Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the phase-shifted current to the compressor's start winding; if the capacitance drifts below tolerance, the motor will operate with inefficient torque and high amperage. This high current draw generates excessive heat within the windings, causing the internal thermal overload protector to trip and shut down the system. Replacing the capacitor restores the correct electrical phase relationship and stabilizes operating current.

High Pressure Switch
This safety device monitors the compressor's discharge pressure and is designed to break the control circuit if pressures exceed safe limits (typically 400-600 PSI). If the switch is faulty or if the outdoor coil is obstructed, the switch will immediately cut power to the contactor to prevent compressor housing failure. A new switch ensures the system only operates within safe thermodynamic parameters.

Single Pole AC Contactor
The contactor acts as a heavy-duty relay that bridges the high-voltage supply to the compressor. Over time, the silver-cadmium contacts can become pitted or 'charred,' creating high electrical resistance that results in a voltage drop during the run phase. This drop can cause the compressor to stall or the control board to sense a fault, resulting in a rapid shutdown.
