I've done my do diligence with that compressor. I'm not new to the 3ph motor care and feeding.

I will give it a proper burial. It will tip the scales nicely at the scrap yard. It just didn't pump any volume of refrigerant. The 6.25 ton went into the same machine and once the rotation and charge were right, it went straight to work. Making lots of heat.

I had entertained the thought of cutting it apart to see what the issue was. But as I had mention I've enough time invested and lots more projects that need me.

I've had to let my solar wall winter over once. I'd like to try to get it up before that white stuff again. To-date one panel is in place about 6 ft. I have about 8 ft. worth of risers soldered ready for the bottom and top manifolds. I may be able to get at least half the solar wall operational before the bone cracking cold.

OOOOHHH free heat. Just for the collecting.
