to the liquid pressure conditions. The condenser blower always turns on after the compressor and will cycle frequently during normal operation at low temperatures. • Condenser motor powered directly through this switch. • Circuit closes (motor on) at ~400 psi and opens (motor off) at ~245 psi. •...
Evaporator Blower and Motor (EBM) • Twin blower and motor. • Pulls cabinet air through evaporator and discharges cooled air back to cabinet. • Squirrel cage blower design. • Blower and motor combination must be replaced as complete unit. • Shaded pole motor.
Evaporator Blower Motor Capacitor (N3 series only) • Start/run capacitor for PSC evaporator motor. • 3 µfd @ 440 VAC. • Provides starting torque and improves operating efficiency. • Built into the 115V motor, separate on 230V motor. Condenser Blower Motor Capacitor •...

Compressor Troubleshooting NOTE: It is important to rule out other component failures before condemning the compressor. The following electrical tests will aid diagnosis: 1. Start-Up Voltage: Measure the voltage at the compressor terminals during start-up. The voltage must exceed the minimum shown in chart below, or compressor failure is likely. A low voltage condition must be corrected.
