MONTHLY CLEANING  
AIR FILTERS — The indoor and vent air filters  
should be cleaned once per month. Filters that are not  
cleaned become clogged and will restrict airflow. This  
may lead to major component damage. If a filter  
becomes torn, has holes, or other damage, replace it  
with a new one. Replacement filters are available  
through Carrier Finished Goods and Carrier Replace-  
ment Component Division.  
5. Reverse Steps 1-3 to reattach vent door.  
CHASSIS  
Occasional cleaning of the exterior surfaces of the  
PTAC unit optimizes the units appearance and  
removes particles that may enter the air system. See  
Figure 23. Mild detergents clean and reduce electro-  
static charges on the plastic components of the PTAC  
unit.  
CLEANING THE INDOOR AIR FILTER Two air  
filters are located in the units front panel. To remove  
each filter simply grasp each filter handle with both  
hands and gently pull the filter up and away from the  
unit. See Figure 21.  
Use a clean cloth or brush to gently wipe exterior sur-  
faces. Be careful not to push dirt or other fibers into  
the units interior components. Accessible wall sleeve  
surfaces should also be wiped clean.  
10  
SEASONAL CLEANING  
The indoor and outdoor coils should be cleaned at least  
once during every season. Refer to ACCESSING  
UNIT COMP ONE NTS section to prepare unit.  
CLEANING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR  
COILS  
Do not set unit on end to drain water from basepan,  
or at any other time. Oil will drain from the com-  
pressor sump, which could cause compressor failure.  
6. Thoroughly clean the basepan and drain passages  
by rinsing with clean water. Be sure all debris is  
removed from the drain valve. See Figure 26.  
Coil fins are sharp and may cut hands. Wear heavy  
p r ot ect ive gloves when cleaning coils.  
7. Thoroughly clean outdoor fan assembly and all  
other mechanical components located in outdoor  
coil area. Be sure to remove all dirt and debris.  
8. Clean wall sleeve.  
CLEANING THE INDOOR FAN AND FAN  
SCROLL — Dried debris and build-up on the blower  
wheel and fan scroll can reduce the efficiency of the  
unit.  
Use only cleaning solutions that meet local codes.  
1. Use a vacuum cleaner or soft bristle brush to  
remove surface fibers and dirt from the interior  
surface of evaporator coil and both surfaces of con-  
denser coil. See Figure 24. It is important to apply  
the tool in the sa m e d ir ection of th e fin s, not  
against them. Applying the tool against the fins  
may cause damage (fin edges may bend over).  
2. With a tank sprayer or a trigger spray extension  
tube, spray coil cleaning solution evenly across  
the coils, making sure coils are thoroughly satu-  
rated. See Figure 25. Refer to instructions on the  
cleaning solution containers for best results. Do  
n ot u se a h igh -p r essu r e sp r a yer .  
1. ACCESS AND CLEAN INDOOR F AN AND  
F AN SCROLL  
a. Reach behind the indoor coil and vacuum any  
loose debris from the condensate drain pan, fan  
and other areas accessible to the fan scroll,  
being careful to avoid damage to the coil fins.  
b. Use mild detergent and a damp cloth to remove  
stubborn debris from surfaces around scroll and  
fan blades.  
2. CLEAN HEATER ASSEMBLY Use com-  
pressed air to blow off any dirt or dust that has  
accumulated on the heater coils.  
3. Rinse the coils thoroughly with low-velocity, clean  
warm water (less than 200 F).  
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each coil surface.  
NOTE: Do not direct air at the bi-metal discs on  
the temperature limiter switches.  
5. Drain water and cleaning solution that may have  
collected in the basepan during the cleaning pro-  
cess by carefully tilting the chassis. This allows  
excess water to flow out of the overflow notches.

