A couple of years ago I took the opportunity of buying four brand new sealed unit compressors. (Kirloskar AH5515E 1.2 hp) which were old stock. I used two of the compressors without problems. However, after two years I have installed the other two only to find in each case that they won't start and the rotors are locked.
I have made sure the system was not overcharged and there wasn't any blockages in the piping. I have also made sure the wiring and power to the motors is correct.
I now wish I had bench tested them before installation but I have never had this happen to me before.
I can only assume that the pistons have seized over the years due to corrosion or something else.
If I could get compressors to start they will probably be OK.
Has anyone experienced this problem or have any suggestions.
