RE: nordyne hard start outdoor unit

Hi Robert, I got the new contactor this morning, I installed it and had my daughter start the AC while I watched the outside unit. The contact bar litteraly vibrated back and forth and burnt up, disintigrated. I did the test from your last response and have 24v in the indoor unit and outside at the ...

RE: nordyne hard start outdoor unit

I ordered a new 621661 contactor from you guys.
Does a transformer control the voltage to the thermostat? Is it in the indoor unit?

Thanks
Rick

RE: nordyne hard start outdoor unit

did another test on the new contactor and got 15.3 volts across the 2 wires, contactor wouldn't engage till I pushed it in.

Edit:
I cleaned up the contacts on the old contactor and reinstalled it and the outside unit starts right up.

RE: nordyne hard start outdoor unit

I put on a new capacitor and hooked up volt meter. I have 240 at the bottom and when I push in the contact the top reads 244 and everything starts. Went in and turned on the thermostat and all I had was that vibrating humm sound then all of a sudden the unit started. I let it run to cool the house d...

RE: nordyne hard start outdoor unit

I just went and turned the thermostate on and temp down to start the A/C and the outside unit just humms and the fan doesn't turn and no sound from the indoor unit of the freon going through the system.
A capacitor only cost $5.00 I'll put another one on and go from there.

RE: Loose compressor nordyne

after further inspectionof all the bolts they look like they rusted in half. the only solution would be to drill out the remaining bolt and rethread the nuts. I'm assuming the nuts are welded to the bottom pan. the problem is getting down inside there to do it. the part number for the bolts is 60028...

The other day I watched the unit when it started and the compressor would move on the bottom pan and saw that 1 bolt was out layi...
