Is the brown wire from EasyStart connected to the compressor R winding only?
On the top
of the compressor there is a cover held by a single hex nut that looks similar to the one
pictured below:
Some caps have the windings marked on the top as shown while others have markings
inside the cap. Some compressors also stamp a letter on the compressor housing to indicate
the connections.
Use these markings to identify the color wire your compressor uses for the “R”
connection. This wire must connect to the brown wire from EasyStart and is usually white in
many installations. Follow the wire from the compressor to the electrical box and verify that
is connects to the brown wire from EasyStart in the electrical box.
The next step will require identification of the “S” wire. Note the color of the “S” wire
and follow it through the wiring harness to the run capacitor.
