Re: Compressor Tripping Breaker
Hi dadyg.
I think what the guys are implying is that yours is a pretty basic question for a chief engineer.
Simply put if the breaker is tripping either something within the circuit it supplies has shorted out.
Or the breaker itself is tired and needs replacement.
A common component that fails is any solenoid coils.
But in fairness it could be any no of components.
If you cant yourself get your sparks to check it out!

Re: Compressor Tripping Breaker
In many cases it seems that all we can do is speculate on the why , because of the lack of imormation given.

Re: Compressor Tripping Breaker
If the implied question is, "Why is the breaker tripping?, then the obvious answer is , "Because of the dead short".
Or perhaps you have another question in mind? We can't read your mind. If you want answers, you need to ask questions.

Re: Compressor Tripping Breaker
I know it's late but hope everyone out there had a safe and relaxing Labor Day holiday. Thought you might enjoy this short story. Received a late night cell phone call from " customer-owner " who left following message. " I have smoke, sparks and stinky smell from top of cooler. Looks like it is from black box next to big round black machine. What should I do? Maybe you might want to come in and turn it off. Regular bartender is off and I don't know what to do. Thanks and have a good night. Guys...I swear on a stack of bibles ...where do they come from??? Feisty
Don't leave it like you found it.....Leave it like it should be !!!
