Re: (ET) E-15 Problem

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

If the contactors are clicking, it's not the main disconnect (though it 
sounds like yours needs replacement anyway).

If the power use meter pins when you try to run the ET, you have an open 
in 
the field circuit.  Most likely culprit is the reversing relay, but there 
are other possibilities such as loose / broken / corroded connections.

If the meter just sits there on zero, it's an open in the the armature 
circuit, which could be anywhere. The best troubleshooting method is to 
get 
the GE Homeowner's manual and follow its flowcharts.
