Fire ants in the contactor.

A common problem...they're attracted to the ozone or something on the contacts and throw their tiny bodies under the contacts. Eventually, enough build up and insulate the connection, keeping the compressor and condenser fan from running.

Good prevention is to spray insecticide around the condenser unit.
