Where in town are you? I always have good luck with Chris at Breeze Control. In cypress NW Houston area. If the compressor is not even trying to come on it is probably just the capacitor.

What ragoo said, go poke the fan with a stick and see if it kicks on. If so capacitor is an easy fix if you can find somewhere to sell it to you. If not we use Nash mechanical and have been happy with them

Thanks guys, I flipped the breaker and turned the system off let it sit for 5 minutes and turned back on the condenser kicked back in. It's cooling now but will keep your refs for future reference.

the capacitors are mounted inside the condenser fan outside. They are probably getting hot and swelling. Might be why they weren't helping to boost the amps needed to start the compressor.
