Jerry & Bob thanks for your comments.

Dave,

First unplug the machine from the power, then when you hot wire a compressor you take all the wires off the terminals on the compressor, then you take a power cord with some wire clips on the ends and put one clip on the "C" or common side terminal, put the second one on the "R" terminal of the compressor, then take a jumper wire and put it on the "S" terminal.  

Now when you plug the machine back in, you momentarly take the other end of the jumper wire from the "S" terminal and touch it to the "R" terminal then take the jumper wire back off the "R" terminal.  In reality you are doing the same thing that the start relay is doing.

You can do this one or two times as long as you unplug the machine after each time.  Remember if the compressor does not start after a couple of seconds unplug the machine or you could melt the wires and you could get hurt, but if the compressor does start and runs you now know that the compressor is ok and you have to look elsewarefor the problem.

This process take all the guess work out the of the picture. (such as the overload, start relay, thermostat, bad wire connections).

If the compressor doesn't start it is probably bad.

Also this procedure is not as bad to do as it might sound, and with a little caution this is a sure fire way to test a compressor.

Hope this helps a little. '<img'>

I have seen terminals blow-out of compressors before. So be careful and keep your face out from in front of the terminals. Extending your jumper wires around to the side of the compressor would be good, so if anything bad was to happen. Good luck.
