maybe the best theories are the one we keep to ourselves?



p.s. i think that's a good idea, but the old lady is afraid of me walking down the street just before dusk, if you know what i mean.

But couldn't a guy theoretically stick say some folded up cardboard in the fan relay and make it just run all the time, compressor on or off?

Just until the repair could be made.

this type weather it isn't shutting of much anyway.

many thanks to you my friend (and friends)!!!!
Yeah they're easy to change out, but keep in mind those things can store a charge and make sure the power is off. I also use insulated needlenose pliers to change over the wires. When it comes to electricity I always "treat it like it's hot, even when it's not".

I would just trip the breaker and make it happen, but I'm also not a pussy.


Like I said I'm not recommending just anyone try it.

yup, you're absolutely right. we used to change out network cards in computers for internet years ago.
one of the things that we "had" to do was unplug the power cord, and then press the power button on the comp. 95 percent of the time the tower unit would have a small burst of power left in it. can't ever be too careful.
so if you guys don't hear from me after noon tomorrow.............

Condensing units use a contactor coil that energizes both the fan and compressor at the same time, you can't really have one going without the other. But like you said, it's not going to shut down much when it's this hot out, just bump the thermostat down and let 'er rip for the afternoon and evening.

Also pay attention to the terminals on cap, one set is fan, the middle is the common and the other side is usually marked "herm" for the compressor. You don't want to get those turned around.

One of my instructors at school was really big on HEIL. I have a 5 yr old Armstrong and it's holding 75, although it's everything for it to do that. I really needed a bigger unit for my house.

I jinxed it! It appears my capacitor for the fan has gone bad (fan won't spin, just makes a humming noise).

Question: I can get the fan to spin using the screwdriver trick, but it doesn't get up to the RPMs it does in normal operation. Is it still the cap, or could it be something else?

I have a tech on the way, but I wanted to get opinions from the CP knowledge base.

It was the cap. Service call and part = $90. Not bad. It's cooling down nicely.
