2007 3t R22 closet upflow HP. System down upon arrival. Diagnostic discovered - Compressor was not turning over when calling to do so. Discovered a failed 45/5 dual run capacitor. Before replacement, I asked the homeowners if I could find out why the capacitor has failed. Upon further investigation - I MEGOHM the compressor and 2 out of 3 legs jumped to the caution status - this indicates the insulation on the motor windings are deteriorating and an imminent compressor short is soon to follow. Once I replaced the dual run capacitor, I was able to get the system on again. Diagnostic discovered - Compressor inrush amperage exceeds manufacturer specifications indicating continuous damage on compressor as it is pulling more energy than designed. Refrigerant charge was well outside of manufacturer tolerance. Condenser unit it not level. Evidence of acidic material eating away at aluminum fins on the bottom sides of condenser coils. I asked to look into the indoor unit - permission grant
