.

Yep definitely try to swap capacitor first. Seems like those are the most often the culprit. Had to replace ours on a three year old system. Take the old one off but kill the power to the system first at the breaker box.

Whatever you do do not call one hour heating and air. They wanted to charge me $450 to replace capacitor.

Re: A/c is tearing up ball park of what I should be paying?
Thanks for everything guys! Replaced this morning, and knock on wood still working great..
I was still hesitant to attempt the repair myself, worried about screwing up an expensive system worse and worried about getting electrocuted.
being in a similar boat this morning as MShunter...every place I looked was in the 400 range...I said screw it I'll do it myself and hope for the best...
I called around this morning and figured out who the local dealer was for the model a/c .. found them....was out the door with taxes $32.00
10-15 min labor....fixed
