9 Basic test procedure 

 

9.1 Defective compressor   

Compressors are single phase, depending on the model unit. All compressor motors are permanent 

split capacitor type using only a running capacitor across the start and run terminal.     

      All compressors are internally spring mounted and externally mounted on rubber isolators. 

 

9.1.1 Compressor wiring test   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove compressor terminal box cover and disconnect wires from terminals. Using an 

ohmmeter, check continuity across the following: 

Terminal "C" and "S" - no continuity   

- Open winding - replace compressor. 

Terminal "C" and "R" - no continuity   

- Open winding - replace compressor. 

Terminal "R" and "S" - no continuity   

- Open winding - replace compressor. 

 

9.1.2 Ground test   

Use an ohmmeter to set on its highest scale. Touch one lead to the compressor body (clean point of 

contact as a good connection is a must) and the other probe in turn to each compressor terminal (see 

Figure 2.) If a reading is obtained, the compressor is grounded and must be replaced.
