was the capacitor wasn’t it?

that was literally the last 2 times. This time it was the secondary coil on the contactor, had a short. Well i guess it’s technically always short since it’s a continuous wire but it was even shorter. Was getting about 2 ohms across the coil and i guess 10-20 ohms is expected and the low resistance was popping the secondary fuse.

Does your magic words require a degree to understand and practice or my dumb ass can learn the magic of fixing ACs?

being an electrical engineer has its perks, but the couple youtube videos i watched didn’t require any technical knowledge, mostly just safety knowledge, like the one hand rule and how to safety squint.
