Carrier XCB183D 1.5 Ton Wall Air Conditioner from 1995 | Initial Checkout

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Nice initial checkout video of this air conditioner love the start-up sound can't wait to see the installation of this unit soon bro

[@JordanU]

The startup sounds on these motors is quite nice.

[@andrewg593]

Those Daewoo compressors are in my opinion some of the best rotaries. They sound good and they last a long time.

[@JordanU]

I would put a Japanese made one from Toshiba, Matsushita, or Sanyo above these, but they're definitely close behind.

Nice checkout of this 18,000 BTU carrier air conditioner Jordan. Looks in fantastic shape. Shame you don't have that 220 circuit installed yet in the kitchen. It would be great to have this unit installed in there at some point would also be cool to have a Carrier air conditioner set up for the house. Very nice find and hopefully at some point, you can get your hands on that other Carrier unit that may be available here soon. These units are certainly built to last many years and it's worth every cent to keep these units running for decades to come. Hope to see this installed soon bro.

Thanks

Thats a sweet ac you got Jordan. I believe in the drains holes... They should brinmg them back...

[@JordanU]

Thanks

[@ItsTheCostanza]

I drive a car from this era, and the air conditioning is very COLD 🥶

[@JordanU]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@LemontTheFanMan]

good ac video bro can't wait to see you install it soon i enjoyed the video

[@JordanU]

Glad you enjoyed it bro.

Hey can you give me some tips on my 2000s feeders 5000 btu unit. It dosnt like to start the fan we have put oil in it but we have to spin it by hand for the fan to start up. We had 2 of those units with the same problem do you think you know what’s wrong

[@Ahmad-Nader]

looks like a bad cap to me!

[@ESDI80]

I would put that unit in your kitchen or living room, which ever room is more central in the house, and it would probably cool the entire house. Especially if you close off the door going to your sun room.

[@JordanU]

It would be interesting to see how this handles in the living room. This is rated for about 10K less than the International Series I have in there now. The International blows much colder, but this seems to push more air. I wonder if it would be a wash. The original portion of the house (kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms) can be satisfactorily cooled with a 10K machine. This would be total overkill for the kitchen, but I do like to make it real cool while cooking.

[@logansmokes.2762]

i have one similar to this a XHD183C it is 230/208v with 18k ac and 17.5btu heat im my vacation place in the socal desert from 2001 works like a beast 700$ to replace it and the new ones w/R600 are JUNK heat does not blow near hot or even warm maybe bad capacitor but its so big i dont know how to take it out of the wall.

[@JordanU]

I agree, the newer air conditioners are junk.

[@WalterKnox]

I really don't think the water in the pan and the slinger wheel make too much of a difference like people claim (in fact I have proven it to not really make that much of a difference before,) But if it somehow does, they should make a drain plug that opens when the unit is off and closes when it is on. All it would take is a "mushroom" shaped rubber plug in some sort of a housing with a spring, and it either would be actuated in some way by a pressure switch of some sort for the refrigerant line, or a temperature sensor in the condenser coil. That way when it is running, water builds up and when it is off, the water runs out.

[@JordanU]

When I have some extra money, perhaps at the end of the year when the ACs go on sale, I'm going to buy 2 identical models. I will add service ports to both. One will get a drain hole, one will be untouched. I will set them up in different conditions and compare pressures, temperature, and power draw. Then they will both be set up to run the same number of hours side by side, and we'll see what type of rust and dirt accumulates. Hopefully then, with powerful, documented evidence, we can put the drain hole debacle to rest. I'd think it would not be hard at all to design some type of air flow operated valve to drain out the water after operation.

[@WalterKnox]

@@JordanU I did a (short term, like 2 hour) test a while back measuring the current draw of two identical 5k BTU WCI Frigidaire units from the 90s. One with and one without a drain hole. It was slightly lower at first (I filled the pan manually to start,) but it evened out to be within what could be considered a margin of error. Seeing a long term side by side on two new units will be neat to see.

[@psychedelicnarwhal9599]

Meter wise, it seems like there arent really any to speak of, and for those that do exist, they dont use the north American plug. Would be nice if the makers of the kill a watt meter would make a 20/30 amp version.

[@JordanU]

That stinks. I suppose there probably isn't enough of a market for such a device to make it work creating.

[@jtfish6008]

I have that exact unit it just died after 22 years 😢

[@JordanU]

It's probably a simple fix.

[@KevinKinder-ey9gv]

Where are you located I have a twenty four thousand btu Wall unit in good shape you can have

[@NickSpires09]

Great video cool air conditioner

[@JordanU]

Thanks

[@djbrucebanner9882]

I like it

[@JordanU]

OK

[@musicnerd72]

I said the same thing with the Mebsa motor! Like wtf??? 🤣 Also, did you notice the compressor had Daewoo below the Carrier name?

[@JordanU]

Yes, Daewoo was the motor Carrier used in these compressors.

[@williamchupin6752]

Nice air conditioner love it 🙌, I’d recommend making the videos much shorter tho!

[@JordanU]

If you prefer short videos, this is not the channel for you.

You can always skip past the parts that aren’t of interest.
