SERVICING

S-7 CHECKING CONTACTOR AND/OR RELAYS

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE!

Disconnect ALL power before servicing or installing. Multiple power sources may be present. Failure to do so may cause property damage, personal injury

or death.

The compressor contactor and other relay holding coils are wired into the low or line voltage circuits. When the control circuit is energized, the coil pulls in the normally open contacts or opens the normally closed contacts. When the coil is de-energized, springs return the contacts to their normal position.

NOTE: Most single phase contactors break only one side of the line (L1), leaving 115 volts to ground present at most internal components.

1.Remove the leads from the holding coil.

2.Using an ohmmeter, test across the coil terminals.

If the coil does not test continuous, replace the relay or contactor.

WARNING

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY.

Disconnect Electrical Power Supply:

1.Disconnect the wire leads from the terminal (T) side of the contactor.

2.With power ON, energize the contactor.

1.Disconnect wires leads from terminals 2 and 4 of Fan Relay Cooling and 2 and 4, 5 and 6 of Fan Relay Heating.

2.Using an ohmmeter, test between 2 and 4 - should read open. Test between 5 and 6 - should read continuous.

3.With power ON, energize the relays.
