    • 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/

The fuse keeps blowing out when I turn on the AC. The furnace works well if I ask for heat. I looked for shorts and was not able to find any. I also investigated if there were shorts on the external unit - everything there is OK. What are my options?

Thanks,

-Luke

Critter chewed the thermostat wires maybe, Weedeater got to the wires maybe.

Not really - those wires look clean and the terminals are connected. I do not see any issues at that end.

I agree with the weedeater or critter. here is how you check the wire going outside. You have a dead sgort(wire to wire) or a short to ground.

disconnect the 2 wire at the furnace and at the condenser leave them hanging in the air. Take an OHM reading between the 2 wires . you should get no resisatance of any kind . then check each wire to a good ground. again you should get nothing . Tie one end of the wires together. take a reading . it should be very low resistance (less than 10) .

If those check out then the problem is in the condenser most likely.

Check for resistance to ground on the wires going into the condenser control circuit . there should be none.
