(2): A/C ~10Kbtu/hr -- tries 10 or 20 times before compressor turns on.
A/C keeps trying (you can hear it), MANY times, eg 10, sometimes
maybe even 20, before you hear the compressor finally turn on. MAYBE it's simply because it's so hot here (10mi north of NYC) that everyone's running their own AC's, that the voltage is down? (Once I checked with one or several VOM's -- seemed ok to me. But I'll try again after posting this, just to get a general discussion going.) How low should the voltage get to cause such a try-try-try problem? Also, in the last "n" years, have the AC manufaacturers tried to build around the "everyone's running their AC's and voltage is a bit (a tad) low"? If so, about when did that change take place? THANKS! David |
