  • @mxslick50
    @mxslick50 Před měsícem +3

    Most likely not a surge (which would have fried the control board if it was strong enough to take out both motors) but more likely one of two things: One, an extended brownout or two, spiders got into the windings of the motors and shorted them out.

    • @JimAlderson-cn6ek
      @JimAlderson-cn6ek Před měsícem +2

      Would agree probably not a surge but in hvac first rule don't rule out any thing and if a brown out why not the compressor to witch is most aseptable to brown outs best advice is wat curtis is doing don't over think it replace wats wrong check all tolerances and go home relax and have a beer

    • @mxslick50
      @mxslick50 Před měsícem +1

      @@JimAlderson-cn6ek Why not the compressor? Because it has a built-in overload, wheres the blower and condenser motors usually don't. Yes, it is more susceptible but it will cycle on and on with the overload, as the other two won't, they'll sit there and cook.
