Puns aside 🙄😉😊🤣😂🤣 This was a great video! Very informative. I was totally baffled at first, didn't have a clue. You walked me through the processes and order of operations very, VERY well Rick, I will be watching this a few times to glean everything from it. I would have sworn the compressor was bad from your voltages and the sound of that thing, who would have thought a short in the evap heaters could cause that amp draw. Just amazing. Make sure I'm right about that. Just a good reminder for me to check and double check everything! So well done.👍

I complained to UEI about their meter not working when it's cold. They blamed me for leaving it in my van at night. I told them I'm in California. Do you mean it can't handle 60°? It's not like I'm in Minnesota! That's is one of only two things I've ever returned to True Tech Tools. The other was the Fieldpiece CAT85, ABSOLUTE JUNK! I swapped it for 'Sauerman CA SI 130', and it runs circles around the CAT85.

the evap fans moving like that tells me something shorted and dropped a leg and half voltage is back-feeding through them to ground. my first thought fan wires in evap rubbed out and blew the fuse, vibration from you made it touch slightly and the motors jump/hum at half voltage like that (120v to case ground through them). when you replaced fuse on roof and cycled a few time it probably arced itself clear, I wonder if there was a firework show and puff of smoke in the cooler lol. that contactor sure looked terribad, yikes!

Great vid as usual! If its not a loose wire feeding the compressor then I suspect the compressor contactor intermittently not connecting all three phases.

HD man a badman innit 👍 My colleague just came across a circuit with 2 compressors on a dual system , I just did a leak repair on it and now the compressor makes a horrible sound and the Kriwan module won't reset . I did my head in but I'm leaning towards either the contactor like u just said , or bad lubrication and cooling whilst it was running low on oil and refrigerant . Still , bit of a mind f innit !
