    Carrier cant get compressor and condenser fan to run together
    Carrier air cooled unit

    Condenser fan runs fine and then goes off when compressors kick in

    Can't get both to run together

    Off course compressors will also stop on thermal shutoff I guess

    Any ideas what's up

    Changed freon filters both compressors c 164 s

    Freon cked again after 164 installed today

    Thanks

    History?

    Let's say this was a new install with the same lines and suppose some dirt or a bug crawled into the line because it wasn't capped. So, I'm suggesting it's cutting out on one of the pressure switches.

    Reason could be debris or incompatible oils. Need history.

    Not sure if that info is available at the Infinity Stat or if your outside unit uses the ABCD bus. If you have both, then the info is likely in the error logs of the Infinity control.

    Otherwise, do the troubleshooting the hard way.
