Please go there and check by yourself, and answer the following questions.
1. Does the compressor still run? Do you still hear the buzzing sound from the compressor? If so, that's good. That means everything else is OK. Pls check the dual ran capacitor. Chances are that the capacitor for the fan needs to be replaced. Note: Don't let the system run without the compressor fan. It will trigger thermal protection and shut down the compressor for hours. Get a garden hose and pour some water if the system doesn't turn on for diagnosis.
2. If the measured capacitance is within +/-15% of the nominal value, the compressor fan motor could be worn. You need to replace the fan motor. Motor itself is ~$150. You can do it yourself if you have the right tools, in particular the fan hub puller.
3. When the compressor fan stops, does forced air still come out of vents? If not, the root cause is not the compressor fan. Something else has shut down the whole system. I hope it's not this situation -- it can be complicated.
There is plenty of Grainger stores in your area. Just take the old capacitor to the store and ask the associates there to check it for you.
I mentioned a simple way to check the freon level in one of my previous post.
GLTY!
