rattling noise ? Either way, it's sounds like your compressor is in trouble.

If you do it sounds like to compressor is bad.

Title: Re: compressor problem vendo 63 to run noise aeaaeea trips breaker Post by: johnieG on March 26, 2011, 06:24:38 pm Hmm, not good.........Either the compressor's locked up, or the start/run relay is chattering due to a heavy current load or burnt contacts, to test the compressor, get a 1/4HP 3-in-1 start/run/booster & install in in place of the original start/run relay on the side of the compressor under the tin cover. Using a test plug/cord, try to power only the compressor ( don't worry about the condenser fan at this point).
If the compressor starts & runs normally, then you found yourself a bad start/run relay, if it trips the overload in the 3-in-1 (or the house circuit breaker) then the compressor's locked & time to replace Title: Re: compressor problem vendo 63 to run noise aeaaeea trips breaker Post by: stuntpilot on March 26, 2011, 06:44:37 pm When all else fails and you want to try a hail mary, give it a whack with your hammer when it's trying to start. :biggrin:
Not too hard though! it's worked for me many times with a stuck compressor. |
