I got this Frigidaire 10,000 btu window ac unit off of CL for cheap and want to rewire it so that my Ranco controler does all of the work. I have seen many of the builds here and have gotten a good idea of how to make it work but still want to make sure that I am doing it correctly for what I want.
So I want to have the compressor kick on, along with the low speed fan, when the Ranco trips it. The issue I am concerned about and have not seen addressed here is the "overload protector". I want to make sure that this thing will run cold right when the Ranco kicks it on. I already have a small bank of computer fans to defrost the coils that are going to be run off of my lager chamber ranco so I'm not worried about freezing it up. Here is the wiring diagram from my unit. Any other people who have done this and might have a diagram of the way to wire this bad boy that would be very helpful.
