Wiring Problem??

[Aerovox]

Hopefully that wasn't from the factory

This unit was only a year old. Panel was missing screw and flapping in wind. The compressor was fragged, probably from the constant jogging when terminals arced.
As for the warranty ??, We did not install it, and the unit was not registered by a contractor so supplier said NO.
Nordyne HP, comes with 6 inch bugs(pre-crimped, stranded wire). WE, nut them to solid stat wire then connect to terminals. May have been a goodman, I can't remember.

I use these, or a short piece of stranded wire with a crimp connector on the board and then wire nutted to the tstat cable.

You complain just because the guy ran out of solder?

[gevans]

Yep.
That's what I thought the hole was for... that sort of connection is actually superior to most others... if you add solder.

He forgot his wire wrapping tool that day?

[voleye]

I have done that in a pinch to get a unit running, But never left it like that.

I didn't know what sta-con meant either when I saw PHM use the term on another thread. Stay Connected?

Just proves once again that there are no stupid questions - but if you are afraid to ask just stick around and someone will ask one...

A Stakon is like a Jacuzzi. All hot tubs aren't Jacuzzis but all Jacuzzis are hot tubs according to Sheldon Cooper. All Stakons (brand name) are wire terminals, but not all wire terminals are Stakons.
