You ohm a CSR compressor and record the following resistance readings: Common to Run one ohm, Common to Start four ohms, Run to Start five ohms, Common to Ground three ohms, Run to Ground four ohms, Start to ground one ohm. You decide to change the compressor because:

-the internal thermostat is open
-the run winding is open
-the start winding is grounded
- the run winding is grounded

start winding is grounded because it has the least amount of resistance to ground

(easiest path)
