Heat worked fine all winter. Turned on A/C and blew a fuse. Replaced 3amp fuse and worked for a few minutes and blew another fuse. Checked all connections, filter, obstructions, need help...

My Amana A/C unit keeps blowing fuses. The heat worked fine all winter. I have replaced the fuse 3 times, checked all the connections for corrosion... The manual says that it could be reverse polarity? How do I check this? THe unit outside is not blocked. It is only 3 years old. Filter looks good, 3months old, no obstructions in house??? Need help?

If your blowing fuses then you have something grounded or shorted. By grounded I mean a wire has come loose and is touching the cabinet or a part that allows it to go to ground or your motor, capcitor or compressor is shorted.

I have a duo therm model 57915531. i have checked the breakers all the fuses and the thermostat. i have found a 3 amp fuse in the control panel of the roof unit. this fuse was blown. i replaced it and it...

That unit has a thermostat I believe and 12 or 24 volts to power it. The 3 amps tells me it may be either line or low voltage, see manual. the fuse blows due to a short in the control circuit, a transformer if low voltage.

Goodman furnace

double check your wiring. R terminal on the furnace will provide 24 volts to the t-stat. W terminal in the t-stat will send 24 volts back to the furnace W terminal to turn on the heat. G terminal in the t-stat will send power to the G terminal in the furnace when the t-stat is switched to fan on. Y terminal in the t-stat will send power to the Y terminal in the furnace which in turn will send 24 volts to the A/C outside. The C terminal in the furnace should be connected to the c terminal in the A/C outside as well as to the T-stat. Check the fuse again

Unit was working fine. turned off for a few minutes. will not come back on.,

Sounds like the breaker tripped, either in your breaker box or in the shut off switch located next to the outdoor condensor. This could be also either one or two of the fuses blew and need to be replaced

Car Amp keeps blowing fuses

The reason why fuses blow is that the current is too much. Is the fuse rating according to the specs ? If yes then ... One or more output power transistor (or audio power IC) may be shorted. have it checked before replacing another fuse as this might cause more damage.
