Circuit diagram was on the inside electrical panel. This was on a brand new home due to a job change my forth home, the first three I installed myself.
Lost all the R22 after the first year, Joe Weak tightened all the fittings, but under warranty, so they filled it, I watch them with their pressure gauge. I tightened all the fittings, haven't lost a drop of R-22 since.
I pulled the run capacitor to test it out, 5ufd for the fan motor and 40ufd for the compressor, for whatever the reason, the fan and compressor wires were reversed, so why not problems after 35 years,
Made in the USA by GE the 5ufd checked out perfect with my capacitor bridge circuit, but the 40ufd read at 37, no leakage, but close enough.
Trying to find a replacement is out of the question, all I could find was crap made in China. But can't explain after 35 year years, never had start up noise, the capacitor gives the second phase a 90 degree lead. Is continuous, other capacitors are switch out with a centrifugal switch. These have dirty switch contact problems. Anyway, finally making it right cured the start up noise.
I am cooling 4,000 square feet, have plenty of tall trees around the home, talk about global warming bullchit, my AC bill for last August, the hotest month of the year, my electric bill only increased by 5 bucks.
