    Always a good idea the check the compressor with the wires disconnected at the compressor. The wiring from contactor to compressor could have a problem. Hate to change out a compressor only to find out it's a wire/connection giving Meg ohm reading...

    Hey Man thanks for sharing knowledge.
    I’m new in at this job so you can imagine how many questions etc
    And i have a couple of questions.
    Like” I see you have contractors and capacitors ready at hand, which ones should I buy
    40/5
    30/5 ?

    • @LexVance
      @LexVance  Před 6 dny

      It depends on what's in the unit. You have to look inside the condenser and see what microfarads the capacitor is and go back with the same. If there's a 35/5 capacitor, you'll have to put in a new 35/5 to replace it if it's bad.

    Never fails, ya don't check the compressor windings before swapping out the contactor - and sure enough....she's dead.
    Also happens when ya get the wiring, capacitors, and start kit all really nice and neat and cable managed....dead compressor.

  • @joshuapoche5137

    The contactor was causing compressor to single phase. The single phase is what took out the compressor.

    What is the rule about using a double pole double throw contactor switch in place of a double pole single throw. There was a tech one time that went all over a property replacing contactor when they were bad he would take out a double pole single throw and replace it with a double pole double throw.
