Old cap started bulging and compressor wasn't kicking on in my heat pump. I took the cap to a supplier and they gave me a dual run cap to replace my run cap, ensuring me it would work as long as I didn't use the 'fan' post at all.
Problem is there are no marking to label posts on the old run capacitor, so I don't know which is which.
There were three wires run to a single post, and only one wire on the other.
Things I've read online tell me that 4 wires is not normal, so I don't know if they wired my fan onto a single run cap along with my compressor (is that even possible)? My house was built by the guy who underbid the lowest bidder it seems so it's possible there's some weird shit going on, or that I'm just wrong. I've found too many terrible construction choices on my house to not be wary though.
Any help identifying the poles would be appreciated.
