professional input
I appreciate this forum. This is my first participation, and I have a question. The weather has been really hot in the past two days. I have a "CHOICE" compressor built by "YORK", approximatley 4 years old. FAU is working however, the compressor makes a single click but does not work. I suspect that the High Pressure Switch is off, however, I have not been able to locate the switch. I looked in the electrical panel and even removed the fan but still unable to locate the switch. No loose wires.. assming the problem is caused by the switch. I have tried YORK Web Site for diagram of the unit, but could not find anything. could it be the capacitor or anything else? Any advise

thermal overload is a protective device that locks out compressor when it gets hot from being low on freon,dirtycoils ect.if it is a high press switch its either a red button or it resets when you disconnect power to unit.

Sounds like maybe the single click could be your contactor just pulling in.. maybe capacitor or even breaker or time delays fuses,or maybe sevice call 220 volts remember good luck..

The thermal overload could be going or is gone.
Your contactor could be pulling in one side or two sides only, if it is triple phase.
You need to make sure all wiring is correct through the contactor, cap, and compressor terminals.
I have heard the same thing happen only to find out that they had to much draw along the run winding. They have to be wired correctly that means finding all problems assoc. with the wiring.

for someone who's too hot tonite anyway!
