Oh No! The Compressor Is Dead

Lately the circuit breaker inside the compressor keeps tripping.
I’ve been using it anyway, just resetting it each time it happens,
but finally…
the motor won’t run at all—just goes “nnn-nnn-nnn” ★
Without a compressor, there’s really not much we can do…
 

 
So I pulled the motor out ★
It’s a Panasonic—a brand we trust completely…
Since nothing I tried would get it running, I figured I’d take it apart,
so I swept off the dust,
sprayed contact cleaner on the electrical terminals,
checked the pulley movement,
and figured it didn’t look too bad, so I powered it up…
“It’s alive!!”
I treated it to an oil change with Newtech Bamboo oil,
and when I drained the water, 2.5 liters came out!!
Hang in there a while longer, buddy.
All’s well that ends well ★
