check the capictor look to see if sweled up into a dome on top if so bad also check to see if wires are burnt at compressor also check with ohm meter to see if shorted to groun pump needs 227 volts to run check the contactor for pits i most likley bet the mexican capicitor is bad check the capictor look to see if sweled up into a dome on top if so bad also check to see if wires are burnt at compressor also check with ohm meter to see if shorted to groun pump needs 227 volts to run check the contactor for pits i most likley bet the mexican capicitor is bad

To clarify, the compressor and fan will run in defrost mode. The compressor and fan runs to dry out the air blowing onto the windshield.
Now if the condenser fan runs in "heat" you may have a problem with the fan relay or the main controller.
According to several Oldsmobile discussion groups online, the inline fuse is behind the glove box taped to another inline fuse. The wire is actually pink and black.
This unit uses a dual run capacitor. There is no start capacitor involved.
The dual run capacitor is possible weak, also check all the electrical connections for tight fitting connections with can cause motor/compressor overheating. To test a capacitor properly you need the proper test meter capable of reading uf readings(within 6% of the stated rating on the capacitor) "C" common to "F" fan and "C" to "Herm" terminal, the higher rating for compressor and the lower for the outdoor fan. [(example= 25/3uf 370v) 25uf=compressor, 3uf=fan motor.]
if clicking off and on I would say . the relay is working but the compressor is not starting . if comp will not start ( no cold ) the fan by the comp runs when the comp runs / but if comp does not start the fan does not know .. if comp runs the lines one is small and other is larger . the small one gets hot enough not to touch.it . not hot no cool . I think you have a compressor problem .. **** hope this helps . get back with me .. //mm
ur compressor is trying to start but the safety is turning it off may have a bad compressor but try this first might get it working again -(safety click sound) disconnects power when compressor gets to hot or is drawing to many amps--stuck--comp gets hot unplug unit and clean with a vacuum carefully under where comp and fan are this is the condenser area after cleaning or 1 hr plug in and check for start and that condenser fan is working may be reason for overheating-if still not working compressor needs service
On that problem I would first turn off the power source to the unit. Check the Capacitor, thermostat, windings between all the 3 terminals on the compressor.And then see if any terminal on the compressor shows a short of the winding to the outer housing. There are so many other possibilities, because I don't see your make or model, so this is a suggestion for the solution. Thanks, Sea Breeze.
is the compressor fan working and the freezer fan working also? if you have a meter you can do a amp draw on the comp.,it sounds like the comp. being so hot your coils under the frig. are real dirty or the comp is about to lra out(burn out) let me know more-mike
