Dual Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the essential electrical 'push' for the start and run windings of the compressor and fan. If the capacitance (uF) drifts outside of the +/- 5% tolerance, the motor draw will exceed the Rated Load Amps (RLA), causing the internal bimetallic thermal overload disk to trip. Once cooled, it resets, creating the 'start and stop' loop reported by the user.

Condenser Fan Motor
If the fan motor bearings have seized or the windings have shorted, it will fail to reject heat from the condenser coils. This results in a rapid increase in refrigerant temperature and high-side pressure. The high-pressure switch (HPS) acts as a safety interrupt, breaking the circuit to the contactor coil to prevent catastrophic compressor damage.

High Pressure Switch
This safety component monitors the pressure of the refrigerant exiting the compressor. If it becomes electrically pitted or the internal diaphragm fails, it may trigger a false 'open' signal at nominal pressures, immediately shutting down the unit as soon as the compressor creates a standard pressure differential.
