I'm glad you could fix it for the nice lady. Those 2-wire Supco hard starts work, but maybe work too well -- the compressor makes a loud bang sound when it kicks on. The 5-2-1 Compressor Saver kits seem to be less harsh on the compressor when it starts. That's what I noticed on my own old Ruud unit, anyway.

Nothing like the good old helicopter it's just amazes me they will hover over the top of you and don't know what in the world they're looking at other than they're tying up and man's time and that's very very if they would just leave a tech alone it would get done faster I know that from personal experience owning my own HVAC company down here in Sedalia Missouri I just love watching this guy and Miss Molly

That’s exactly what mine did… tried replacing the connectors but they just burn back off after a few weeks again. Ended up having to replace the entire harness and wire set however they have changed to a rubber over mould now which required grinding the pin spades off and grinding off part of the snap cover can for it to fit. Been good as new ever since. It was clear the new style connector was meant to fix exactly this issue. Best $20 on amazon i ever spent.

@potatolew4495 Ай бұрын

These kits are available with the wires long enough to reach the necessary components. What is available in from a professional supply house and Amazon are worlds apart.

@darylfortney8081 Ай бұрын

@@potatolew4495 no doubt but what was on amazon was the official oem replacement part. Probably could have saved a few bucks using something third party

@Garth2011 Ай бұрын

I'd bet that the capacitor function going slowly out of range is what heated up those wire connections which were also on their way out but the cap made it worse. Good thing those wire terminals failed...if not, my guess that almost out of range cap would have made the compressor bite the dust or close to it. Best thing here is a new cap and the repaired wires as both had been out of range for who knows how long. One reason it is a fair idea to check the mf of caps when on a service call, they really need to be within the rated output or else replace them, they are cheap insurance. I like the TERM-LOK kit...I'd use all 3 wires just for good measure. That is a good item to have on the truck all of the time ! Just like any capacitor or contactor.

From a professional standpoint, that would be the worst decision possible. To put a new co pressure into a unit with a 20 year old coil is ridiculous.
