Default wires to capacitor on YORK AC unit are burned and melted

The unit is a York Model H2DAQ42SQ6A. The Serial Number is ELBM396211.

Here are the links to some photos showing the burned wires. I thought the
burned wires were connected to the capacitor but they are not. See the
photos for a better explanation.

I thought I would get my York central AC unit repaired well before

summer
hits. The unit is about 9 years old. Last year, the unit stopped

cooling
but the fan still ran fine. The repair guy look at it and the wires

going
from the compressor area to the capicator had melted and stopped

working.
The repair guy replaced the wires and the capicator. A few months later

it
happened again. A different repair from another company installed a

heavy
duty wiring kit and the unit worked again for a few months then stopped

when
the wires melted again.




Obviously the unit is pushing too much current through these wires. A
friend said that it might have a starter relay on top of the compression
that is not shutting off after the compresser is started. I have not

taken
it apart to look.


obviously...no.
You have not given the model number or serial number to the unit.

Depending
on the model and serial, you may have a couple of items, and if you will

get
that and either post it, or send it this way, we can pull up the unit, and
tell you what is the most likely problem.

Does this sound correct?


Nope...not always.

I don't understand why the repair guys wouldn't
know this? Any other suggestions on the cause of the problem?


See the reply above. Once I know what model and run line of unit you have,
then its a simple matter of pulling it up on cd and badda bing...there you
go.

The reason I need that, is that some of those had issues, that looked one
way, and were another.

Thanks,

Keith
