Great video Lex! I have a question if it was a short on the green wire which is fan, what would that indicate?

[@LexVance]

Robert Munguia I would look for a nic or see if the green wire was skinned up & shorting on something first. If there was no sign of damage on green, I'd remove the green wire from the t stats G slot. then I'd take a wire that's not being used in the t stat & put it in the G slot on the t-stat & put that same wire where the green was inside the air handler. That's all there is to it! Thank you so much for watching Robert! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

[@robertmunguia250]

Lex Vance oh ok so it wouldn’t be the fan that is shorted because it’s 208-230v right?

They try to reach 70 degrees and it's reading 74 the air temp is good 57° coils are clean fan is blowing good pressures are good. I tell them they're not going to reach 70 degrees. The rooms have 2 ton units inside and out. It should be enough to cover the square footage in the room cuz it's not very big do you ever get this kind of issues and how did you deal with it? Oh work in south texas. Hot as hell here

Daniel Martinez All the time! I say to them as I point up at the ceiling that "its literally 180 degrees on the other side of the sheet rock". And, that they live on the 3rd floor & heat rises. I do that after I show them that their system is good. I make sure they see me taking wet bulb readings & checking the coil & everything. I have an app called "Emerson Check & Charge" that I show them on my phone with all the calculations and saying every thing is good.The app is free in your play store. The ceiling insulation sucks at apartments. Always has been & always will be. Sometimes I tell'em that if I have to. I live in Florida. Its been 108 heat index here. I feel your pain skid.

A short in the yellow wire. Thank you so much for watching Michael! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

[@mikemc8495]

I know that. I'm asking if it could possibly be somebody that live below crimping a wire or something in that matter.

Is that jumper maintenance made or did you buy it ?

[@LexVance]

NooseNoob I made it. A dirty maintenance custom. I was thinking about making a bunch & selling them. Thank you so much for watching NooseNoob! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com

[@InsanitykkillsX]

Lex Vance you should ! It looks better than the amazon one. Do you ever do microwave repairs ?

[@LexVance]

NooseNoob Yep! I have a video where I replace a microwave magnetron because it wasn't heating the food. Just turning on.

[@InsanitykkillsX]

Lex Vance yeah i was trying to fix this microwave that wasnt heating. I checked continuity on the door switches but im not sure if some are normally open or normally closed and it doesnt specify on the wiring diagram ethier.

[@LexVance]

NooseNoob I always change magnetron when its not heating food.

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

Should have just done the diagnosis right at the air handler.. much easier to determine what side short is on.

[@kro7991]

Why do good guys subject ourselves to management companies? They cash all the checks and guys like us do all the work.

[@jamesrockford5145]

Lex I know you found your niche. Your comments on getting into appliance repair. No hurry, I know your busy, thanks.

[@LexVance]

Heck yea! I think that's a fantastic business to get into. It can't get outsourced & appliances will always break down sooner or later so the work will always be there. Thank you so much for watching James! www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
