The start capacitor is going bad. Replace it before it ruins the motor in the compressor.

When you say Montana the first thing I thought was, does it have a crank case heater? Is it actually working? May need a start cap installed, need to check amps at start up, possibly nearing locked rotor. Fan works every time?

You must not have both sides of power going to the unit. I will try to tell you how that unit is wired. I don't know what kind of hard start kit you have. If it is just a two wire start capacitor kit, you need to connect it to "herm" and "C" on the capacitor.

"C" from compressor will go to the contactor
"R" from compressor will go to "C" on the capacitor
"S" form compressor will go to "herm" on capacitor

note: "R" on compressor will go to "C" on capacitor with a jumper wire from the capacitor to the other side of the contactor.

Hi, this depends on the compressor that is installed in this unit. It may be a Copeland scroll, a Tecumseh, its hard to say. Most compressors are around 2 hp for a 3 ton unit. On the data plate it will tell you the h.p. of the blower and condenser fan motors such as 1/4 h.p., or 1/3. If you can get the name and model numbers from the top of your compressor, you can call a a/c, Refrigeration parts house, wholesale and they will have it in there manuals. The B.T.U. rating for your compressor is 36,000. There are 12,000 BTU's per ton of cooling, this is something that almost no one knows, but now you do. If it were a smaller unit such as a 2 and 1/2 ton, it would be 30,000 B.T.U.'s. You can look at the model number of a unit and you will see numbers like this, 024, 2-ton, 030, 21/2 ton, and 036 a 3 ton unit and so on. Your compressor alone will be in the range of a 2 horse unit, which ever the brand of compressor they installed in it. Please don't forget to rate me on this as I know you will be kind.

It will tell you on the metal plate on top of the compressor, or sticker what the R.L.A.are and the L.R.A's are. If you cant read them, try and get what information you can from the compressor, like the name, Tecumseh, Copeland scroll, ect, The 48 would be the tonnage, 4 ton, or 60 a 5 ton unit. You should have enough of the model number for a air conditioning wholesale parts house to tell you this. we deal with this in the field daily.
Good Luck, Shastalaker7 I hope this helps you.

I have scroll chiller contains scroll compressor tandom circuit. One of the compressor failure from it due to unbalance of the winding. Previously compressor thermistor opens two to three times. Also one phase open in contactor of the compressor. Can you guide me regarding the reason of compressor failure and what is the next step for the replacement of compressor. Also give guide line for the points take care.

Tell them you want a whole new outside system or a new compressor . Around here, the compressor change out should be around 5--$800.00 and the unit change out , around $400.00! OKLAHOMA.

The 55 terminal is marked "herm" it goes to the start winding of the compressor. The 5 terminal is marked "fan" it goes to a wire from the fan motor. The common terminal goes to one side of the power line...The side that is NOT going directly to the compressor.
