Air Conditioning Problems

We are hearing popping and crackling sounds from our unit outside and smelt an electrical smell. What could this be. When we turned off the unit, it stopped making the sound.

   Turn off breaker, open service panel, check wires for burns, check fan motor for smell or black dust  which could mean motoris under heavy stress or burning out, also check coils, that they are not clogged and overworking the fan.

 

The AC is on automatically, but only hot air is coming out. The outside compressor doesn't work. Please let us know what maybe a problem. Thanks
