Diagnosing a Locked Compressor 3D

[@jessechavez8254]

Love all your videos, You guys do amazing work but the 3D videos are my favorite. Thank you for the knowledge

[@michaelmaclachlan2152]

As a second year technician, it blows my mind that I've access to this incredible training material for free!

[@therealmcgoy4968]

It’s also a great refresher

[@Biggsy2008]

I'm a father of 4 at 33 yrs of age. Starting school January for HVAC. Tired of being broke with dead end jobs and need a career. I'm very nervous, but I will be using this channel for help. These videos help a ton! Very much appreciated!!

It's a great career to be in. Been doing it for 6 years now. Changed my life. You'll hit your 6 figures within the first 3 years. Just stay motivated and the possibilities are endless.

@@chrismunoz3739 Thank you very much!!

[@Biggsy2008]

@th-bk2qs I can't thank you enough for that. First semester went beautiful and in loving all of it so far. Start second semester next month and I can't wait. Thank you for you advice. It won't be taken for granted and it is very much appreciated

[@donnielane3459]

​@th-bk2qshow do you get a plumbing license without being an apprentice?

[@grashoprsmith]

wish I had these videos 12 years ago!

[@garza1367]

Im blown away with the detail, graphics and explanation. Wow!!!

[@julitolabor7086]

From the Philippines, 3D helps us a lot more and we save most of your videos.

[@markmcelmeel7850]

Always always always appreciate the amazing videos

[@JFirn86Q]

Very well done animations, nice.

[@garcestechservicesllc5275]

Presented professionally. Easy to figure out.

[@Joe_From_IT]

Absolutely top shelf video- well done, guys! I learned so many new details from this. The internal compressor views to illustrate the various mechanisms used is fantastic- making it easy to understand.

[@colinandpattyhowie2887]

Tremendous educational tool, thank you.

[@justchill4u173]

Nice. Thank you for this I just started as a hvac helper trainee and this video help a lot.

[@DaveSharkey-y9i]

As usual great content and explanations. I appreciate your commitment to improving the industry and especially training .when I came in the trade this kind of stuff wasn’t available.

[@marcosylvia5704]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Great as always

[@miguelrojas3394]

I really love this 3D videos for better understanding thanks brian.💯👌

[@maness2112]

Omg beautiful.

[@rafaelandreano]

Can you please 🙏 illustrate what happens internally when the system is contaminated.

[@nathanmanley5549]

You guys are awesome!!!

[@PuzzleVizion_TV]

Can you answer me? Isnt the forced start helping to damage or blow the compressor?

[@juancarlosbarrios8377]

Thank you for the video, help me a lot.👍😎

[@Chamindiu]

Thank you sir.

[@donaldmccuddy3611]

Awesome knowledge

[@rearwheelslider]

Amazing video.

[@abdulhvac2395]

Thank you very much good job

[@theadventuresofvm8711]

This is an awesome video, my only question is Brian how come you didn’t talk about in-rush amps before the hard start kit? is that a unimportant step that I’m taking that I don’t need to?

[@sheldon8115]

I still have my hammer. When they don’t want to start

Agreed. Always got the dead blow on standby

[@ricardodiego3374]

🎉nice very good information

[@lazman111]

So working in the trade for the last 40 years I can tell you that when I compressor locks up generally it’s on its way out. Yes, you can beat on them and use tricks with the capacitors to try to get it loose.But at the end of the day it only usually last for a short time.

[@PuzzleVizion_TV]

Muito obrigado

[@shahbazyaqub9124]

Nice method

[@hvactamiltech3985]

Can you please explain BLDC compressor how to work?

[@paulb4496]

Kickstart T05 reads pickup and dropout voltage off both windings and fits 0-5 ton SAFELY. RECOMMENDED BY BRISTOL AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS. NONE OF THE OTHERS ARE EXCEPT OEM KITS.

[@allimakk1797]

nice video

[@נאורמצליח]

Amzing🎉🎉🎉

[@philiph1234]

I had an old system that I knew was more or less on its way out, and the reciprocating compressor was failing. Just to see if I could really give it a hard kick in the pants and started it, I ended up using a 400 µF start capacitor. It worked, but the compressor sounded like it was full of ball, peeing hammers, and having a hard time. It was kind of fun though.

[@ziggybender9125]

Hey everyone I have a question. I worked HVAC a few years ago for 6 months on a small crew that basically teamed up all together for most jobs doing the full scope of work. Now I've got a new job in the industry on a small crew and it seems my job will mostly be doing preventative maintenance all day every day, do you guys think it's worth sticking it out on a crew just doing the same thing on repeat all day every day? Seems like a very slow way to learn to me.

[@james-faulkner]

You will learn to identify which parts wear out faster and when to replace them. I worked at a food manufacturing facility both in the engine room and on production which was wandering the floor and being there for catastrophic failures or adjustments the operators couldn't do. Doing PM's seems the worst and if you are used to excitement can be boring but if you still have a bunch of years to go it can be a learning experience as long as they let you. Also don't wear a watch!

[@Brokefootchuck]

If your plan is to be a technician or mechanic then it is definitely worth it. It's also important knowing how to do retrofit change outs and new construction installation for service techs and mechanics. If you don't know how to or are unwilling to do the dirty boring stuff then it'll be harder to advance your career/position. Besides, if you pay attention and can catch issues before they become expensive problems during a "regular maintenance", people remember the guy who saved the company money. Also, if you come across a component or process you dont understand during a maintenance, research it on your time off. Google, co-workers, bosses and channels like this one are a tremendous source of knowledge. Use them. And remember, RTFM. Read The F-ing Manual.😂Sorry for the long reply. Best of luck.

[@stuartdixon747]

If you are young and keen to learn, my advice is stick it out for a while. It takes time to come across all the many different problems you will undoubtedly encounter. To be exposed to them and learn from them is invaluable. Knowledge can be created but not often forgotten. Good luck.

[@ziggybender9125]

@@stuartdixon747 I decided to leave. The way they diagnosed was overly simple. Feel the air with hand for indoor and outdoor units, look for even condensation across coils, feel for beer can cold, listen for anything out of the ordinary. We were only really there to confirm the machines were running and clean the coils + drain pan tab. I found an office that hadn't gotten cool like the others after plenty of time running. My superior put it in test mode which got it to feel cold and he said "see it works" with no further testing. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that's a good approach to learning

[@DW-yg7xq]

Before adding a hard start kit, shouldn’t we check to see if the compressor is shorted to ground? Wouldn’t that mean a compressor is bad and a hard start wouldn’t do anything and just be a waste of the clients money?

[@mariocervantes8101]

Shorted to ground, you would hope the breaker for the condenser would trip.

[@lalog7382]

En compresor trifásico scroll se puede instalar un kit de arranque

[@Brokefootchuck]

Video it for us.

[@Guyhakverdi]

Why newer scroll compressors tend do seize up more? 30 years old piston compressors still going strong… 5 years old scroll cant even handle 1lb overcharge?

[@Ryan09208]

5:56 emf not efm

[@HVACS]

thank you for your comment and apologies for the mistake!

[@GriffVibrantle-yh3ye]

5:56 you said EMF not EFM like it says there bud

[@Factory400]

EMF - Electro Motive Force - Voltage. Just a typo, the voice was correct.

[@james-faulkner]

Why the bubble gum club music? Other than that, great!

[@borshardsd]

[@av7809]

Had this problem recently. Ohm check ok comp not grounded but was still humming and drawing 70amps. Mechanical failure locked rotor amps.
