I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
So, guess i can tell what mine were. I was player A.
1. Rocky Patel Vintage '90 - Robusto
2. RyJ Reserval Real - i forget the size, but as this was the lowest score, who cares :)
And I guess my noob palette has changed quite a bit, because when I first started smoking, I loved the...
sorry for the few updates. but get this. i changed absolutely nothing. reconnected the contactor, and the thermostat wires. put in a new fuse. called for AC from the thermostat. compressor fired right up, fuse didn't pop. I don't get it. maybe after jiggling around the wires, some...
nope. still haven't tried removing the jumper. i gotta reconnect the two wire running to the contactor, than give it a shot.
the blue wire was stripped cuz i wanted to do a continuity test on it to see if it was shorting out on any other tstat wires. i'll tape it.
i'll try what you said...
furnace side thermostat and two wires (red two wire was connected to yellow), white two wire was connected to blue (common)
two wire at conatactor (there a third green wire that's unused. must be pulled back into the sheath at the furnace side)
wires at thermostat
furnace control...
tuffy, did the continuity check. everything looks alright there. no continuity between the two wire. i'm uploading some pics of the furnace, the thermostat, and the compressor as well. link to follow
gotcha. i can snap pics of both furance and tstat when I get home.
I can do a continuity test again as well with you instructions. But I have a question. How can I test for continuity if both ends are removed? I won't be able to have the multimeter on each end of that wire? Should I...
thanks, but this started happening before the thermostat swap.
thermostat is hooked up correctly. I can call for heat and for the blower without issue. I can call for AC (with the 24v wires removed from the contactor, and the blower will turn on (minus the compressor of course))
If I call...
you and me both!
could i test the voltage going to the contactor with a multimeter to see if its reading 24v? If it's not reading right around 24, is that an idicator that the transformer isn't putting out enough juice? (even though I can call the blower and heat?)
thanks!
Jeeper, thanks so much for sending me the contactor. unfortunately it looks like i have further troubles.
I replaced the contactor, fuse still blows on the furnace's board when I call for AC. When I press the button on the contactor, the compressor starts up, and the copper pipe running to the...
