Charging system suddenly quit.

Thanks for the offer with the furnace. I'm an electrician and an electronics technician so I'm comfortable with working on it. But i learned a long time ago its best to ask for help first than learn the hard way.

Its a GeoFlex geothermal water source heat pump. Last year it had a freon leak. Got that fixed and it worked fine till the season ended. Thing is the compressor has always been "hard starting". Dims lights and can be heard. 2 contractors have said it normal and no issue. Started it 2 days ago and all was fine. This morning I found out it had tripped its 40amp breaker. That had happened last year before the freon leak. Reset the breaker and it ran fine all day. But winter is coming and I don't trust it.

Can't seem to upload manual but below is a link to it in Dropbox.
