sup man. everytime i turn my heat pump hot/cold it humms at the contactor. no fan or compressor sound. but the contactor is switching in and staying in when energized. any thoughts on this? also i noticed there is a capicitor (not swelled) and a hard start hooked up to this.
@21footxpress This is true! I used the existing contactor because it was just installed day before but I came prepared to do a 24V or 230v contactor coil.
@dizziedallas No problem Dallas! You're very knowledgeable when it comes to HVAC! Now if I ever run into this out in the field 10 years from now when my business is going good, I'll know what to do! I learn something new from you HVAC guys on YouTube every day! Thanks!
Hey Dallas!! Awesome job man! That is good thinking, much better than trying to
fight all the T bar ceilings and stuff to access everything on the inside. Problem solved for good!! Nice, neat install, the box looks like it belongs there!
@AVTreasures Hey Ray ! I had to come up with something fast! I have invented frankenbox!! It sure does beat running new control wire! Thanks for watching!
The Fan coil Transformer may be failing too ! i'd Definately Replace the Transformer--- With a 100 va if it will fit in the Fan Coil unit. A Fresh Transformer Definately Sounds like it is Needed.
if u have trouble with the relay chattering in the future you might want to replace the fan coil Transformer with a 75 or 100va Transformer because of the long run and up the t-stat wire size to 12 guage. use 12 guage thhn stranded wire beacuse it is over a 100ft run.
Wow!! That was an Ingenious solution! Way to go Dallas!

Could you have also used a contactor with a 230v coil and let the pilot relay control the 230v to the contactor coil.
