4TTR3 compressor starting has an ordered diagnostic path
The XR13 guide asks whether the contactor is energized and whether voltage reaches the coil. Its compressor-start chart also includes start components and the run capacitor. These are technician checks: the chart supports diagnosis before a compressor replacement decision, rather than a universal capacitor rating.
According to Trane XR13 4TTR3 installation guide, 18-AC79D1-8-EN:
