call for AC tripping breaker

[@specialoperator8902]

Are you sure ya got “No Powah”. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@RG_sssSMOKING]

Damn, 40+ years doing electrical work and never seen a disconnect wired that way and I seen a bunch of bad wiring. Well done Steven

[@BronxGummer]

17:10 - I've seen Steve fix all kinds of leaks, except the leak from his nose. Steve !!!!!! I love you KID - just having some fun with you. You're the best and I love your videos. Thanks

One thing my teacher told us HVAC tech has to know everything, electric, plumbing, and ect.

[@themitchielpricer]

ive been in hvac high rise building mechanical maintence over 45 years now retired people have no idea what it takes & the education & skill set required its you have it or you dont notice how steven explains every thing he finds& asks questions right when he meets the customer ..thats what i was taught even though hes a little short tempered thats the real deal

About the evaporator coil, I'd measure the plenum to see if an outflow coil would work. They're less expensive and easier for one man install. Some of the horizontal coil are huge now.

[@whitesheatingairappliancer7101]

Steve it didn't look like they added a dip in the refrigerant line for oil return. Thanks for the video.

[@erikj.2066]

[@titolopez4270]

It would be great if you can put the video when you I stall this unit. Thanks Steve

[@rjboxingit3368]

My AC Breaker trips instantly when setting to cool. The outdoor unit is a Carrier 2020 model that was installed new last year. Anything ese I can try before having to call a tech? short on cash. 1. I tested the 3 compressor pins and they all show OL. 2. I disconnected the compressor to see if breaker would trip without it and breaker does not trip, Fan Spins also.(This makes me think there is not an issue with Breaker nor contactor and maybe it is an issue with the compressor or wiring.) 3. Outdoor unit is very clean, and I dont see any visual wiring issues.

[@holdway73]

You can tell them the only way it will be less than 1000 dollars is to put a couple of rats in the squirrel cage. Done.

[@blackknight5339]

Unbelievable it took two Red Sox fans hours to figure out the compressor went bad. The HVAC guy didn't even put his tester on the compressor R,S,C to get a reading if he would have done that he would have found out the windings were bad causing the breaker to trip.

[@hectorgalvan8674]

Half the problem is incompetent people.

[@PaulDziomba]

Leaking in a bucket for seven years and he wants it fixed today for under $1,000.00! Bill him for your time and make sure your replacement cost includes a PITA fee.

[@NytefogNJ]

i check run caps with a ESR Meter vs my fluke. it gives a more accurate Mfd reading as well the internal resistance using AC current vs DC from a multimeter.

[@darrencarey8024]

Why do the inside coil have to be replaced unless its not compatible and totally out dated or maybe cant get just the coil if its leaking refrigerant and as far as it leaking water im sure the plumbing can be checked and if everything is fine jus blow out the drain with nitrous or some type of air with a little pressure and check if it is in need of a cap or should it be without it and see if it runs into some type of stack if clogged call a plumber. As for the compressor to me it is clearly grounded from what i see unless something is truly wrong with the breaker and or remove the breaker it self to see the condition behind it other than that lol damn thats a lot of money replacing both units ! ! ! !

[@tomodell4092]

At some point the old ass systrm needs to be replaced. That point was reached when the compressor got tired.

[@ronniebuchanan6575]

You buy a new oitdoor condenser R410A is all they make anymore which runs double the pressure of R22 refrigerant they are very proun to splitting the Evaporator coil. If you replace the compressor R22 then the cost of the gas a clean out kit or new line set you are at the same price. Then a month later the condenser coil splits tgen you are the blame.

[@noblesks5769]

I’m just starting HVAC school and curious as to why it’s a whole unit/system replacement and not the compressor?

[@mike203920]

The cost of a replacement compressor would be almost as much as a new condensing unit. Also, the evaporator case is corroded and leaking. It just isn't worth it. I can understand wanting to save the customer some money, but you don't want to get carried away with that or you will get into trouble.

[@ronniebuchanan6575]

If you haven't figured the last part out R22 is unreal in cost. This is an old video but held true tgen.

[@mpflood]

Did you ever pull cover at comp. Pins?

[@TONYTHETlGER]

I believe he did when he went inside the condenser coil housing. Check everything, assume nothing!

[@ericfelger]

Mac Pelao I was gonna make the same comment. Steve's videos are great, but his accent cracks me up.

[@gregorysuarez7978]

Should check for acidic refrigerant at this point. The power to the disconnect should have been tested when returning from switching the breaker ON. Definitely before plugging the disconnect back in.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

Damn fine video for "Diagnostics", and maybe a few Catholics too!

[@blackknight5339]

That was a bad video on a diagnostic check.

just hang the power up to that unit you are fixing then check the voltage or put 220v Bulb if your getting a power to make sure.. so that the electrician can go and work..

[@esecuate]

I had the same issue today and I tried the same that you did also I thought that the compressor was bad but then I found out that the suction line was kinked up, that's why the compressor wasn't working.

[@jerryforeman4543]

[@junior_treyohfive]

[@Ron-oe7hg]

If you had open windings on the compressor then its automatically bad. Your being thorough, i understand but time is money my friend.

He was trying to save this cheapskate some money. In the end it would have been better just to replace the unit.

[@dannycalk8051]

Steve I have a question: My breaker to the ac keeps tripping, so I checked it and there was a mouse laying across the capacitor, so I replaced it ( fried mouse ) and the breaker still trips so what could be the problem. Is it possible that when the mouse shorted out the capacitor, it could have shorted out the compressor. Is the common and the herm terminals on different phases so when the mouse laid across them it caused a direct short between two phases.? . I haven't ohm ed out the compressor yet should I do that, or if it was a thermal protector inside the unit wouldn't it have reset by now, or would a direct short by the mouse cause it to not open? Help it's hot here in Texas.

I had a my air handler capacitor go ,so no air was running over evaporator coil. refrigerant line froze up and i could hear a ' hiss ' coming from line at connection to air handler.

Mine is from 1996 same with the furnace which is a Janitrol/Goodman GMP075-3 the A/C is the same model as that one CK25-1B my system is 20 years old roughly and works great just needs little things here and there most recent thing on the furnace was the blower fan changed it myself. Have a great one Jason C. - From Michigan and BTW the heat exchanger on the furnace was replaced 8 years ago because it was just starting to pop apart because of those crappy rivets that goodman used.

You boys sure getting people .

[@bradhvac5866]

You should never use the old line set Poe oil doesn't mix with mineral oil. There is no way your going to blow all the oil out with nitrogen. You would at least have to use a flush kit.

[@joshuapoche5137]

Brad Hvac thats what they said when they first started using poe oil but thats not accurate now. we were having a problem with swapping to 407c so we had a refrigerant rep come to our company to explain how we should be doing the swaps. he said their having problems with oil return with poe oil so we need to add 10% mineral oil to system to get the oil to return. just another thing these companies rushed to market thats screwing us now. we loose a lot of compressors now

[@gilianrampart8514]

Brad Hvac POE does mix with mineral oil.

[@Fireship1]

billybassman21 I've done the same countless times and never had an issue. Some of those units I've installed have been running for years now.

[@Fireship1]

Spector NS5 RD no reason to replace them if they don't leak. Even on a burnt out system you can flush them and then install a suction line filter for extra peace of mind. I've replaced a few that were kinked excessively or damaged in multiple spots. Otherwise they getting reused!
