I may have prematurely announced all was well with the Res.
Temps continued to rise since my last post.
Current Res. Temps…
Those temps don’t look right. Lights have been off for 2 hours. I’m now wondering IF I put the Res. Temp Sensor back in the Res or is it dangling out of the Res. 
I had the top of it off earlier this morning (last night). I do not believe that to be the case.
I convinced myself I’d have to go get the A/C unit in the Loft down and throw it in the Under-Loft…the one I was dreading having to hoist down in reverse of how I hoisted it up there. Dreading it!
I have the Twin to that A/C unit in the Classroom, the one that didn’t work…from my Sisters place. Before her place burned up.
I decided now was as good a time to diagnose it as any other time. I took mine apart a while back, years…and I sort of remembered how it broke down, came apart.
What’s that above? We all know what that is!
It wasn’t until I got the front section separated from the rest of it…disconnecting and marking what I disconnected.
The above is likely the culprit (I won’t know until I repair it to find out). I gave the whole thing the once over and I didn’t see anything until I got the front removed.
Having found the break I needed to find the other end of it. It wasn’t obvious but swinging the loose end up and around to its extent the likely location of the other end of that damaged wire seemed to reach into the rats nest.
That’s it! Zoom in and you can see the shredded end of the wire.
I rerouted the wire to get me a little extra length to make up for what I had to cut off to get to a good end and some overlap when I solder it together.
I’ll tin the ends, solder them together, then heat shrink it and see IF it works.
So, a little change in plans. Emergency A/C Repair & Swap! 14,000 BTU’s to 9,000BTU’s.
IF this works it should make for a better piece of equipment to keep the heat at bay.
Once I get the new (repaired) A/C unit in place I’m going to Drain and Refill the Reservoir to ensure things don’t go South on me.
It’s twin works amazingly well. The control panel on the twin doesn’t work - broken segments…can’t read it BUT It works great with the remote control.
But, I’m ready for a nap! My Electrician got me up WAY early this morning. He came by to finish up with the Ceiling Fan Control Swap.
He’s coming back around the middle of next week to add a couple of 120V circuits and at least one 240V circuit. He’s been busy, that’s why he hasn’t been back since his last visit here weeks ago.
Hopefully 
soon! 
Edit Add: That did not go as well as I had hoped. I can’t get the solder to flow properly. I don’t think it is Flux Core solder…I thought it was. I sort of got is soldered together, barely. IF it is a good connection, which I don’t believe it is, then the repair failed. Take another look around. Make sure I plugged the terminations back into place sufficiently. Oh, I also couldn’t find my Shrink Tube kit. I know I’ve seen it here! Will consider further.
Edit Add II: I found the shrink tube. Exactly where I thought I had last seen it but the kit was showing me a face that didn’t register with my Thought Process Machine! My overripe melon was telling me to look for the translucent case.

and that should be taken into consideration.