COMPRESSOR  
A cutaway view of the rotary compressor with key  
pump bearing provides a thrust surface for the shaft  
and the rolling piston. Compressed gas is separated  
from the suction gas by the vane. Discharge gas pres-  
sure and the vane spring keep the vane in contact with  
the rolling piston.  
components labeled is shown in Figure 27. The motor  
stator is rigidly attached to the compressor shell. The  
rotor is pressed onto the eccentric shaft, which is sup-  
ported by 2 bearings. Both the discharge valve and dis-  
charge muffler are attached to the motor bearing. The

SERIES  
The rotary compression process (Figure 28), starts at  
top dead center as shown in (1). Suction gas flows  
through the suction inlet and into the cylinder area.  
As the shaft rotates through 90 degrees, the rolling  
piston moves to position A as shown in (2). The suction  
volume is now the area defined by point A and the tip  
of the vane. Gas in the remaining volume has been  
compressed above suction pressure. After another  
90 degrees of shaft rotation, the rolling piston has  
moved to position B as shown in (3). Both the com-  
pressed gas and suction gas volumes are now equal.  
Another 90 degrees of shaft rotation is shown in (4).  
Compressed gas has reached a pressure sufficient to  
open the discharge valve, and flows from the cylinder  
into the compressor shell. After another 90 degrees of  
shaft rotation, the entire process begins again. Contin-  
uous suction and discharge allows for a smooth com-  
pression process.  
The rolling piston is not in actual contact with the cyl-  
inder wall, vane, or bearing faces. Hydrodynamic seal-  
ing prevents leakage from the compressed gas volume  
to the suction volume via these paths. Precise control  
of machining tolerances, surfaces, finishes, and assem-  
bly clearances is critical to achieve high efficiency per-  
formance. In addition, the line contact between the  
vane tip and the rolling piston requires careful selec-  
tion and control of materials to provide wear resis-  
tance and reliable long-term operation.  
BASIC HERMETIC COMPRESSOR  
ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS  
There are 2 basic electrical tests for hermetic compres-  
sors that will determine the electrical state of the  
motor. The first test requires checking the electrical  
resistance of each of the electrical motor windings. The  
second test requires checking the electrical resistance  
of each of the electrical motor windings to ground.  
These tests may be accomplished by performing the  
following steps:  
1. DISCONNECT ALL P OWE R TO TH E UNIT.  
2. Remove the unit chassis from the sleeve as  
detailed in the UNIT DISASSEMBLY section.  
3. Open the control box as detailed in the UNIT  
DISASSEMBLY section, then locate, label, and  
remove the 3 compressor wires from the following  
locations: the RUN wire (BLACK) from the capac-  
itor, the START wire (BLUE) from the capacitor.  
The third wire, COMMON wire (YELLOW) may

COMPRESSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
Refer to Figure 29 for a basic compressor troubleshoot-  
ing chart.  
F or com p r essor s t h a t a r e k n ow n t o b e d a m -  
a ged : Remove refrigerant prior to disconnecting  
compressor wires. Damaged hermetic compressor  
terminals may become loose and eject from the com-  
pressor. Wear safety glasses and keep your face  
away from the area above the terminals when  
removing compressor wires.  
4. Perform a shorted/open windings test to measure  
the resistance between the windings of the com-  
pressor motor. Use a volt-ohmmeter set to the  
lowest ohm reading level then read and record the  
resistance between the RUN and START, START  
and COMMON, and RUN and COMMON wires.  
See Figure 30. The typical resistance readings will  
be about 4, 3, and 1 ohms respectively. The  
smaller values should add to equal the larger  
value. If this is not true then the compressor is  
likely shorted winding to winding.  
NOTE: The rotary compressor has the compressor  
overload located under the terminal cover. If the over-  
load is open it can show ohm readings that are infinite.  
The unit should be off for at least an hour to give this  
overload time to reset if it is open.

5. Next, perform a grounded windings test to test  
Con sid er th e follow in g sa fet y issu es b efor e  
the resistance individually of each wire to the  
shell of the compressor. The paint on the compres-  
sor can prevent good contact between the probe  
and the metal. The paint should be removed from  
a small section of the shell of the compressor to  
ensure good contact by the meter probe. The volt-  
ohmmeter should be set to at least the 100X ohm  
level. The measured resistance between each wire  
and ground should be infinite or O.L. on the  
readout. If there is measurable resistance one of  
the windings is likely shorted to ground. See  
Figure 31.  
b egin n in g:  
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed  
under the supervision of an experienced service  
technician.  
Personal protective equipment, such as work gloves  
and safety glasses, should be worn.  
• The floor around the work area should be clean and  
free of debris.  
• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job and  
that they are working properly and in good condition.  
6. A compressor that has a winding to winding short  
or a winding to compressor shell short is electri-  
cally failed and needs to be replaced. See the  
Com p r essor Rep la cem en t section for details.  
Never replace a blown fuse without correcting the  
cause of the original failure. If thermally operated  
circuit breakers or overloads are tripping, make  
sure the trip is not due to excessively high tempera-  
tures or loose connections.  
COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT  
• When brazing suction and discharge lines, cool the  
lines with a damp, clean cloth to prevent injury.  
• Oil may be present in the compressor accumulator  
and interconnecting tubing. Use caution when  
removing tubing.  
Before working on the compressor, read the instruc-  
tions thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the  
job. Review all safety information on unit and in liter-  
ature. Always turn off all power to unit to avoid the  
possibility of electrical shock.

