    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

This AC unit runs for 10 minutes or so then the compressor turns off, or the fan turns off and it stops cooling.  After waiting for a bit, I can turn it on and off several times and usuallly get it to cool again for a short while. Already replaced the run capacitor but I don't know what could be the issue here.

Anyone have the service manual?  Any ideas of what to try next?  Thanks

It could be the overload mounted on top of the compressor. Bypass it and see if the unit will stay going. If it does then get another overload.

Why did you replace the run capacitor ? did you test it to see if it is indeed bad ?

When you turn it on and off did lights dim ? Is the "Condenser Coil" clean ?

Did you check the voltage when the unit started ? Amperage ?
