have a true two door with a Tecumseh compressor ae3425yaa
box was tripping gfi, no other items on circuit, eliminated cond. fan. evap fan and thermostat, also drain line heater, everything came back to compressor, without equipment ground the box would pop you pretty good, 47 volts.
changed compressor, second one in 16 months, first one locked rotor.
5 weeks after second compressor, same problem, checked resistance from common to run and start, no reading on either, turn unit on 122vac from compressor body to equipment ground
this one has me stumped, I feel like its a simple fix but cannot figure it out, do not want to risk another compressor, not good for customer or me.
