Rheem rpka-030 jaz bypassing timer control
Replacing my main contactor again due to cold solder joint caused by corrosion on the timer control. I tried bypassing the timer, because my digital thermostat (Honeywell rth 7000 series) already has one. Have the yellow from the thermostat going to one side of the coil on the contactor and the brown going to the compressor on the other side. Thing is, I check for voltage on this wire, and I've got nothing on any of the wires coming from the thermostat, which shows that it's on. I'm just checking for that 24vac point to ground, so I believe I'm doing that right. I just don't know where the 24vac is coming from. I'm a little frustrated, and it's 87 degrees in the house right now. Some help would be great.
