Pinched wires at the condenser is nice to locate... I wonder why the cover
isn't installed correctly??? Hummmmm, lets leave this screw out as the cover
isn't fitting right...
Yep, pull the cover and the wiring isn't located within the wiring box.
Repair the wiring, tuck it in and the cover fits. Now the missing screw will
reach the cabinet.
The last company just replaced the fuse and left. I guess it must have been
a lot easier to replace a fuse and tell the customer it's ok... yep, till
the next time the wiring hits the improperly installed cover!

It also might be a 90 hour week catching up with the Tech. Field techs,
unlike Union suckoffs, really work hard enough to get tired.
