Burnt Wires

[rjnewt]

I have a 12 year old Trane AC that has two wires that burn out.

One of the wires is at the contactor and connects to the fan.
The second wire, which just burnt for the first time is connected to the capacitor and runs to the compressor. this wire burnt at the capacitor. I just replaced the capacitor and the fan motor is not the problem. When I reconnect the wires, the AC works fine until the next burn.

ANy ideas?

I have a great idea...


When was the last time you had your unit cleaned and inspected?

Now you have a problem with the unit. Fuel costs are skyrocketing.

So why not call in a professional to repair the unit? While they are there they can clean and inspect your unit to insure a safe living environment for you and your loved ones. Not to mention, having an efficient running system could save you more than the cost of the service.

What's your safety worth? I'm guessing more than the repair bill. ;)
