Carrier Gas Furnace failed simple repair

[@arlynsmith9196]

Video length was fine. I enjoy learning while watching you work, and I do not watch for "giveaways" I watch for enjoyment and interest. Thank you for taking the time to make these!

Always nice to see our soft spoken Southern gentleman doing his thing; solving those unique HVAC mysteries. 😎

[@lisaleeper9399]

Great video! Keep em coming. Even if it’s a simple fix it was very interesting. Would like to see more videos.

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

Have a warm evening!!! Thank you for your talented knowledge of the trade. Great video no matter how short or long, Always the Best.

[@MrJujubean]

No need for apology for long video. I thank you for sharing your repairs. I'm a retired hvac of many years and enjoy watching your repair videos. Great content

[@DennisBuckley-yd6cl]

Enjoyed watching as always Ted!

[@jenko701]

Your customers always have the most beautiful homes .

[@daddygc5814]

I agree,and also beautiful landscaping at those homes

[@rocker8692]

I finally made it to beautiful Greenville,SC,and I do like it,lots of hills.

[@emoneyblue]

We enjoyed every moment of the video thank you for sharing with us

[@mtgwdefender]

I personally try to always back probe the terminals while they are connected to the valve or any other component. I have come across some situations when I get good voltage with the wires desconnected, but you lose it and don't get amperage when they are connected back to the valve

[@Garth2011]

No worries on the length of the video, sometimes its worth keeping the reality of a service call documented to show some of the obstacles a tech has to deal with vs. simply film the R&R matter. It really is deceiving with some videos that are only 5 minutes but the tech was on site for 2 or 3 hours getting set up or preparing for servicing some jobs. I recall one channel where the tech had to do some gardener work just to get access to a line set and condenser at the fence line which included the neighbors bushes as well. Crazy it is sometimes. Nice blue flame...easy peasy.

[@JakePorterHVAC]

Thanks for the video, Ted. Stay safe out there.

[@Eddy63]

Nice job Ted ... Thx

[@jordanclay5688]

Thank you for the videos and knowledge. I’m gonna invest in some pipe wrenches

[@scottmaz4063]

Job well done Ted

[@gambitmac]

Have been missing your content.

[@seadeas]

Another good video, Thanks

[@philippusviridi6527]

I wonder what year this furnace was built it looks similar to mine. Mine was installed in 2004 8000TS two stage model. Since then had to replace the inducer motor and igniter super quiet furnace.

[@stevencossaboon3237]

Nice job Ted.

[@izzymoney85]

Yeah buddy 👍and Yes it's ridiculous indeed nice 2nd 🔥 degree battle scar 😎

[@watermanone7567]

NIce work, do the Carrier valves come preset to the proper pressures or do they need to be checked on the job? The engineer who designed that valve needs to get another job at a fast food restaurant or something. Thanks for another great video.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Yes! Replacing a gas valve? 1200 dollars or warranty? Labor and?

[@gutterratjp]

Hello from Texas. Not sure when we’ll use our heat at this point lol.

[@comfortman87]

Will your wire strippers and nut driver not fit in your meter case? If so, seems like it would make life easier... IMO

[@checkpoint3441]

[@sknight0391]

Flame On!!! 😎👍

[@mmengyan]

Ted, no problem with the length. Do you usually " soap test " the black gas line?

[@danobrien3109]

No need to apologize for the length of the video Theodore. That goofy gas valve was only one in a number of things Carrier did over the years. Lennox was the same way with their stuff too. Think it was their way of being unique, Trane does the same with equipment. That attic access is sweet, don’t come across that too often. Thanks for sharing , be well and stay safe.👍👍🇨🇦

[@renj6531]

Those regulators at the equipment must be a carolina thing Ive lived in Georgia Texas Arizona and California and never seen those, they just have 1 regulator outside at the meter

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

And check pressure at the gas valve...

