If a compressor that typically runs at 14 amps is drawing 60 amps, it may indicate a serious issue such as a short circuit, a malfunctioning motor, or excessive friction due to worn bearings or a blocked condenser. This excessive current draw can lead to overheating, potential damage to the compressor, and tripping of circuit breakers. It's crucial to shut down the system immediately and have a qualified technician diagnose and address the problem to prevent further damage.
If a 240-volt system is only drawing 12 volts, the probable issue is a voltage drop caused by a poor connection, damaged wire, or loose connection within the circuit. Check for any loose or corroded connections, damaged wires, or faulty components in the system that could be causing the voltage drop.
I don't believe so. I'm 60% sure, but I might be wrong.
An overloaded circuit breaker for a refrigerator can be caused by multiple factors, such as a malfunctioning compressor drawing more current than normal, a damaged power cord or outlet, or a short circuit within the refrigerator's electrical components. It is important to have a qualified technician inspect the refrigerator to identify and address the specific cause of the overloading.
I don't think their is a verb for realistic but I could be wrong
Wrong Shape
The lights dimming are a sign that it's drawing too much electricity in relation to the amount of electricity that's being supplied to your house overall. The compressor trying to start is drawing too much current. It could be that the compressor is locked up. It could also have a bad start or run capacitor.
Generally, because something is wrong with it. Maybe a bearing went out, maybe the compressor is just worn, maybe it was damaged because of a refrigerant overcharge, compressor oil overcharge, or the wrong type of compressor oil used. Could be a number of reasons.
There is something wrong with the compressor or there is no refrigerant in the system. Have it checked out. Goodluck Joe
Compressor locked up.
When the compressor comes back on does it stay on?
I believe it is normally 8 AM but I could be wrong.
Sounds like the a/c compressor is locking up and burning both the a/c clutch and the belt..........

You will first need to know what is wrong with it because it could be as big as a compressor or as small as a loose wire................
Best way to access the AC compressor is through the wheel well. The panels behind the tire come off fairly easily. Depending on what is wrong with it you could replace , the clutch, with the compressor still on the car. Not an easy job but doable with the proper tools.
Are the rear brakes working normally?
does the fan work? is the system charged with the refrigerant?
