Well most of the time, depending on the degree of ground/burn it will take out the other compressor. It the same thing as replacing a single compressor without cleaning up the system. You may get lucky, at least I hope so !
Totally agree. It's always recommended that you replace a trio or tandem when one compressor is a burnout. However most customers will not want to pay for that. Luckily I did an acid test and it came out negative, however you never know if there was a mechanical failure and shavings such as from the bearings got in the oil.
Thanks. Left it active. The building needed that additional circuit active. Chiller was calling for compressor 1 and 3 to engage. However only compressor 3 was running.
Nice channel✅✅
Thanks. Will have more videos coming soon and starting some HVAC tool reviews as well.

Great troubleshooting, but did you leave that circuit active or off on the options program ?
