I opened up my compresses unit and the main capacitor wires were completely off the capacitor. I can't seem to make sense of the schematic on the inside of the unit. It looked like the two brown wires were hooked up to the far terminal and the red wire hooked to the middle + wire with nothing hooked to the fan. This is just going off where the wires were initially sitting. Actually, looked like the red wire was on the terminal beginning with H? but I don't think that's right. Also could be that the brown wires are hooked up as in the third pic going from the schematic but not turning this on until I find out! Anyone out there able to help out. This is a Coleman President II compressor unit.

Simple Capacitor Question, wires came loose

Sorry but this is not a DIY Site.
From the looks of things there's issues in there, contactor is burned, exposed wires, 2 capacitors and fan is still connected on the original?
When was the last time that unit was serviced...................Its due.

I hooked up the wires because that appears to be where the wires were. The run capacitor above is not the issue. I contacted the company that apparently last worked on the unit, we recently purchased the home. They will not make it until Friday AM and we have 90+ with humidity in the coming days and I work from home. I just need to know which wires go where on the capacitor for now. Thank you.
If this is not the proper forum, can someone please direct me to the right one.

You are in the right place but have a question we can not answer due to site rules. We can not give direct instruction on how to do something so giving wire to wire advice on this situation is a no-no. You have to understand it has nothing to do with you or your problem specifically but that the next guy that searches for this topic may find this thread and wire his like your and get hurt by our advice because he does not understand there is a difference in equipment. We need to keep homeowners safe as well as the next person to touch the unit.
Sorry, rules are rules.

Look at the 2 sentences Ammoniadog wrote ....
The fan has been changed to a different brand , and now has its own little capacitor with its own little brown wires , so it no longer needs to be attached to the giant capacitor down below on F ... nothing goes to F anylonger
and thats about as much as we are allowed to mention