tool #105-FF or Robinair Tool #12294. Release any  
refrigerant pressure trapped in the access valve  
by depressing the valve core, then confirm that no  
R-22 is leaking past the pinch off tool location. Cut  
the access valve stem of the process tube above  
the top crimp and braze the top of each process  
tube to ensure the system is sealed, (leave the  
pinch off tool in place until after the brazing pro-  
cess is complete).

HEATERS  
The heater in 52C,P units is located directly behind  
the evaporator coil. The heater assembly includes the  
heater (2.3 kW, 3.4 kW or 5 kW), a primary limit  
switch, and a secondary limit switch. See Figure 34.  
The primary and secondary limit switches are safety  
switches that regulate heater operation. The primary  
limit switch disables current to the heater when the  
temperature exceeds the setting on the switch.  
COMMON CAUSES OF  
HEATER FAILURE  
Heater failure may result from broken heater coils,  
primary limit switch failure, or an open secondary  
limit switch. These conditions are generally caused by  
low or no airflow.  
HEATER REMOVAL  
For example, a 3.4 kW heater may have a primary  
limit switch setting of 150 F. If the temperature at the  
switch exceeds 150 F, the primary limit switch will  
electrically open and shut off power to the heater.  
Once the temperature drops below 110 F, the primary  
limit switch will automatically reset.  
Before working on the heater, read the instructions  
thoroughly and gather the necessary tools for the job.  
Review all safety information on the unit and in the  
product literature.  
The secondary limit switch works in the same manner  
as the primary limit switch, except it is a one time  
switch and has a slightly higher temperature setting.  
Once this switch is thermally opened, it must be  
replaced. Together the primary and secondary  
switches help maintain safe temperature limits for  
unit operation.  
Before performing any cleaning, servicing, or main-  
tenance to the unit, Discon n ect All P ow er to avoid  
the possibility of electric shock and personal injury.  
The manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or  
change at any time, specifications or designs without  
notice and without incurring obligations.  
Con sid er th e follow in g sa fet y issu es:  
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on  
electrical equipment you must Discon n ect All  
P ow er .  
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed  
under the supervision of an experienced service  
technician.  
Personal protective equipment, such as safety  
glasses and work gloves, should be worn.  
• The floor around the work area should be clean and  
free of debris.  
• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job,  
and that they are working properly and in good  
condition.  
FIGURE 34 — LIMIT SWITCH LOCATION

TOOLS NEEDED — The following list includes rec-  
ommended tools and devices for working on the heater  
section of 52C,P units.  
Coil resistance must also be checked to verify the  
heater is operating correctly. The resistance of the  
heater coils must meet approximate levels for the  
heater to perform at its optimum efficiency. See  
Figure 36 for approximate resistance for heaters at  
75 F. Before checking the heater coil resistance, b e  
su r e a ll p ow er t o u n it is off.  
To check resistance, set the volt-ohmmeter selector  
switch to the lowest ohms value. Next connect the volt-  
ohmmeter leads to each side of the heater coil at the  
studs that hold the limit switches in place. Incorrect  
readings can be obtained if the wires are not removed  
from the limit switches on the heater assembly. If the  
resistive reading is infinite or zero, the heater is failed  
and replacement is necessary. Reinstall the heater  
assembly.

