Sorry, The AC was daggling by the the wire and had only tore the wire
casing. The green, black, white looked good so I tested it with an ohm
meter to see if it was broken. For this I had to detach the wire from
the AC unit. When I was putting it back together, I knew where the
ground went (yes casing) and black. * But the White wire I'm not
certain of. The capacitor has more than one prong available... I can't
see it clearly either (too cramped), I think the best thing at this
point is to check with the supplier for a wiring diagram and open up
the machine more so I can see the inside of the controllers better.

I will also let it sit for a while before I turn it on. I do recall
mine saying the same thing. I did have it on its side when I was
reconnecting the wires and it was defiantly not 24h before I put it
back up.

Called a local repair guy, he says the hardware store has some on sale
this week! (basically and literaly)

I don't know why you had to disconnect the wires to check for
continuity. You go from the AC plug to where the wire terminates in
the AC unit and check for continuity.
