  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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...

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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...

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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...

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    no, the blue was unused on my old thermostat. on the new thermostat, the red / power wire slot is jumpered to the common slot.

    I understand. I'll give that a try when I get home as well. Thanks again. Hopefully its nothing more than a short.

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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...

    Any HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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 HVAC brothers (or sisters) out there?

    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...
