Lennox no heat call

[@TheStrawhatboy-s7e]

That's awesome how you pay attention to details and find huge problems with a visual inspection God bless you brother 😊😊😊

Somewhere Chris is cringing on those upside down contactor covers.....

[@josephmettes9147]

I love me some footage of a screw coming out 😂 Thanks for the video Bill! I am liking the always things lists, keeping the customers and your time and money better spent on some preventive replacement items rather than waiting for those sma things to fail and possibly cause some major headaches down the road.

I used to think my kids were rotting their brains because they would watch other people play video games on yt. Now, here I am watching other people fix hvac units. Stay safe out there.

[@hectormartinez4346]

That orange flame looked bad . Maybe something wrong with gas pressure?

[@sivalley]

Because of poor shielding from wind the gas/air mixing becomes poor and you end up with a lean and yellow flame.that is one gripe I have with older Lennox units, the burner box is so close to the door that the slightest breeze can wreck burner characteristics.

[@throttlebottle5906]

also lots of dust and dirt in there, the wind would stir that and that is instant dirty yellow flame. same thing occurs without wind and just foot traffic and removing/opening the cover stirring dust.

[@michaelbuckley3808]

That's why it was your first call. You found it during PM. PM is important!

[@lwilton]

I'm betting that the proximate cause for that sparker failure was the bolts left out of the burner assembly. It let the edge of the venturi tube drop down just far enough that the distance to the sparker wire was about the same as the sparker gap.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Good observation

[@throttlebottle5906]

but I seriously doubt the spark would cause the wire to catch fire, that 100% looked burnt from heat/flame. likely the door was blowing around open in the past, causing flame rollout and directly cooked it or a previous burner/orifice issue did the same.

[@CHOMAHOMA]

Cool video. I see that the flame 🔥 is pretty yellowish.

[@benkeysor7576]

Must be nice being able to get an exact pressure switch. When I replaced the one on my furnace last year I had to get a universal one, which was a pain in the ass to put together and get working. The guy at CARR Supply was only interested in selling me the universal even though I had the old one with me.

[@MLG_15]

With the universal pressure switch match the iwc to the spring and you should be golden. The first time I came across one it was a learning curve.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

was the original obsolete ?

[@MLG_15]

@@curioushvacguy6876 The parts house said they don't carry OEM is all they had was universal. I would agree OEM is best if available.

[@Farm_fab]

I spent nearly 10 years doing mechanical demo. The next job I got after that was with a maintenance contractor. The closest I got to doing demo is pressure washing AC coil units. The plus side is that I've seen so many junk units, that it helps me know areas that are vulnerable. Keep up the good work!

[@donnellbaxter8050]

Where did you get that extension

[@cthomaspac]

On those L series units. Use to have only half of the burner rack ignite. You had to clean the orifices , change the igniter , and cable. And clean or replace flame sensing rod. Then you were good to go.

[@Eddy63]

Good little vid Bill ...

[@stinkyjeff]

Just a couple of questions... if you go through the trouble of ordering and replacing these aging parts, why not replace the old corroded terminals as well? Also, why not pull the burners and give them a cleaning while youre already in there? By no means am i being disrespectful, i love your content. Im just curious. Thanks

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Hey Jeff- you make a very good point, the terminals I feel I could look at them and determine if they where corroded and should be replaced or not- I just made sure they had a nice tight connection but the burners It wouldnt have hurt to pull and clean those while I was in there, mental note for next time. I appreciate the feedback

[@sjefoekel6058]

Dont know anything about gas heat, but is that yellow/orange flame normal?

[@jmcisaac1]

I have the same LGA unit, and the flame on mine did the same thing after the combustion air fan was replaced. That fan is rather new also. Can't be the same rpm.

[@sjefoekel6058]

@@jmcisaac1 you would think that it should be clear blue flame, but i am no expert.

[@jmcisaac1]

@@sjefoekel6058 Yes it should be. Mine was until the inducer was replaced. Even the velocity of the discharge air coming out of vent is lower.

nice observation

[@bassman34516]

Just like tuning up a car, you don’t want to just change your spark plugs, you want to change your distributor cap, rotor, plug wires etc. Even these days with coil on plug ignition and individual coils per cylinder it pays to replace them with the plugs usually they’re only 30 to 40 bucks per cylinder.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Exactly

[@timr4362]

You turn the handles all the correct way but that unit stage 2 comp contactor you left the contactor cover upside down that drives me nuts

[@ericpaul4575]

If he would have put it on the correct way then the install date would have been upside down.

[@Dan-ger82]

Lucky you work where they don't fire you. I work at Walmart distribution and if you break a foot you can't come in to work and if you lucky to get time off approved through their lawyer/medical joke office then you might keep your job. They won't even accept a doctor's note to miss work. I can't wait to find a better company to work for because this one is ok as long as you never get injured.

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

Good work there, nice wholesome repair. Those compressor contactors look to me to have been changed, their faces are upside down.

[@curioushvacguy6876]

Id have to agree as well

[@Robyrich2377]

Yes replace all starting components including the pressure switch just like if you’re going to change a motor you also change the All of the starting components

I agree with your logic, however, your flame sensor was not rusty, or corroded. I’d even argue that it had been changed within the year. That said, don’t buy parts that aren’t needed…..
