  • Testing your compressor will alleviate a lot of uncertainty you may have in determining if your compressor is operation/functioning properly.

    • @johnconnor7501

      Pretty sure it was a run cap. A bad start cap usually explodes because potential relay went bad and you would have to replace that too.

    Thanks ,that’s a great job. I suggest a proper insulation resistance test should have been carried out with an insulation resistance tester (merger). More so you didn’t specify the expected normal resistance of the compressor to serve as an expected datum for comparison.

He said on blower motor if I disconect the cool terminal wire on circuit board and connect the bottom black wire to cool terminal that ( this is what I'm not sure what he said and needed to talk to him ) if it works ( or doesn't ) that means board is bad NOT the motor ?? OR is it the other way around ?? And yes replaced capacitor . Still the same barely running the blower not full speed and shuts down after a while with new capacitor

  • @russellswansen6487
    @russellswansen6487 2 года назад

    I ran the tests as you outlined and the ohms added up as you said they should, no shorts either; however, the compressor will not run and makes an intermittent short buzzing sound as though it is trying to start, but does not start. The capacitor also tested good but I replaced it anyway. So I am confident the capacitor is good. Any thoughts on what is wrong?
