Air Conditioning Capacitor Replacement

필요한 것

  1. Air Conditioning Capacitor Replacement, Diagnosis Step: 1 단계, 이미지 1개 중 1개
    • Turn on the A/C

    • If the unit turns on but does not spin, use a screwdriver to spin the fan blade.

    • If the blade spins freely, the capacitor is bad. If the blade does not spin freely, there is another issue, and a professional should be called.

    • Turn off the power to the unit. This may mean flipping a switch or pulling a plug.

    • If the disconnect is not located next to the unit you will have to locate the breaker. You can make sure power is removed by trying to turn the unit on. If the unit does not turn on power has been removed and it is safe to work.

    • Remove the door screws and door from the A/C.

    • It is only necessary to remove the bottom screws, but it is easier if the top screws are removed as well.

    • Electric shock risk. Read the following bullets carefully before proceeding.

    • To displace energy stored in the capacitor, take a screwdriver and place the tip of the screwdriver against the wall

    • Tap the rod of the screwdriver against the metal connector that connects the wire and the capacitor

    • Before removing the wires, take a note of where each colored wire connects to.

    • Take a pair of needle nose pliers and place the tip around one of the wire connections to the capacitor.

    • Pull the wire upwards until the wire comes loose from the capacitor. It may help to use leverage against the capacitor.

    • Repeat for all 4 wires

    • Reconnect the wires to the capacitor prongs in the same position they were located on the previous capacitor.

    • This can be done with pliers or by hand.

    • The most common setup is to have the brown wire on "FAN," the yellow wire on "HERM," and the red and purple wires on "C."
