How to Check the Compressor Motor

Continued from page 1

Beneath the terminal cover is found the compressor relay (labeled "A" below), overload protector (labeled "B") and the electrical terminals of the compressor motor.

(A) Relay (B) Overload protector

Remove the compressor relay by pulling it straight off from the compressor.

Pull the relay straight off from the overload protector

Pull the wire off of the side terminal of the relay. It is connected with a slip on connector. Firmly pull the connector, do not pull on the wire. You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers. Inspect the connector and terminal for corrosion. If either is corroded they should be cleaned or replaced.
