Hi everyone,
The other night I was on a roof in the snow with a torch in my mouth trying to find out why some AC did not work........I hate my job.
Anyway, someone had dented the outdoor unit fan gaurd which smashed the fan and caused the whole unit to wobble when running. This caused an unused terminal screw to fall out of the contactor onto the electrics chasis and rattle and wedge in between the live and earth terminals, this blew the fuse.
What a string of unlucky events.
The unit is a Toshiba RAV 462 AH8-PE and I need to fit a new fan/fan motor. They have an old RAV 460 AH8-PE lying redundant on the roof. The 460 has two extra wires on the fan connector block so I did not want to swap it.
Does anyone know if this fan motor can be put in place of the faulty one? I did not have a circuit diagram.
Perhaps the extra wires are for an internal overload, if so would it matter if these weren't used?
Thanks