[@mrgreen9086]

In a pinch I smack the valve when it's putting out 24 volts just to get the customer going until I replace it.

[@jimcarpenter2623]

So the 410a units are goong away? Great video!

[@zekenzy6486]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, May I ask, What is purpose of using drip leg on gas pipe ?

[@timgranata3016]

Collects condensation, and also I think I've seen then full of like dust and crud that I guess very slowly builds up

[@mattb1967mb]

Traps any sediment in the gas line. Prevents it from getting in the gas valve.

[@daddygc5814]

So that any debris in the pipe drops in the drip leg ,before it can get in the gas valve

[@danwittels5542]

I blame the Trane thermostat for all the problems! 😉😄 Good job Ted!

[@jasonfish4065]

I have a question? if you don't mind..... why would a standard gas thru valve not work is it a matter of the board not recognizing it or something proprietary thank you ...

[@errolsherman7353]

Do you put a manometer on the new valve to check gas pressure

[@bills6946]

You must check gas pressure when replacing a valve. They are never set to furnace manufactures spec. Usually too high. Will either overheat the furnace causing nuisance lock out or shorten the life of the heat exchanger.

[@ThatKoukiZ31]

Ah yeah flex the crap out of the burner box. 2020-2024 carriers with that style box have misaligned burners so often because of exactly that. Also bad manufacturing tolerance. Especially 2021 and 2022's, I saw one the other day that had 350 or 450 ppm CO in the exhaust. I torqued it back and got it sub 300, then put a spacer under one screw to get it sub 250ppm while we ordered him some new parts. Well got it warrantied. Its usually the left most burner but some times all or the right side. Easy to see the real bad ones.

[@thereve]

That looks like an epic game of The Floor is Lava

[@bills6946]

Did you omit the leak test and manometer valve calibration or not preform them?

[@TedCookHVAC]

I try to keep these videos shorter to get better views. And not do the same redundant content on everyone if possible. Mainly just trying to show the common failures and repairs we see every day.

[@bills6946]

@ Thanks for the response, Ted. I hoped you weren’t taking short cuts. From a fellow South Carolinian and subscriber.

[@jhatfield2755]

Id check gas pressure before id codemn it but good video

[@cliffyb5896]

I don't know what you did to your hand but that looks like it hurt. Take care of yourself, thanks for the video

[@richc3437]

Did you burn your hand recently? I have watched most of your videos and I feel like I would have noticed it before. I hope it heals fast; burns are nasty.

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

Was there a reason for the foil tape on your shirt or was it just a fashion statement?

[@daddygc5814]

All carhartt clothing or workwear has that patch

[@daddygc5814]

Oh,wrong patch ,I see it now

[@daveoswald5375]

I was thinking the same thing. It must be a new style trend. Haute Couture meets HVAC= HVAC Couture...lol..

[@Babybrick8365]

Hey I have a furnace just like that but my pilot light went out and I'm not sure how to safely light it again. Can you please help

[@darrinswanson]

Dude! How the heck did you burn your hand so badly?!

[@daddygc5814]

I dont know why none of you hvac guys dont carry a rag with you on jobs ,i did and used it all the time

[@nomusicrc]

We don't mind the long videos. Size doesn't matter lol

Why do u have aluminum tap on ur t shirt ?????

[@realSamAndrew]

I did a double take on the title. At first it sounded like the simple repair "failed". As in the repair didn't work 😋

[@kevinlawson8124]

Carrier parts are too expensive!

[@CarreraTrackOntheFloor]

That looks like a newer furnace.

[@northwoodsguy1538]

All about money 💰?

