Asking all you electricians.
My time delay on my outside unit is bad. I have to keep going outside and tap the unit for it to turn on. I have already replaced the contactor. I have a digital thermostat inside, that already delays for short cycle.
Can I bypass the outside delay? Connect the thermostat directly to the contactor?
The thermostat is connected to a circuit board on the outside unit, then from the board connects the contactor. Can I just unplug the 2 wires going from the thermostat to the board and go directly to the contactor? Being the digital thermostat has a delay already, there is no need for a second one of the outside unit? So no problems should occur? That circuit board doesnt change the voltage, right?
