The compressor will get warm with one winding continuously being energized. The PTC (positive temperature coefficient ) resistor is required to start the compressor with a high current. After a few seconds, the PTC's resistance increases because of self-heating, which lowers the current in the...

What went wrong? The label is readable :mischievous:

It's the perfect temperature outside for a few homemade Kölsch to cool off, feels like 106°F.
