Is it bad for a window air conditioner to get wet?

October 26th, 2010

Obviously the very outside of the thing would be designed to hold up to rain, but one of the two storm windows is out. It’s raining pretty hard right now, so water is pouring down on the top of the entire thing, except for what’s inside the inner part of the window, including some vents (or intakes maybe) that would normally have been shielded by the second storm window. I don’t know if I should take the thing out or what.

How do you replace an air conditioner fan motor that has a 3 prong capacitor with one that has a two prong?

October 22nd, 2010

I’m trying to replace our AC compressor fan motor. The old one had a three prong capacitor with one wire running to the contactor then the fan motor, one wire running directly to the motor and a 3rd wire running to the actual compressor. The motor the parts store gave me is only a two prong capacitor. I know both of the wires from the fan motor go to different sides, but now where do I put the wire from the actual compressor?
