ONLY COMMON POINTS TO BOTH ARE: LINE VOLTAGE TO COND. UNIT;FUSES, BREAKERS, DISCONNECT. LOW VOLTAGE TO CONDENSING UNIT CONTACTOR COIL; WIRING, T-STAT (NEED POWER COMING FROM Y and C), (24vac) in a call for cooling. CHECK FIRST AT AHU OR FURNACE CONTROL BOARD. JUMPER FROM R and Y to bypass t-stat. DO NOT JUMPER FROM "C" TO ANYTHING, THIS WILL BLOW FUSE OR TRANSFORMER. CONTACTOR (I'VE FOUND BUGS STUCK IN CONTACTS TOO) lc

Is the compressor motor and condenser fan motor wired in series or parallel?
series
Why does ac condenser fan not run when car is idling?
The condenser fan is more likely to run when the car is idling. So if it NEVER comes on when idling you definitely have a problem. If the condenser is not cooled, then your compressor could get overloaded. It may be a problem with a relay that is preventing the fan from running - or some other issue.
Why does the compressor keep running when the condenser fan shuts off?
If it`s a heat pump it may be in defrost mode.
What is a contactor for a Central Air Unit?
The relay actuated by the thermostat which starts and stops the compressor and condenser fan in the outdoor unit.
If relocating a home AC compressor-condenser unit how far from the evaporator can it be and could the condenser be remote from the compressor?
in a typical residential split system, the condenser fan is cooling the compressor so i wouldn't expect the same useful life from the compressor if it were not being cooled. you could set up its own fan i suppose. you can separate the evaporator and condenser about 25' (50' total line circuit) off the shelf. farther than that, the manufacturer usually has a larger line set (diameters) to keep the same performance rating. you also get into oil drainback issues, i.e. you have to pay attention in sloping the lineset to drain oil back to the compressor.
Electrical parts of refrigeration and air conditioning?
compressor,hosses/lines,expansion vavle,evaporator coil,condenser coil,fan
If my Condenser fan didn't work for a day could that ruin my air conditioner?
Yes it would cause your compressor needs that fan to cool down the refrigerant going through your condensing coils.. Without that fan it would cause high head pressure and damage the compressor as well..
Why does outside fan run constantly even if the thermostat is turned off inside?
Outer fan cools condenser coil as well as compressor. Even though the cycle is turned OFF the compressor needs to be cooled continuously.
Why does your heat pump keep blowing breakers?
There is a short somewhere. Probably the condenser fan motor or the compressor. Time to have it checked out by a competent, trusted techenician.
If the condenser fan motor goes out and the unit continues what will happen?
overheating of the c.motor and will turn to stop or burn the winding of the compressor motor due to over heating
What causes an air conditioner capacitor to go bad?
1. A bad compressor. 2. A bad condenser fan. 3. Heat. 4. Old age...........
Where is the condenser fan relay for a 2002 Kia Sportage?
The Condenser Fan Relay and the A/C Cut Relay on a Kia Sportage are located together under the dashboard on the passenger side of the vehicle. They are just aft of the heater blower motor. The Comndenser Fan Relay is the 20amp relay and the A/C Cut (compressor) relay is the 52amp relay.
