Check the capacitor and contactor. You may have wires burnt at the compressor terminal from corrosion.

SOURCE: my trane xr12 wont run.

Hello my name is Heath it will be my pleasure to assist you. First thing to do is go to the furnace take off the lower blower door and locate the circuit board turn the power off to the furnace. In the circuit board there should ba a small car like fuse usually 3 or 5 amps check the fuse it is probably blown replace the fuse with the same amperage fuse and then turn the power back on on the furnace and check the operation of the furnace.

SOURCE: I have a trane XR12

Hello Rich,NO you have a dual capasitor that runs both fan & compressor motors.Shut it down and let it cool off.You need the uf rate numbers & the volt rating of the existing cap (printed on the side)to get EXACT replacement.The wires plug in to the top termanls C, HERM &FAN.Worth fixing good luck.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help and a quick response. The problem was the capacitor. $30.00 to fix the problem! You saved me a lot of time and money!"

SOURCE: I have a Trane xr12 air conditioner. I turned off

Is the blower coming on inside? If it isn't, try tripping both breakers again. If the blower is working, your thermostat may be timed out or the air cond may have a timer in it that will keep it from coming on for a few minutes.

If none of the above work, make sure you didn't pull any wires off when you pulled the filters out.

Trane xr12 heat pump switching to aux

Sounds like the compressor is not running. Possibly a bad capacitor. Check system in cooling, see if it cools. If it does cool then you likely have a reversing valve issue. Good Luck!!

Fan won't run / won't cool

It may have a faulty compressor relay or overload, best to change both at the same time. It's either that or a bad compressor.

Trane xr12 blower stays on after first cool cycle run

Hello, this is usually caused by a sticking fan relay on the intergrated comtrol board. You may be able to tap on it to shut it off but eventually the control board will need to be replaced.

My Trane PTAC unit has a problem with the compressor kicking on, fan runs, clicking noise like it is trying to kick on, but takes a good 15 minutes set at a low temp. setting for it to finally engage.

Hi,
The compressor start capacitor is bad...it is not giving enough "kick" to get the motor running...
at least it is a good idea to change this first because if this does not work then the compressor needs to be changed out...
