How to Identify a Burned-out Compressor?
1 Answers
Methods to identify a burned-out compressor: 1. Use a multimeter to measure resistance. Generally, the sum of the resistance between SC and RC should equal the resistance between RS, with minor deviations allowed. However, if a significant difference is detected, the compressor is burned out. 2. If power is supplied but the compressor does not start, and replacing the starting capacitor still does not resolve the issue, the compressor is burned out. Problems with the compressor can also arise from incorrect wiring at the compressor terminals, refrigerant leaks in the system, damaged capacitors, capacitors that do not match the compressor specifications, improper power line wiring, copper plating or rust on the compressor, or abnormal wear of the compressor.
