•Due to a possibility of personal injury or property damage, always contact an authorized technician for servicing or

repair of this air conditioner.

•Refer to Service Manual for operation, disassembly, testing, and troubleshooting information.

•Refer to Repair Parts List 20110801 for part number information.

CAUTION

All safety information must be followed as provided in Service Manual for this device.

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to unit and discharge capacitor

through a 10,000 ohm resistor before servicing, unless testing requires power. Wires removed during

disassembly must be replaced on proper terminals to ensure correct grounding and polarization.

Illustration Component Test Procedure Results

Compressor Check resistance of compressor windings:

Attach ohmmeter between winding C and S:

Attach ohmmeter between winding C and R:

Check compressor for grounds:

Attach one ohmmeter lead to compressor

case. Attach second ohmmeter lead to C,

then S, then R terminals on compressor:

NOTE: See Testing Procedures section of Service

Manual for additional compressor tests.

Ohmmeter indicates <10 Ωbut >0 Ω

Ohmmeter indicates open on each terminal.

Fan motor Check fan motor for grounds:

Attach one ohmmeter lead to fan motor case.

Attach second ohmmeter lead to each fan

motor lead, one at a time:

Check for continuity of fan motor windings:

Attach one ohmmeter lead to common fan

motor lead. Attach second lead to remaining

fan motor leads, one at a time:

Ohmmeter indicates open on each lead.

Ohmmeter indicates continuity between all

windings.

Capacitor Resistance (highest scale), with power removed.

Discharge capacitor and disconnect all attached

wires.

Attach ohmmeter leads between C terminal

and H terminal on capacitor:

Reverse leads on C and H terminals:

Attach ohmmeter leads between C terminal

and F terminal on capacitor:

Reverse leads on C and F terminals:

Overload protector Resistance

Ensure temperature of protector is below

142°F ±16°F (61°C ±9°C). Check resistance

across leads:

Heat thermostat to 257°F ±9°F (125°C ±5°C):

Cool thermostat to 142°F ±16°F (61°C ±9°C):

Continuity is indicated between circuit board

terminals and component connections.

If continuity is not indicated, replace wiring

before replacing electronic control board.