OPERATING CONTROLS  
The 52C,P h ea t p u m p u n it contains all the compo-  
nents of the heat/cool and cooling only unit, and the  
following additional ones: the outdoor frost thermostat  
and the reversing valve. The outdoor frost thermostat  
prevents operation of the unit in the heat pump mode  
when the outdoor coil temperature drops below 20 F,  
or at about 35 F outdoor ambient temperature. The  
unit automatically engages the electric heat strip and  
disables the compressor under these conditions.  
The outdoor frost thermostat has a manual override to  
place the unit in electric heat mode operation only. The  
override switch is located behind the front panel on  
the front side of the unit control box door.  
UNIT-MOUNTED CONTROLS  
The controls and components used in the 52C,P cool-  
in g on ly or h ea t /cool u n it s are as follows: the selec-  
tor switch, the indoor thermostat, the dual capacitor,  
the temperature limiter, the vent lever, and the fan  
cycle switch. See Figure 37.  
The selector switch is used to determine the mode of  
operation: heat, cool, fan, or off. The indoor thermostat  
controls the room ambient temperature and cycles the  
heater or the compressor based on the selector switch  
setting. The dual capacitor aids in the start-up of the  
compressor and the fan motor. The temperature limiter  
is integrated into the control box top cover located  
under front panel. It is a mechanical device that  
restricts the amount of rotation of the thermostat. The  
temperature limiter device may be adjusted by moving  
the plastic temperature selector tabs to another temper-  
ature location on the control box. The vent lever is  
located on the front left side of the chassis. It is a slide  
mechanism that opens and closes the vent door. The  
vent control may be accessed by removing the front  
panel of the unit. The fan cycle switch is used to provide  
2 options of fan control. The first option, CON, causes  
the fan to run continuously. The second option, CYC,  
causes the fan to cycle on with the compressor or elec-  
tric heater and off when the thermostat is satisfied.  
IMPORTANT: Placing the override switch to elec-  
tric heat mode operation will disable the compres-  
sor for ALL heating or cooling operations (for all  
units except RC units). Placing the override switch  
to electric heat mode operation on RC units will  
only disable the compressor in heating mode.  
The reversing valve allows for operation in reverse cycle  
heat pump mode. The valve is located in the piping sys-  
tem and is controlled by the reversing valve solenoid  
coil. The coil is energized only during the heating mode.

to operate in 2 modes:  
CON — Fan runs continuously, circulating air even  
when the temperature setting has been satisfied. This  
helps to maintain the room temperature closer to the  
thermostat setting.  
CYC —Fan cycles on and off with the compressor  
during heating or cooling. Fan stops when the temper-  
ature setting is satisfied. This results in longer unit  
off-time and slightly larger variations in room temper-  
ature and humidity.  
HIGH HEAT OR HIGH COOL MODE Position  
selector and temperature control knobs to desired com-  
fort level. This function provides maximum heating or  
cooling, and is recommended to raise or lower the room  
temperature quickly.  
LOW HEAT OR LOW COOL MODE Position  
selector and temperature control knobs to desired com-  
fort level. This function provides minimum heating  
or cooling with maximum dehumidification during  
cooling. This setting also allows for very quiet fan  
operation.  
OUTDOOR THERMOSTAT (52CQ, PQ Units Only)  
The outdoor thermostat has 2 operating modes. The  
heat pump mode (selector screw set fully clockwise),  
allows the unit to operate normally in the reverse cycle  
mode. The electric heat mode (selector screw set fully  
counterclockwise), disables all com p r essor operating  
modes, both heating and cooling for units with  
mounted controls. For wall thermostat controlled mod-  
els the compressor is only disabled in heating and still  
allowed to run in cooling.

Defrost Cycle —  
When heat pump unit is operating in  
reverse cycle, the outdoor coil may begin to frost. As  
frost accumulates on the outdoor coil the unit may  
switch into defrost mode. The defrost mode is acti-  
vated when the outdoor frost thermostat sensor  
detects a temperature below 20 F on the coil. At this  
point, the thermostat deenergizes the compressor and  
activates the electric heat. The unit will remain in  
electric heat mode until the outdoor thermostat senses  
35 F coil temperature. The defrost mode is a passive  
operation and may take some time before the coil  
defrosts.

INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump Units)  
(Figure 49) — The heat pump indoor thermostat uses a  
two-stage switch for the heating mode. The first stage  
engages the compressor and reversing valve, and the  
unit operates in normal heat pump mode. The indoor  
thermostat maintains the selected temperature by  
cycling the compressor on and off in cooling mode. In  
the heating mode, the indoor thermostat will cycle the  
compressor or the heater, depending on the difference  
between the actual room temperature and the thermo-  
stat temperature setting.  
When the room temperature is more than 4 F cooler  
than the indoor thermostat setting, the second heating  
stage of the indoor thermostat engages the electric  
heat strip. This design feature allows the user to rap-  
idly warm the room with the electric heat strip by  
turning the thermostat to its highest setting. When  
room temperatures approach the desired temperature,  
the user may adjust the thermostat to a personal  
comfort setting, which allows for normal heat pump  
operation.  
NOTE: For outdoor coil temperatures below approxi-  
mately 20 F, the outdoor frost thermostat prevents  
heat pump mode operation and immediately engages  
the electric heat strip upon a call for heating. The elec-  
tric heat strip is NEVER energized at the same time  
as the compressor.  
To verify operation of the heat pump indoor thermo-  
stat switch, a continuity test may be performed as  
follows:  
INDOOR THERMOSTAT (Heat/Cool and Cool Only  
Units) (Figure 48) — The thermostat maintains the  
selected temperature by cycling the compressor on and  
off during cooling operation and the electric heater  
during heating operation. Th e t h er m osta t DOE S

then the fan will be cycled off when the thermostat  
satisfies.  
To verify the operation of the thermostat switch, a con-  
tinuity test may be performed as follows:  
1. Tu r n off u n it p ow er as described in UNIT  
DISASSEMBLY section.  
2. Remove wire leads from thermostat. Note their  
locations to ease re-assembly.  
1. Turn off unit power as described in UNIT

3. To test stage A, place one lead of the continuity  
tester on the terminal marked 2, and the other  
lead on either the terminal marked 1 or the termi-  
nal marked 3.  
4. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the  
contacts of the switch open and close. When veri-  
fying continuity of the closed switch, the reading  
on the meter should be 0 ohms. An open switch  
will show OL on the meter.  
5. To test stage B contacts, place one lead of the con-  
tinuity tester on contact 5 and the other lead on  
either contact 4 or contact 6.  
6. Adjust the thermostat up or down to verify the  
contacts of the switch open and close as in Step 4.

continuity between terminals 2 and 3.  
OUTDOOR FROST THERMOSTAT (Heat Pump  
Units) (Figure 50A and 50B) — The Outdoor Frost  
Thermostat (OFT) is a thermostat that uses a single-  
pole switch with a manual override selector. The ther-  
mostat switches between electric heat and compressor  
operation when the temperature of the outdoor coil  
falls below 20 F or rises above 35 F. Switching the  
override selector to electric heat disables the reverse  
cycle operation of the thermostat and is manually  
switched to electric heat operation.  
6. Once the test is complete, reconnect the leads.  
CAPACITOR — The 52C,P units use a dual  
capacitor. One part of the capacitor is used with the  
fan motor. The other part of the capacitor is used by  
the compressor.  
Run circuits on single-phase compressor motors use  
capacitors which dramatically affect the motor opera-  
tion. Run capacitors are connected to the motor circuit  
at all times.  
To evaluate the capacitor, perform a visual check first.  
A shorted capacitor may give a visual indication of its  
failure. For example, the pop-out hole at the top of a  
start capacitor may bulge or blow out. A run capacitor  
may bulge or leak. In these instances, the capacitor  
must be replaced with one recommended by the manu-  
facturer. If there are no visual signs of capacitor fail-  
ure, testing of the capacitor resistance may be done  
with a volt-ohmmeter as detailed below:  
IMPORTANT: Placing the override switch to elec-  
tric heat mode operation will disable the compres-  
sor for ALL heating or cooling operations (for all  
units except RC units). Placing the override switch  
to electric heat mode operation on RC units will  
only disable the compressor in heating mode.  
1. Tu r n off u n it p ow er as described in UNIT  
DISASSEMBLY section but do not unplug the  
service cord; it will supply ground connection for  
the unit chassis. Ch eck t o en su r e p ow er is off  
a n d LOCKE D OUT.  
2. Connect one lead of a 20,000 ohm, 2-watt resistor  
to the center group of terminals on the dual capac-  
itor. Attach the other lead from the resistor to an  
unpainted metal section of the unit chassis. This  
allows that section of the dual capacitor to dis-  
charge. Repeat this process between the other  
group of terminals.  
FIGURE 50A — OUTDOOR FROST THERMOSTAT

Capacitors are capable of holding charge similar to a  
battery and may cause an electrical shock.  
3. Locate and disconnect the wires from the start  
and/or run capacitor to isolate them from the  
remainder of the circuit. Refer to the unit wiring  
diagram if you need assistance locating wires.

