[@DavidSimmerman-s8d]

Just curious...would a hard start not have solved their problem with high amp draw on start up???

[@sidewayz24]

Thank you for this. How do I bypass the Coresense on a armana for a ICM870-16A. I asked the company and they never got back to me. Is it as simple as unplugging it?

[@Agent22817]

By watching your channel for a long time and learning I just got my 608 type II cert

That's awesome. Why not “universal”

@@PipeDoctor I may do the universal one next. Found a way to do it free and I'm just a homeowner lol

...They're getting a Bosch! Love it! Great content Mikey. I too have one of those ICM Soft start kits on my unit. Seems to work great. I'm surprised all central air systems don't have them built in, or at least as an option or upgrade. Like, why wouldn't Bosch or Carrier include them with a new system. It's a small ad on considering the price of a new system and it only helps save money and increase the life of the equipment. To me, that's a no brainer!

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks 👍

[@jimreilly917]

Increase equipment life. Consider that. Units built in the 70s are still around..not many but they are. Some 80s as well. Modern units? From boards to wiring are designed for cheap manufacturing and to run maybe 15 years. IF well maintained. Which you and both know doesn’t happen. They want to sell more units.

[@markcotter2355]

it let the smoke out of that start capacitor. nice job on the sell

[@Steve-bm2zm]

I wish I could get a Bosch when the time comes here in Dayton Ohio but there’s really no place that installs them. According to Bosch there’s one but their website shows Carrier 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@PipeDoctor]

Call them

[@Steve-bm2zm]

@@PipeDoctor call Bosch or the HVAC installer?

[@jward860]

Sometimes you got small guys who install them and just don't bother getting listed on bosch or anywhere else. The trick is finding them.

Never discharged a capacitor lol

Ouch

[@robertwojtowicz933]

i’m not sure about the ICM crap.I installed one on my Goodman unit after about a week my capacitor went out, it was original to the unit It could be coincident. Nowhere in the instruction there was a memo about the four minute delay. I bought this unit at my local supplier last summer. The reason I installed it is in case I need to use my generator to free up the amp load. I unhooked all the wires for now and let it hang inside the condensing unit. If you figure out every time the unit comes on your fan and your furnace is running four minutes wasting electricity. i’m not a big fan of the product… 35 seconds to a minute delay would be sufficient enough. I might take it off and sell it to one of my customers 😂

Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments/reply??. I guess some of your customers, family and friends still checking in on you. About the dhammapada-theravada buddhism full audio book with text and music. Again you hear Jesus Christ speaking there too, but with a little more love and forgiveness. Jesus Christ too was a buddha, the lightened one. Again I will make you the synagogue of Satan. Thanks for another shout out or shoot out,lol welcome back to america. Love you buddy, God bless you my brother in Christ.

Hey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. Hmm? bad compressor maybe check valve leaking and flooding the compressor with hot liquid and oil which will cause compressor to go into a deep cycle. Maybe bad piston or txv flooding compressor too. Suction line should have a accumulator or in line trap. Also a bad circuit breaker in service panel feeding outdoor unit or lose connection. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

[@PipeDoctor]

Maybe. And you thought I wasn’t gonna read and comment to your comment.

[@everettstevenson2111]

@@PipeDoctor no just killing time again. A fully charged system will draw about 11 to 13 amperes and the electrical system is design for 125% of equipment. Again 15 amperes is more than 125% and more than the 85% of the circuit breaker which is a slow overload. You are dealing with 30 amperes, 10,000 amperes which is the AIC rating. Again you would burn up too. Come on Mikey, this is Top Gum School, lol, Love you buddy.

[@everettstevenson2111]

you are not dealing with 30 amperes, but 10,000 amperes
