Found compressor not running, ohmed it out, and thought it would run, added a hard start kit after checking capacitor. Then caught an odd sound when trying to start.

Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe technician attempts to revive a failing compressor during a preventive maintenance call. Despite testing the capacitor and installing a hard start kit to overcome a potential startup issue, the compressor remains locked and non-functional, confirming that the unit is shot and requires replacement.
The capacitor is good.
I just added this.
See what happens.
The compressor would not start.
Uh-huh.
Lock it up.
And this compressor is shot.
All right, on that one,
I know the video is short and it don't show much,
but I wasn't prepared to do a video
because they called for a preventive maintenance.
I didn't have my camera with me and I wasn't filming.
But I had already owned out the compressor and checked the terminals,
and I thought maybe
with a hard start kit it'll run
but I was wrong so on that one I hope I get
the job to do the compressor that would
be a nice little job between you and me I hope it's not
under warranty if I get the job I'll post it
