Why am I not getting power to my ac compressor?
Check for Power The first and most obvious thing to do when your compressor won’t start is to make sure that the unit is receiving power.

Why is my Coleman air conditioner not running?
When the air temperature rises above a set point, the thermostat activates a switch to provide power to the fan and compressor. If the thermostat is… defective, it may prevent the compressor from running. If you determine that the compressor is at fault, replace it. The compressor itself might be defective. However, this is not usually the case.
What is resistance of Coleman Mach air conditioner?
Use an ohm meter to check resistance between each of the posts on the compressor, marked C, S and R. All under 10 ohms. Set the meter accordingly. Check each post to ground.
What is the capacitor on a Coleman air conditioner?
Follow the S wire back from the compressor, it will land on the capacitor Capacitor is metal, tin like looking thing. Ok. Then what Draw a diagram of the wire connections to the capacitor, mark the wires. Then making sure the power is still off. Short the two sides of the run capacitor with a metal screw driver blade. Remove the capacitor Oops.
What to do when your air conditioner fan is not running?
If the compressor is running, but the fan motor is not running, the fan motor or the fan motor capacitor are likely at fault.

Use an ohm meter to check resistance between each of the posts on the compressor, marked C, S and R. All under 10 ohms. Set the meter accordingly. Check each post to ground.
