So here’s behind my thermostat for colors. Based on this I don’t think black needs to be connected to anything at the unit. White goes to aux heat...
It checks out. So I’m at a loss. I tried measuring the resistance across the coils and they seem ok. So either no Freon or there’s a control wire...
They offer a cheat way to do it using the resistance function. Doing that now
No the limit on the meter I have is 5 microfarad. So it’ll read the fan side but that’s it.
There’s a drier. I’m having issues measuring the capacitance of the compressor side of the capacitors. So either my capacitors are bad or I’m...
contactor switch works when told to energize so.... I’m thinking potentially bad compressor. Crap!
Nice! It’s a blue button but it works. Never realized that!
Hmm I’ll look.
This is a pretty dumb system as it’s old. I should be able to turn on then put the disconnect in while next to the system to hear it kick on. I’ll...
Last time the compressor shorted to ground and that nearly tripped my main breaker when it happened. I have a good meter (Fluke) but it doesn’t...
gonna check this after a couple meetings I have this morning. The fan kicks on and I THINK the compressor is trying to. Makes me wonder if the...
I’m actually wondering if it may be the capacitor. It’s not bulged but I set it to cool and the pipe to the house isn’t cold like it should be....
Figured out something else which is its flashing an error code on the external unit which is for External lockout. Guessing there’s a short or...
Today it finally got warm enough to kick the AC in and it didn’t do squat. As far as I was aware the heat pump was working when cold but it’s...
