here's the question.
if you hook up your gauges and the high side reads 175 psi. low side 350 psi. your compressor is runner and it cycles of very noisely ever 10 minutes and the gauges don't move. Are the valves on the compressor shot?
i've checked amp draw, contactor, volts to compressor, ohmed it out, capacitor. Ive checked everything. I don't understand if the compressor is runner, why such a high suction side?
