Yep, someone let all the smoke out of it....
That one POPed clean, most make a real MESS...
.
Wait till you see one pop, or better when you see a terminal blow.
The first time I saw a terminal blow it scared me so bad I nearly fell off the roof when I jumped back. It sounded like a gun went off, and there was a lot of smoke from the burning oil. It was a sight to see.Quote:

I never seen one that clean.
All of the ones I have found had the foil and paper all over the place.
I always chuckle when those go POP! Its a fun sound haha.
Had one last week. I could see the oil all over the roof below the service panel. Knew what i had from 15 feet away. Another 35/5/370 and off I went.
Looks like money to me
Did you notice the rust? Where did the water come from that shorted it out?
:putergreet:
Its a Russell condensing unit on the ground outside the building. There is a hill where water runs down towards it but i was never there when it rained hard to definitely say there is a drainage/flooding problem.
Never seen 1 blow like that.
They always rip open a tear at the top and get that crap spewed everywhere.
1 actually blew on a tune up from a 25 year old unit, original run cap, with mean few feet away.
