A $25 replacement power cord is cheap insurance knowing the recipient won&#8217;t be burning down their house because of you. The new cord OD was larger than the previous one so I measured the existing cord clamp, modeled it in Fusion 360 widening the clearing a bit and printed it. Worked like a charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I noticed the compressor was running, but the fan was not. I measured the start capacitor and it was fine, and in that process I removed the spade terminals then reconnected them. Maybe just a bad connection. Fuses were good, too. Winning by default is still winning in my book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gallery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/5sDtGyQgN6khrwwR9\">https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/5sDtGyQgN6khrwwR9<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AirConditioners\/s\/wGeZy4JtUK<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service manual PDF (from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manualslib.com\/manual\/2519484\/Lg-Lp0621wsr.html\">https:\/\/www.manualslib.com\/manual\/2519484\/Lg-Lp0621wsr.html<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-90353a9f-65a7-4ec1-9784-5af3f475d38d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/lp0621wsr.pdf\">lp0621wsr<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/lp0621wsr.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-90353a9f-65a7-4ec1-9784-5af3f475d38d\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symptoms History Things to check Solution The power cord was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1144"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1272,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions\/1272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andersknelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
