What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

I replaced my AC condenser capacitor and fan motor, but the fan still will not turn. Here are photos of the wiring diagram and the actual wiring. Find misrouted wires, name each component, and walk me through safe corrections. Warn me about 220V hazards. I will verify against repair videos before touching live circuits.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Find AC condenser wiring mistakes from photos and guide a safe fix.

Questions to ask me first:
- What parts did you already replace, and what still fails?
- Do you have the wiring-diagram photo and several angles of the harness?
- What is your electrical experience with 220V equipment?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Unit: [AC CONDENSER]
- Parts replaced: [CAPACITOR / FAN MOTOR]
- Photos: [DIAGRAM + WIRING ANGLES]

Rules:
- Call out 220V danger up front.
- Identify components before suggesting swaps.
- If diagram lines intersect and confuse the read, say so and ask for another angle.
- I verify against independent repair videos before energizing.

Checkpoint: List suspected miswires and wait before I change anything.

If you get stuck: If photos are unclear, request specific new angles instead of guessing.

Verify before you finish: Each correction names both ends of the wire.

Output: Component map, miswire list, ordered safe steps, and a stop-if-unsure line.

Done when: The fan runs after a careful power-on check, or I call a technician.

Outcome

After a technician quoted about $2,000 to repair an AC condenser (or $25,000 for a new system), Neama Dadkhahnikoo replaced the capacitor and fan motor from videos, then found the fan still would not turn. Photos of the wiring diagram and the wire nest went into the Gemini app (Gemini 2.5 Pro). Gemini flagged misrouted wires, helped identify components, and after iterative checks—and verifying against YouTube HVAC videos—the corrected wiring worked. Neama notes the model sometimes misread intersecting diagram lines and needed multiple angles.
