Wiring Fault / Open Circuit

Likely causes

Loose or corroded compressor power terminal screw

Check: Measure voltage drop from contactor output to compressor terminal

What to do: Measure voltage drop from contactor output to compressor terminal → Inspect and re-tighten all terminal screws → Check wiring for insulation damage or breaks → Clean corroded terminals, then re-tighten → Measure operating current after repair to confirm normal

Open wire on contactor output side

Check: Inspect and re-tighten all terminal screws

What to do: Inspect and re-tighten all terminal screws → Check wiring for insulation damage or breaks → Clean corroded terminals, then re-tighten → Measure operating current after repair to confirm normal

Poor contact at terminal block

Check: Check wiring for insulation damage or breaks

What to do: Check wiring for insulation damage or breaks → Clean corroded terminals, then re-tighten → Measure operating current after repair to confirm normal

Field tip

Contactor energizes but power is not reaching the compressor. Inspect wiring from contactor output to compressor. De-energize before working. Use insulated gloves.
