American Standard AC not cooling down house

[@Bob.W.]

Replaced my Am Std condenser at 32 years. Still running then but serious power draw. It would dim the whole neighborhood when it started. Lol.

[@tyhuffman5447]

One of the many things I like about your work is that you are a fixer, not a seller. This is a huge difference between the residential and commercial service markets. Usually in residential it appears that the money is made in sales where as in commercial cash appears to be made from service mainly because in commercial they buy their own stuff so the service guy can't sell them a new unit.

[@mattmccoy2410]

Truth

[@EP1CNELSON]

or it might be because rtu are double to triple what a residential unit costs.

[@nedrobreak5594]

Thank you steave i get alot of experience from your videos Big respect from Algeria

[@jo6520]

Great videos your always prepared, you always have the right size capacitor

[@LeftsnRights88]

I like that you did some housekeeping and got the cobwebs out. I do that too.

[@pacoraban1009]

Thanks great video.. question. What is the scanner you use to get the reading of temperature and more ? Thanks

[@emeryhvac1023]

What is that condensate vaccuum? Something you made up or did you buy that? Please let me know as I'd like to add one to my van.

[@cutum]

Ole Steve's got one in the truck, yall.

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

The supply house call Steve when they haven't got something, he will have in the truck.

[@kevinkevin9448]

Would love for u to continue after the job is finished in the truck and explain what you did like a summary ,,just a thought Steve

[@dalltex]

Called out for a no cool. Verified compressor and fan not working. Verified line voltage into contactor. Verified line voltage out of contactor. Pulled common off cap and checked mF. It was zero so replaced cap. Didn't know if hard start was still good so replaced. Checked charge and cleaned condensation drain. Your welcome :)

[@paulkarafillis8166]

Hey Steve. Love your videos. Thanks Steve. Paul, Melbourne, Australia

[@lequang2296]

Great clip Steven Been learning a lot from your work clips AC to Plumbing LIKE it & Subscribed

[@Dcc357]

Our 20 year old 4-ton York is still kickin' without leaks. A storm killed the compressor just over 10 years ago, and the compressor was swapped for a Copeland scroll. It's much quieter than the old one and probably increased its reliability overall.

[@gerardosegobia4050]

Great video.. thought first the contactor then bad motor overheating compressor, but it was capacitor, good that your being honest. Where did you get that drain. Adaptor for you vacuum??

[@Hubjeep]

7:21 Steven, what is you opinion of those hard start things??

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Capacitor Pregnant ^_^. Thank you for sharing ^_^

[@kylebass4635]

The OLLLLLL American standard yaul!!!!! I've got 2 a 2007 R22 and a 2014 410. The old R22 one is the best A/C I've ever had in a house.

[@jason-ge5nr]

I clicked.. eh must be a gas and go.. It was certainly not a gas and go. Weird that it was just dead. no sound from a bad cap. Thanks for the share

[@youngrasta612]

Why'd you replace the hard start kit if you don't know it's bad?

[@JPTinioMedia]

It's good practice for something small like that. Would you change your brakes and not flush/bleed fluid because you didn't know if its still good?

[@glennfranklin4523]

just curious, why dont you take a battery powered vacuum to clean up all those cobwebs make the job alot nicer

[@kevinkevin9448]

Nice job Steve

[@garyoconnordbaairrepair7775]

Hello Steve. How is the Corona Rona Bat Flu in your area?

[@westwood3286]

It's a Hoax there too

[@mrpanos923]

Can you still get r-22? Or do you have a little stock pile?

[@Dcc357]

There's a new gas called Bluon, or R-458a. It's meant to be a direct R22 replacement that can be used in an R22 unit. I have not done much research, though.

[@TheJmich2001]

very through, as usual...fine work sir!

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

[@adamcraig7259]

Let me guess before i watch....low charge/bad cap

[@adamcraig7259]

@@CT-vm4gf i wish he would run into something more complex. I can't learn if everything is a cap or charging issues lol. At the end of the day I know he runs into what he runs into

hhh i like that when you start the motor hhh and I like that you have brushes to do the cleaning

[@robvisola8890]

Lady “says” if there’s anything I could do upstairs like turn thermostat on let me know. Steve says “it’s calling now cause I can see it” 😆 Like lady is gonna understand this tech lingo. I’ve accidentally used this lingo on customers. EZ to forget they are not techs that’s why they called us. Proper response would be, thermostat is working because it’s giving me a signal here.

[@scottk0623]

Rob Visola I was thinking the same thing. She is wondering how he can see the stat lol

[@stevenlavimoniere]

contactor was pulled it =calling for cooling

[@robvisola8890]

steven lavimoniere, I know! ( you’re my favorite Steve ) but she doesn’t know what call for cool is 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@scottk0623]

Rob Visola she was waiting for the phone to ring when the stat called lol

[@bryanviper]

She wanted to turn something else on upstairs but steve was to busy fixing the AC ;)

[@normanfields6371]

Without using a meter if the capacitor goes bad as everybody knows the top usually does expand and it is very noticeable also the bottom of the capacitor usually will do the same so if you remove the capacitor and laid on the flat surface and a vertical position the capacitor should rock that is also an indication of internal damageBut it is good to verify with them either just to keep in practice

[@speckulator7516]

If it’s puffed It’s bad but I see bad ones that aren’t puffed.

[@lexmarks567]

I need one of those sucker devices

[@gabrielvillanuevaiii3926]

The olde American Standard!

[@user-marco-S]

Of course, they always brake down just after the warranty ended.

[@MedinaCliff]

Steve, get a power tool for those screws.

[@lebaroncars]

Why did you not try a start without the hard start capacitor ? and see

[@zesty2023]

if it had one already on it it obviously needed it.
