My heat pump AC runs for about an hour, then the klixon opens.
amp draw through compressor for whole system is 12.5 amps. The fan and water pump draw 2.5 amps
So the compressor steadily draws 10 amps. This is a 120vac compressor.
Can you decipher the klixon code part number? I was thinking the 135 is the temperature it would click off at.
There is a central adjustment with lock nut, can it be adjusted towards the higher temp side, which way to turn, it may be out of spec. This klixon is from 1978 AFAIK.
When it clicks off, the compressor shell is not that hot feeling to me. Maybe moving it a small amount would fix the problem.
