Title: Cavalier 51 compressor Post by: 90grad on September 05, 2005, 03:51:25 pm Guys,
Here's another question. My Cavalier 51 has the old style compressor and I am going to install a new wiring harness for safety. Here's a photo of the electrical leads going to the bottom of the compressor ball. Do these just pop out with pliers or a screwdriver or is there some trick I should know? Also, how do you know what wire is what? I didn't want to do anything without some sort of information. Thanks in advance. Wayne Title: Cavalier 51 compressor Post by: 90grad on September 06, 2005, 09:28:33 am I just got off the phone with Steve from Funtronics. Two more parts and $55 later, I think I have the answers.
1. The hubs should unscrew. However, he wasn't sure, so does anyone know? 2. They are (from left to right), Common-Start-Run 3. Since this is kind of a weird set-up, I had to buy a start relay/capacitor/overload relay (part 9b in his catalog). This way, I can use the new wiring harness. 4. Then, the thermostats on this machine are 3-wire models. So, I had to get a new thermostat (2-wire) to mate with the new harness. 5. I also learned the machine was built in March of 1953.

Attached is the wiring diagram for your Frigidaire Refrigeration Unit. You'll notice the three-wire thermostat. I also remember the caps unscrewing; I also think there's a nut that holds the wire onto the stud. Title: Cavalier 51 compressor Post by: 90grad on September 06, 2005, 12:49:50 pm Thanks Jim!!!
