What to do if my Maritime Geothermal TF Heat Pump compressor will not start?

If your compressor won't start, there could be several reasons: * A faulty control board: Replace the control board. * A faulty run capacitor (single phase only): Replace it if faulty. * Loose or faulty wiring: Fix any loose connections and replace any damaged wires. * A faulty compressor contactor: Replace the contactor. * Thermal overload on the compressor tripped: Refer to Operation Troubleshooting to determine the cause. * Burned out motor (open or shorted windings): Replace the compressor. * Motor shorted to ground: If any terminal to ground is not infinite, replace the compressor. * Seized compressor: Attempt to “rock” compressor free. If normal operation cannot be established, replace the compressor.
