Black wire
Follow the black wire from the compressor into the
electrical box to where is connects to the purple wire pointed to
by the orange arrow in image 8. There is an end splice connector
located at the junction of these two wires. Cut off this end splice
connector. Strip about ½ inch (1.27cm) of insulation from both the
black and purple wires. Strip ½ inch (1.27cm) from the BLACK wire
from EasyStart and twist the three wires together. Securely crimp
the three wires together using a new end splice as shown in image
9.
Removing existing start components
Some systems may use a start cap (orange arrow in image
10) and PTCR (green arrow in image 10). Previous owners may
have also installed a hard start kit that replaces these components.
These components form a circuit that connect from the yellow
wire side of the run capacitor to the red wire side of the run
capacitor.
Image 7 shows a single red wire connecting to the run
capacitor. If your system has only this single red wire then there
are no start components in your system so skip the rest of this
section.
If there is another wire connected to the red wire group on
the run capacitor (other than the orange wire from EasyStart),
remove the wire and disconnect it from the component it connects to. If the end of the wire is directly
connected to the PTCR (such as a different style PTCR than shown in image 10), disconnect the PTCR
wire on the other side of the PTCR from the start capacitor as well.
