Re: can figure it out

Did he check to see if he has power going to the compressor?
Did he install the correct compressor?
Did he check amp draw for the compressor?

Re: can figure it out

Is it a combination fan / hermetic run capacitor ?If it is i have seen bad capacitors rite out of the box.Have him check his wiring again common and run wire reversals are bad.If it is having low voltage conditions at start try a Potential and start capacitor start kit with the MFD/Volt range recommended by the compressor manufacture.I would stay away from PTCR type (Aka Hotdog)

Well judging from the date of the post and the poster didn't replied so maybe it is repaired.