FIGURE 51 — CAPACITOR TEST  
5. The reading on the meter should first indicate  
zero, or a low resistance, then slowly rise toward  
infinity or some high value or measurable resis-  
tance. This indicates the capacitor is most likely  
good. If the reading goes to zero or a low resis-  
tance and stays there, the capacitor is likely  
shorted and needs replacement. If the reading  
immediately indicates infinity, the capacitor is  
likely open and must be replaced.  
6. Replace the capacitor if failed and rewire accord-  
ing to the WIRING SCHEMATICS located in the  
control box of the unit.

FAN MOTOR  
The fan motor is a permanent split capacitor (PSC)  
Con sid er th e follow in g sa fet y issu es:  
type motor. This motor is common in air-conditioning  
system applications. A PSC motor does not require the  
use of a relay and always has a run capacitor con-  
nected between the run and start windings of the  
motor. See Figure 55.  
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on  
electrical equipment you must Discon n ect All  
P ow er .  
New and unfamiliar tasks should be performed  
under the supervision of an experienced service  
technician.  
Personal protective equipment, such as safety  
glasses and work gloves, should be worn.  
• The floor around the work area should be clean and  
free of debris.  
The 52C,P series fan motor has a motor shaft extended  
through both ends. It powers both the indoor and the  
outdoor fans. It has permanently sealed bearings that  
require no lubrication. There are many different fan  
motor models, but they typically are 2-speed and in  
2 voltage categories, 208/230 and 265 volts.  
• Make sure tools are the correct tools for the job,  
and that they are working properly and in good  
condition.  
• The 52C,P unit may weigh up to 150 pounds. Use a  
lifting device or ask for assistance if the unit must  
be moved.  
FAN MOTOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
Refer to Figure 56 for a basic fan motor troubleshoot-  
ing chart.  
TOOLS NEEDED The following list includes rec-  
ommended tools and devices for working on the fan  
motor of 52C,P units.  
BASIC FAN MOTOR ELECTRICAL TESTS  
Gloves  
Safety Glasses  
Regular and Phillips Head Screw Drivers  
Small Adjustable Wrench  
Channel Lock Pliers  
There are 2 basic electrical tests for PSC fan motors  
that will determine the electrical state of the motor.  
The first test requires checking the electrical resis-  
tance between the motor windings. The second test  
requires checking the electrical resistance between the  
motor windings and ground. These tests may be  
accomplished by performing the following steps:  
Volt-ohmmeter  
5
/
16-in. Nut Driver  
1. DISCONNECT ALL P OWE R TO UNIT.  
2. Open the control box as detailed in the UNIT  
DISASSEMBLY section.  
Before cleaning, servicing, performing maintenance  
or removing the chassis from the wall sleeve, discon-  
nect all power to the unit to avoid the possibility of  
electrical shock and personal injury. Only trained  
and qualified service personnel should perform  
installation and service procedures on these units.  
Untrained personnel may perform basic mainte-  
nance tasks such as cleaning and replacing filters.  
Refer to UNIT DISASSEMBLY section of this man-  
ual for proper procedures to disconnect power to  
52C,P units.  
3. Label and disconnect the fan motor wires from  
the selector switch and capacitor as shown in  
Figure 54. Two-speed motors have 2 wires on the  
capacitor and 2 wires on the push button switch.  
4. Measure and record the resistance between the  
black wire and each of the other wires. Make sure  
the motor is cool before attempting to measure  
resistance. The internal thermostat of the motor  
may be electrically open and will not close until  
the motor cools. See Figure 57 for typical motor  
winding resistance measurements. The resistance  
values in the table are approximate. Values that  
are within 10% of those listed are acceptable. If  
the motor in your model is not listed, find a motor  
of similar horsepower and voltage on the chart  
and compare it to the resistance measurements of  
your motor.  
The Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or  
change at any time, specifications or designs without  
notice and without incurring obligations.  
5. Measure the resistance of each of the motor wires  
to the motor casing. The resistance should be infi-  
nite. Make sure the motor is cool before attempt-  
ing to measure resistance. The internal  
thermostat of the motor may be electrically open  
and will not close until the motor cools. A motor  
that has measurable resistance to ground is  
shorted to ground and must be replaced.
