I have not taken any measurements on the unit, neither did any of the
technicians who worked on it. One tech said that he would be glad to keep
charging me $100 for each visit to replace the wires. Otherwise, I should
buy a new unit. I will do that if I have to but not sure I need a new unit
to fix the problem.

I bought the house 4 years ago and the unit was about 5 years old when I
bought the house. I don't know that is has ever been flushed. Neither tech
suggested that to me.

What is the amp draw at that wire? When was the last time the condenser
was
flushed?

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
