•
Check all terminals, wires & connections for loose or burned wires and connections. Check contactor and 24 Volt coil. Check
capacitor connections & check capacitor with capacitor tester.
•
If ohm meter reads 0 (short) resistance from C to S, S to R, R to C or from anyone of one of these terminals to ground
(shorted to ground), compressor is bad.
