My AC capacitor died out at 10:00 PM. The compressor was still working but the fan couldn’t get enough juice to get the initial spin. It was 90 degrees outside and I couldn’t get a new part until the morning. I kept the Ryobi fan on low and it was just enough to keep the main fan on a gentle spin. The main fan always had enough spin to get it going when the AC turned on.
