Accidentally Fixing One! But I’m Taking Full Credit!

I’m currently installing a 7.5 ton at colony bank. In the attic.. 😩

[@Dmcbigboy8687]

Good job enlarging the return. Not sure if you realized it but that is what caused your blower motor to stop working. There wasn't enough airflow when the air handler was closed up and trying to pull through that small return. Then when you pulled the 24v you reset the system. It came on and ran fine,before you enlarged the return, because it was pulling air through the big hole where i believe a door goes.

[@AllTattedUp13]

Bro that would be a limit, and that would be during heating season, not ac season 🤦🤦 if it was lacking return airflow during ac, you'd have a froze up coil.

[@Dmcbigboy8687]

Not with that unit...if the blower isn't pulling or pushing enough air(high static pressure) the blower stops working to keep blower from going bad. Also unit will go out on flash code, which we see happen, that has to be manually reset.

[@JimAlderson-cn6ek]

U may be back had nortech board # that would do what that on is doing drop out pull off red wire board would reset and after wile would drop out again those boards have problems

[@jthonn]

It happens sometimes. At least it's running now. Hilarious how they were going to use that little bitty filter. The filters on small window units are bigger than that. I find it amazing how they leave these units wide open. Nice work. I'm glad that lump on your best friend was benign. Have a good one.

[@ranger178]

i put in a giant 20 x 30 return air grill which i put 4-inch-thick filters so i am good all summer on one filter LOL

[@billbrown1476]

Just gotta ask....did you ever find the Breaker Panel. The barking dogs on some of your videos don't bother me like they do others. But those chirping Smoke Detectors are really annoying. 😂

[@Goodfella0982]

good question, lol! And for those smoke detectors, I twist them open and just unplug the wire connection and it shuts up

[@HVACGUY]

No. I never found it

[@chrisjardine2201]

Like just about every other device with any kind of computer if all else fails, reboot it. I'd say that's what happened when you broke the low voltage. I do computers for a living and have worked on some chip level computer equipment and I have to tell my end users, first restart the thing and see what happens. Weird stuff happens and it can't hurt. Thanks for all your videos.

[@kevinwalker4623]

Agree, not just reboot, shut it down, unplug, and let it come back up

[@143tinaed]

Another great job 👏

Nice job, Curtis! Sometimes, you can't explain weird problems with controls.

[@harveystephens6115]

Thought red wire nut was loose causing blower not to come on initially. Enjoyed

[@chatrkat]

I am less than impressed with that air handler and condenser, as well as how it is installed new. Interesting video diagnosing the problem. You did right changing the intake grill. I’m afraid I would have taken a hammer to that smoke detector if I was the tech on site.

Thanks for watching!

Did you notice the water droplet stains on the plate separating the blower and control compartment. Makes me think that unit was underwater or condensation.

[@DJV94022]

Mr curtis, i was sent out by my company one time in fall time to a no heating call it was a brand new lennox units long story short lennox board requires you to cut off jumper on the computer looking board so it can go into heat..on the regular air handlers you pull the white jumpers off but on that unit you needed to cut off the circuit board .i did it with nail clippers cause it was easier lol

I hate when people don’t put a Downflow AH on a box. They should have at least built an 8” curb box, makes servicing them so much easier

Does anybody see the evaporator not getting even airflow due to just having a opening instead of some type of fitting to direct the air evenly. Just curious

Could you please order a new smoke detector battery too? Those things beeping low battery status really get on my nerves. lol

Is it me, or do I see water stains on the metal near the blower? Maybe water from the evaporator coil getting to the board and electrical. Down flow units can be problematic.
