STEP 2 Confirm DC voltage output on compressor
solenoid plug
11 − Shut power off to outdoor unit.
12 − Supply 24 volts AC control voltage to the wire ends of
the full wave rectifier plug. Listen for a click" as the sole-
noid is energized. See figure 6.

13 − Unplug the full wave rectifier plug from the fusite con-
nection on the compressor.
14 − Turn the low voltage power back onto the unit. Supply
24VAC to the wires of the full wave rectifier plug. Set volt
meter to DC volts and measure the DC voltage at the fe-
male connector end of the full wave rectifier plug. The
DC voltage reading should be 1.5 to 3 volts lower than
the input voltage to the plug wire leads. (EX: Input volt-
age is 24VAC output voltage is 22VDC). See figure 7.

If the above checks verify that the solenoid plug is provid-
ing power to cycle into high capacity operation, continue
to step 3 to determine if problem is with solenoid coil in
compressor
STEP 3 Confirm internal unloader solenoid has prop-
er resistance
15 − Shut all power off to unit (main and low voltage)
16 − Unplug the molded plug from the compressor solenoid
2−pin fusite.

Replace the Compressor under these conditions:
Bad Solenoid
a. Measure the resistance at the 2−pin fusite. See figure 8.
The resistance should be 32 to 60 ohms depending on
compressor temperature. If no resistance replace com-
pressor.
b. Measure the resistance from each fusite pin to ground.
There should not be continuity to ground. If solenoid coil
is grounded, replace compressor.
Good Solenoid
a. Seals not shifting, replace compressor
b. Slider ring not shifting, replace compressor.
