1st floor unit: The vents are blowing non-cold air, but the outside compressor is not working. The fan is not turning. I checked the breaker box switch --- its on. I checked the outside A/C breaker box. That is on too. The unit is around 9 years old. What could be wrong? The unit is a Carrier. The 2nd floor unit works fine(they are both separate units).

typo earlier: "I know the compressor was not making any humming sound earlier"

Sounds like the outdoor unit (the condenser) has a bad fan motor. Not uncommon. Don't run the system like this or you will be buying a new compressor. Very expensive. Get it repaired by a licensed contractor.
This is called a "split" system. The circulation fan in the indoor portion moves the air for the heating and cooling and sounds like it's working fine.
The outdoor part is the condensor and has the compressor unit and a cooling fan that pulls outdoor air through a radiator coil. The fan that is not working is what moves the air through this radiator. Without this fan running, the compressor will overheat and burn out very soon.

cut system off wait 8 hours . go outside to condenser and have someone turn on ac (Note you may have to wait 5 to 7 minutes if there is a time delay on your unit) listen for a single click which would be the contactor starting the unit. if you dont here nothing problem could be anywhere tstat, safety switch,low voltage wiring, contactor coil. if you here the compressor come on without the fan you will know its the fan motor, fan capacitor or power wiring to fan

does the outside unit humm? turn it off see if u can turn the fan blades with something . if not the fan motor is frozen up most likely.if the fan turns freely,could be the start run capacitor, if not compressor, worst case new 1

I even have been in Angels Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Petco Park or perhaps though the call is of that sauna in Miami in crimson Sox kit. each and every person treats you with admire/ignores you, different than the yank followers. there is purely too lots history there. It makes it relaxing. As on your journey, i ought to on no account understand why a Yankee fan would seem at Fenway for a crimson Sox--Tigers recreation in Yankee kit. positioned on Tiger kit for Heaven's sake. of path you would be the main loathed guy or woman interior the park. fairly wearing a Yankee hat interior the city of Boston isn't the brightest of strikes as a universal rely.

unless you purchased/ or had a 10 year warranty
you just bought a new outside system (worst case scenario)
get a tech to check it - could be something you have overlooked
and if you do have to get a new one - it will be vastly
superior to a 9 year old model -
best of luck - get your appt today !
