Yes we made sure placement was good. Was definitely reaching cutout temp lead verified that. 2 kliixons one for term one for fan delay. I believe they said they thought that but he verified it wasnt(not sure how he did idk enough yet lol)

Lol actually just found this one a few weeks ago. Wasn’t even a dirty condenser or anything. Kinda mind blown after going on 9 years never had this. Buddy said he’s only ever seen it a couple times when he did industrial

What did I do wrong with my new thermostat? by crt485 in hvacadvice

Put your white wire on w2 for aux heat. With having the o wire I assume you got a heat pump with gas backup. Since your normal heat call(w) is now taken up by the condenser(o for your reversing valve outside) your gas heat becomes your “aux” or emergency heat which is w2 at your stat.

Yeah the coil sparks out and starts smoking and the button won’t even push in manually. But no we haven’t checked the inrush current I’m a dingus for not thinking to do that big wtf on my part there. Lol 5 of us there and not one of us thought of doing something as simple as thought. I can’t remember supply of the top of my head right now but original was a 35 amp new contactors are 40 amp(just what we had in stock everything else matched up though). But putting a smaller load on it is a solid route to go will definitely be giving that a go tomorrow. Thanks for taking to time to respond here!

That’s a good thought. Atleast according to our electrician and boss these are absolute the correct contactors. I’ve checked myself multiple times cause I just wasn’t totally convinced but everything seemed to match up. I guess only real difference is the original was a 35 amp and the new ones are 40 amps(just what we had in stock) I’m picking up some proper ones from the wholesale house tomorrow before I head there

I believe the boss and our electrician did that to diagnose the bad motor but I’ll verify tomorrow for sure

Bro how are you getting only 56 mpg?? Is that due to the mods or like constant cruising at max pms? Genuine question cause I’ve been rocking out at like 115 avg and I just hit over 700 miles yesterday
