    Not a diagnosis (I'm not an HVAC guy) but that sounds like it could be a bad start/run capacitor. This is a relatively cheap ($20-$30) part that everyone with central air should keep a spare one of on-hand. Changing it out is a 10-15 minute job even for an amateur with no special tools required.

    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

    For $20-30, I'll give that a try! Where would one source something like that?
