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
thanks. i looked at home depot and lowe's webpage and they don't sell contactors. I'd have to find an HVAC store around here. (which I'm sure will be closed on the weekend!)
I'll see if i can get a model number for ya jeeper. Of course the control panel is nearly inaccessible and i'm...
well yesterday I did a continuity check to see if the contactor control wires (running from my thermostat / furnace to the compressor) might have had a short (from an animal chewing, etc.) I did this from the furnace side and left them connected to the contactor. Continuity check passed, so I...
thanks. it's not a heat pump, and I matched all those wires to the correct color in the furnace as well, so it appears to be hooked up correctly.
so the contactor coil would be in the box that house the circuit breaker that's attached to the condenser (basically the outdoor box near the...
well part of the problem is the wire runs under a deck, most of which I can't see too well. I can check the wire where it basically reaches the compresser (it should terminate near the breaker on the compresser itself, right)
And how exactly would I check to see if its shorting out on itself...
correct, 3 amp fuse. automobile style.
and that was my next guess, perhaps an animal chewed through that wire running to the condensing unit? how would I test that?
and I changed the thermostat after this issue started, because I'm an idiot and thought my thermostat might have gone bad...
Any brothers (or sisters) out there who can help me with an HVAC problem / question?
1st problem has to do with my outdoor AC condenser blowing the fuse on my furnace's control board (not my circuit breaker) every time I try to turn it on.
2nd problem and much less important is my new...
i've had trouble finding some as well. someone bombed me one, and i'm afraid to smoke it until I have others :) Let me know if you find them, or need someone to box split once you do.
