What's the app you use to check your pressure and sub cooling/superheat ? Thanks!

Looks so easy. As far as the water spilled, I'm sure you know the temperature up there. It drys fast!

Install a lower merv filter and change or clean more often

400 bucks for a retired guy not so much, whew! nice but over my pay grade...

Good stuff bro 💯

Very nice tutorial on a PSC Blower Motor Replacement. Thanks for sharing KNOWLEDGE... MUCH RESPECT.

Same issue, annoying as hell

I just kept an old wire harness and cut off one end and kept those wires attached to the 1,3,12,and 15 positions. I then added a red and blue wire as required to bundle those pairs of wires. Now we just plug it into motor and connect at r and c terminals.

I’ve seen this before after a maintenance guy left capacitor wire loose touching metal too and grounded compressor

Like your load out, you need to check out the cobra auto adjust pliers

Interesting didnt know their woz a strainer in indoor liquid line flare section Youve a good understanding 😀

Hey man, I wish you could work on my system! Do you have that link you mentioned around 5:55?

I just turned 36 today. I start airconditioning Technology august 19th. Im nervous as I can be. Im tired of working crappy jobs that pay little. Im just really nervous that Im gonnna crash and burn.

Without this video and since you were the last to touch this unit, they would have blamed you for this, as they always do. Good thing you shoot video for this channel. It just saved your rear.

Thanks that is a good remedy and alternative. As soon as my parts arrive I will have to do the same thing to my badly corroded screws in my bath tub faucets. Thanks!!

I have a feeling that the compressor had been running hot for sometime due to the darkening of the label on the compressor. I was told by a emerson copeland rep that if the label is discolored, and looks crinkled and coming off compressor then that is a sign of compressor overheating or running hot. Label should be white in color and completely adheared to the compressor housing. This looks like a heat pump, and looks to be in good shape and not too old plus its a lennox. Heat pumps are way more expensive than a straight cool unit so most definitely worth putting in a new compressor. I would check everything over before hand. I feel the run cap had nothing to do with it. If wired wtong compresdor wont start, if you get fan and herm backwards fan will take off like a rocket and overheat and either go off on thermal overload or burn up. If the mfd is too big for compressor it will overheat and trip the thermal. You need to check the mfd rating on the capacitor and verify it with the copeland app or contact lennox directly. My thought is maybe someone tried to savatage this unit by installing a cap that had a much bigger mfd rating than it calls for. I have seen this a few times. Compressor going off on thermal because the last tech installed one of a bigger value.

With hardstart kit you can have a bad Run cap and compressor will startup and appear to run normally, just run current will be high and power factor will be low. Run cap has little contribution to startup when there is a large start capacitor with hardstart kit. Electrolytic start capacitor and potential relay have poor reliability. Suspect them first. I would also have given it a new start capacitor just because they have limited lifespan with their fluid electrolyte drying out over time. Capacitance drops as electrolyte dries out from capacitor heating over time.

Yep I’ve started going straight to the high pressure switch when leak searching this unit

I believe what happened here is the herm wire was sandwiched between the frame of the condenser and the edge of the capacitor, which is all grounded, which means the start wire had a direct short to ground. Turn on the power and BOOM 💥💥.

Man I just learned so much about my unit

So who eats the compressor the company or home owner????????

It's not very clear to me how a tech caused this failure, was an incorrect capacitor installed or not?

Seen this before on a service call, quite amazing how the harness comes off. I'd like to witness this happen!

Awesome video !

NO crawl space, SEWAGE IN CRAWL SPACE. NOPE!

Ive heard a lot of their meters go bad if you store them with the leads connected🤔good thing they have good warranty tho

Yes, a reminder, filter … You had me laughing when you caught the filter & said, idiot !!! Little mistakes we have in common 😂

Whats the model of the fieldpiece bluetooth thermo couples your using?

Nope...

Was that a cooling maint or a break down call?

Honestly I dont recomend crappy filters. I would do a static test , adjust the fan speeds, record delta T differences.

I had a sattelite dish I backed up into not realizing it had a huge asian hornet nest on it. It was like thw craziest camoflouge nice find.

Exposed live wires, and now this?! WTH!

Yikes, how many did there end up being? I could only make out the one.

I am a mechanic right now but it’s really killing me how the system works… I really want a change and am thinking of starting tech school for hvac next month

U do alot of service calls… Any install videos? Would like to see a different side of your hvac skills 👍🏽

I'm a trucker considering HVAC. What salary can I anticipate from the 1st year? Whats the best route? Community college? Tech or trade school? Thanks

Did a HP replacement Monday as well.

✊✊✊✊✊🇨🇺

What clamp meter is that my guy?

Wish you were my tech

Wow thats a big PD for a filter 😢

This doesn't make the screw "too long" because it's no longer threading into the stem, this requiring to cut the screw a little shorter (or buya slightly shorter screw)? (Awesome adaptation btw! I doubt I would've ever thought of this! You can work with me any time!)

So at 4:10 you mention you have 31 psi on low side and 56 on high side. Not so. Those are temperatures, specifically saturation temperatures hence the degree symbol along with and F just below the number. The psi reading you refer to is below your sat temps.

Making a note to never hire this cat! First he lets water go all over the insulation of this homeowners attica Then decides to pour insulation down the newly cleaned drain line!

What was the app please

Don't dip the lines in mud, yikes i worry about where that stuff has gone.

aciq startup quick list to retorque flares when first using heat pump mode. once hot.

I'm in the military, so payment wouldn't be an issue if I decided to go to school.

What’s the make and model of the Amazon pump you tested?
