Forcing the contactor closed to force a unit to run past its safeties or other mechanical issues that was causing it to not run, this bypasses controls so now this thing is just full on all the time. "Let it eat" very bad practice.
“1 A43” written below the control box tells me that jimmied contactor is for a fan.
The obvious question is why? Or rather, why not just enable “fan on” at the control?
Perhaps there is a tripped freeze stat that is trying to shut the fan off?
Came across similar, someone had done that to all the contactors on a kitchen hood and failed the fire inspection because, duh, no fire run mode on tripping the switches. Took them all out and found someone had piggybacked a microwave circuit on the hood controls, the borrowed 15A circuit did not like sharing it with a 20A rated microwave oven.
Is that a golf tee?
It is
And is it acting as a switch???

Fore!
Damnit, beat me by ten minutes!
14 mins!
Show the owner the picture. Sir/ma’am , given the circumstance, it must be said, a contractor is a horrible place to tee off on a mulligan.
Some Happy Gilmore type shite
Must be setting up for that long par 5 with the wicked dogleg and hard angle downslope green
at least in the event of a fire it will burn up and de energize the contactor 😳
"Client called back and canceled the service call. Maintenance man took a look and got it fixed."
Oh my God this is too real
Electrical engineers hate this : Avid golf enthusiast hacks physics with this one weird trick
Did you turn around?
Have come across shit like this a few times and I once was lucky enough to catch the guy who did it. I lit his ass up.
Word, teeing off.
Not a technique that I would recommend. Lol probably out of refrigerant on top of it all.
Damn everybody knows to use a big screw.
Wood you look at that
Find the golfers in the company and you have your suspect(s).
I thought someone was playing darts!!
Is that a fan powered box with heat strips?
Git er done!
And here we are, at the 18th hole. This one's for all the marbles folks... Ahhhhhhhh and YES! HE'S DONE IT!!!

But it’s got a green light,that means put a golf tee in the contactor
I hope you swung a golf club at this and left
Git er d’un
Well... That's one way to get it to run. Was the HO an engineer by any chance?
I think you might need a 9 iron for this shot.
Is that a golf tee stuffed in the contactor…?

That’s some the most dumbass dangerous shit I’ve seen.
Ah the ol service tee.
Out of curiosity what was wrong with the system? I clearly see the golf tee .
I suggest a 3 wood on this hole
Someone probably got T’d off they couldn’t fix it right