[@MichaelDirk]

This video makes little sense to me. You go into the attic and see the flame, which is very red/yellow. I would submit that might have been a clue as to what was wrong since I believe the flame should be more blue. A different color would make me think the incorrect amount of gas is flowing through or being used by the gas valve. You then say you're looking for 24 volts and you get 25 volts. What's the problem? You got the correct voltage you were looking for but then immediately say it's a bad gas valve. I don't understand. Then, you put in a new gas valve, which, by the way, presents with a blue flame, as I believe it should. Why didn't you use a manometer to check the gas flow pressure(s) of the original gas valve? If it were out of setting, you could have just adjusted the gas flow, no? And, shouldn't you have checked the gas pressure after installing a brand new gas valve to ensure it was set properly at the factory, for that location, and for that specific furnace/system you installed it in? I'm no HVAC guy (homeowner only), but this video confuses me a bit. Also, I've never heard a clicking sound from my gas valve when I call for heat and I didn't hear any clicking on the newly installed gas valve ... although, I'm not sitting right there next to you. I'm sorry, but I kinda feel like you installed a part that might not have been necessary and you didn't ensure the gas settings were in safe tolerances. A red/yellow flame indicates too little oxygen. A well-oxygenated flame is blue. It started off red/yellow and finished very blue. Oh, boy! I'm sorry, but this comment is going to get a little worse. When you looked at the error code of 34, you kinda blew-off the written explanation of what the problem actually was right there in front of you (5:14). It basically told you to check the gas pressure in the valve. I think you would have easily seen that it was off and could have simply adjusted it. A manometer would have shown you the nominal setting was probably off by more than 1.0. That's a guess of course, but I assume it was turning off 'cause it was out of limits.

[@TedCookHVAC]

Well, you’re correct about the fact that this comment is going to get worse. Because you were 100% wrong about everything you looked at. The orange glow you saw in the site glass was nothing but the hot surface igniter. There was never any flame and the old gas valve never did release any gas at all. I’m a 35 year veteran and I can certainly make mistakes but not quite one as bad as you described here. And one more thing, I certainly did set the pressures as I would on any new valve, but that would just be a redundancy in the video and I try to keep these videos shorter to get better views so maybe you should not assume anything. I looked back through the video myself after reading your comment to see if I got a glimpse of the manometer case that I carry, and I don’t see it anywhere on film. I’m afraid if I did have a shot of it it was on the cutting room floor and I can’t prove it to you. But nonetheless, you can believe what you want, but there was never any orange flame that was only the igniter.

[@alberthodge631]

the problem is the trane thermo on a carrier 🤭🤭

[@OPDrags]

I absolutely hate those trane stats

[@filthyphil8208]

Carry a permanent marker for marking junk/warranty parts and a rag. Wiping the pipe dope off on the insulation is a douche move.

[@susandavis5833]

Simple repair? Seems like you had to take the world apart to get to the bad guy. I guess it could be a lot worse.

[@hrdworkin7633]

Ted, don't be critical of Carrier proprietary equipment design. I have the same issues with Trane.

[@gerardomireles122]

No helicopter 🚁

[@philmccracken2012]

So you sold them this furnace a while back and now you're there working on it. The part that needs to be replaced you have to order only from the manufacturer? If that's correct maybe we shouldn't be using this style furnace.

[@TedCookHVAC]

I did not sell it to them.

[@eric_seguin]

I just watched your video on how to do it yourself clean your outside coils. Now I'm going to tell your people what I know as a property manager. The new younger a/c techs are lazy and crooked. I watched a guy clean coils without cleaner and through the fan. When I called his boss on him he was fired immediately. If a young fat tech comes out to do your service watch him. And watch this man. He is no BS. If the job is not done right you are throwing your money away and ruining your unit. Have a licensed HVAC man do your service and watch them like a hawk.

[@_n8787]

Dependes on who you hire, a lot of property managers are cheap asses that hire a guy that charges 60 for a PM. Hire a company that gives you a list of what has been checked. Most of the cheap companies want to be in and out as soon as possible or use a low cost PM to get in the door and upsell you. I’ve gone behind cheap techs that have blatantly missed or not even looked at blower motor compartments FULL of mold. They just sprayed the outdoor coil and left.
