Service call at a post-acute care facility in Woodbury, NJ β unit was off on arrival.
Breaker had tripped in the building. Reset it β breaker in the unit tripped immediately after.
π Found the contactor for one of the condenser fan motors welded shut on the middle leg β stuck pulled in. Fan motor locked up completely, not spinning. That's what was pulling enough current to trip the breaker.
π§ Removed the faulty contactor, isolated the affected circuit, turned off the compressor on that side
β
Unit back on and running at 75% capacity
Not a full fix β but enough to keep the facility running while parts are sourced. New condenser fan motor and contactor on order.
In a healthcare setting that's the right call. Keep it running, get the parts, finish the repair properly.
