The control coil of AC Contactor no 24 
V AC power 
Check if the relay P2 of 3-minute timer board 
have current output ,if not ,check if    P1、 P3 
have 24 V AC input , if have 24V AC ,
please check if it    keep for 3 minutes, if so 
and P2 no output ,change the 3-minute 
timer board;  if keep time < 3 minutes  ,P2 
no output ; if  P1 、P3 no24V AC, first 
check the thermostat C  、Y terminal   have 
24 V AC,if no 24 V AC,then check the 
thermostat or reset the setting temp.; if have 
24 V AC ,check if the C Y and P1、 P3 
connection wire cut off or fasten loosely,if 
cut off  ,then change the parts.

Wait for 2 hours for overload to reset. 
Replace compressor if still open. 
Low voltage condition  At compressor terminals, voltage must be 
within 10% of rating plate volts when unit is 
running.
