[@tiaandbuster]

hey dave , we all miss things now and then , but we eventually figure them out . at least you're not afraid to show us that you're human . great honest video , very interesting ..... as an oil burner technician , i know absolutely nothing about the refrigeration or gas industry , but i'm starting to understand a lot about it now ....... thanks to you and your great videos keep 'em coming ...... thanks

condemned a inducer motor on that sane style unit up here last week, it had what looked to be a large cocoon or some type of insect nest in it.the blade was froze, just gave it a lil push and a whole bunch of poo shot out.motor ran but I wrote it up for replacement.Thanks again for another great video, love these in depth trouble shooters.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Max& Me you can get the hole assembly for those. Makes for easy change out.

[@TheTraveler66]

yeah I have been told, my mentor went back the next day and changed it out,I got stuck with Ice Machine duty.

[@JimmyPadgett21]

Dont feel bad... gets us all sometimes! no matter how good you are! Keep rockin

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Jimmy Padgett yep 👍

[@justinrogers4465]

The engineers at Bryant- " hey guys, how can we really screw with the service guys? I know, put two different screws to hold on the same bracket!!"

[@philltafolla]

Very nice Dave I probably get 5 no heating calls in a whole year , hope this helps my knuckle head , and maybe I can learn something , thanks for sharing!

[@zack9912000]

Felipe Tafolla come up north and you will get that in a day

[@philltafolla]

zack9912000 maybe I should so I can learn something

[@fredmeebley]

Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your videos and sense of humor.

[@dennis-sj6im]

process of operation and process of elimination ... that dl429 looks solid I'm gonna have to scoop one ... nice work

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

dennis postek best HVAC meter for the $

[@capitolrefrigerationheatin7501]

That was a tricky one, I never seen that issue. I would of replaced the flame sensor and then maybe the board. Normally if the gas valve can be adjusted,its working. Thank you for posting this, this will probably save me this winter. Awesome job!!!

[@chriscooley906]

Great video Dave, Probably should have used your manometer, your the best thanks for sharing your experiences, they always prove helpful

[@phillipgroom9187]

Not sure I would have figured that one out. Good job! Thanks for the video

[@tomcat27557]

with all that rust in the heat ex-changer you may have a crack in that burner tube. check by just turning on the blower fan and taking a long bic lighter and running it up in the tube about 2 inches and watch the flame to see if it gets to dancing or is blown out. if so you got a cracked tube.

We all get stumped part of living the dream

T&N Services LLC. Yes sir. The HVAC/R weekly stumper.

[@mikestevenson1819]

Great job! Thanks for another video

[@TimothyNaugher]

Yo this video is awesome. I think it just goes to show the routine that us techs get into. We already assume we know what the problem is before we even get to the call. And this goes to show you you can't get stuck in that mindset. Awesome video.

[@JuanTodoli]

BIG TRUTH Timothy: "And this goes to show you you can't get stuck in that mindset"

[@supermoto3453]

I work on these everyday up in Canada, no matter how much you clean you will be back for a call back unless you change the board, sensor and ignitor every time.

[@youngrikhvac9919]

so on a 2 stage heat gv if you read 1.7 wc on first stage, should second stage automatically double to 3.5wc?? hope my question makes sense thanks

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

squirtle hvac second stage should be 3.2-3.5" wc on that unit.

[@youngrikhvac9919]

so if you regulated 2nd stage to 3.5 since it was 3.0 in the video will first stage have gone up automatically?

[@youngrikhvac9919]

how exactly did you know gas valve was at fault? if that makes it easier haha. I'm barley second year apprentice

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

squirtle hvac no 1 stage has its own adjustment

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

squirtle hvac you can see on the manometer the delay. The gas valve is slow to open. And fluctuated.

[@joeshearer1247]

Looked like your meter was a little slow to respond there

[@joeshearer1247]

You had a gas valve on your truck for that thing?

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Joe Shearer I just sucked and blew my meter it cycles just fine. No lag. The valve came off there other unit which is the same unit for the back kitchen they never use the heat on that unit.

[@HVACinSC]

Great video! Way to stick with it.

[@IslandbreezeMechanical]

Good video. Have tons of thiose units here under the Carrier name

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

R. J. Dippold HomeWorks INC I like them.

[@harrydickson4575]

Next level !! Dave

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Harry Dickson next level reality check lol.

[@Wisdomoftheair]

Even with the low-fire pressures looking normal, the flame was not enough to rectify? Thanks for the video!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Chris waessil when looking at the meter there was a delay in " wc. On fire.

[@eagletek1]

great job learned something

[@seanmc133able]

No I worries you got this!

[@meerscan9101]

you da man, nor-cal refrig, AC and heating, do a video dissecting the gas valve and see if screen is plugged with crap/particles

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

refrigeration tech hmm I could.

[@joemartinez6806]

awesome video. greatest tech show we are human . dangerous techs hide .

[@dennisnoone7427]

good catch

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Dennis Noone oh I got schooled before I figured it out. Lol

[@garysmith9772]

If you run across that again take a run a ground wire from the burner to the control panel ground usually solves the problem

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

gary smith i have done that in the past. That was not the issue this time, thanks for watching.

[@bowen1969]

great video thanks

[@elcrazy8017]

Good troubleshooting.

[@jrregan]

Aaaahhh. Just keep it under $500. If it goes over $500, give me a yell. It has to go in a different column on the spread sheet. Thanks.

[@Hearthman1159]

Microamperes DC

[@Eddy63]

If you figured it out , then I would say you kicked it's arse ...lol

[@treverkirk8110]

hey fyi you have years more experience than me but Ive always been told not to use sandcloth on flame rods, due to it leaving an insulating residue on the rod. and its microamps haha, dont mean to be picky, Im sure thats what you meant!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Trever Kirk if you watch my videos my vocabulary is terrible and all over the place. Lol

[@Refertech404]

Hey Dave,do you need a helper I'm sure I can learn a lot from u

[@OcRefrig]

Good vid. nice thinking on the scavenge job. i don't do much heat down here if any. Commercial Restaurants around here NEVER need heat ever ! With 10 Refrigerators Average running per restaurant , Toasters and Ovens Going u know how it goes. Heat everywhere.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. This was for the dining area.

[@OcRefrig]

yea, ok, i could see that. too bad they cant discharge some of that kitchen heat into the dining room. any ideas anyone ? Put a water coil in the kitchen and one in the air handler for the dining area, then Pump water through it. instant heat removal from kitchen to dining area. cooling kitchen too. heating dining area. Free Heat !
