Lennox HS29-024-1p buzzing in the contactor.
The fan nor compressor will start up and the buzzing is certainly coming from the contactor as I can feel the vibration and hear the noise from that part.
The YouTube videos I watched were pretty clear it was the startup capacitor so I replaced it and the dual capacitor.
I made sure to solder the 15k ohm resistor back on the new startup cap and the leads are firmly connected and in the correct spots.
The fan and compressor make no tiny motions or sounds at all.
The contactor buzzing noise seems much quieter than before I replaced the caps.
The buzzing is continuous but I don't allow it to go on for more than 30-60 seconds.
So the problem is actually the contactor itself or the extra dangling capacitor that's on my unit, that's not in the wiring diagram, or the potential relay or the compressor itself?
Maybe I should pull the extra cap and see if these two brand new caps are enough to start up the unit.
Why would the extra cap be added? It's connected to a slender wire running back up the freon line into the house to the cutoff switch on the side of the furnace.
EDIT1: I tried holding down the contactor for a manual start and it resisted and buzzed very loudly.
EDIT2: Ahha, I've inspected the wiring several times but I missed the chew marks at the very top of the wires running from that extra cap to the cooling fan. There is s till some copper but maybe not enough.
I'll have to use the ohm meter and check every wire even though I don't see any chew marks on the rest.
Must been a mouse.
