I went to this call yesterday, compressor and condenser fan were hot to the touch, really hot! A word of advice to those learning the basics. Shut off the power, cool the compressor with water and allow it cool before the next steps of troubleshooting. A hot compressor off on internal overload can look like it has open windings.
