can you do this

[jennidbell]

can you take the anti short timer off without hurting the ac unit?also how can you test the timer to see if it is bad?

Hi,

Yes, it won't hurt anything, but is best to leave on or replace if it's bad.


Does it say Delay On Make or Delay On Break on it ?

What is brand and part number of it ?

To test, check 24V power coming in with t-stat calling for Cooling.

If there, test output wires going to Contactor coil.


You will need to know timing sequence.


Easy way is to turn off power to furnace and at t-stat.

Jumper across input and output of timer. Turn power back on and set t-stat to call for Cooling.

If it works, remove jumper and wait 5 minutes, then retry w/o jumper.


Thanks,
Robert

I replaced the anti short timer and the contactor and it seems to be fixed. I really appreciate all your help. You're awesome.
