About 3 years ago a technician told me my ac comp was shot. I took his word for it and let it be until we started getting record heat hear in Tacoma. I thought my Carrier unit is old but not much run time... Let's check some u tube vids and find out what might be broken. Guess what?? A $30 capacitor failed, looks like a frozen beer can bulging at the top. Well I want to thank all the AC techs that take the time to help us out. My house is cool and I can sleep tonight. Again thanks for the tutorials on trouble shooting.

I have the exact same Goodman unit at my house. When the AC went out I had enough experience from my father, who was trained in AC repair and passed on some basic repairs, the first thing I did was to look at the capacitor. Mine was very easy because the capacitor was bowed at the top. Went and picked up a new capacitor, installed it and everything is now working properly. Almost identical to your video except for all that grass around the AC unit. They need to clean that up.

I just replaced a capacitor on a 5 ton goodman yesterday. Ordered the cap from amazon for 20$. The compressor was not running because the half of the cap for the HERM or compressor side was not working but it showed charging on a multimeter. The hack AC guy wanted 110 service fee, 330 for the capacitor and add another 30 taxes. I averted a 470$ charge for 20 bucks. Only difference was the cap I replaced it with was round instead of oval and the tolerance was 6% on the new one instead of 3% on the old one. The Unit was 4 years old and the capacitor was a 45 microfarad on the HERM and 5 microfarad on the condensor fan. Good day.

Right on! Thank you so much for watching!

My fan and compressor are running but blowing warm air inside. Could it be low on freon? It gets to 70 degrees at night and 85 in the day.

[@LexVance]

Yes, that's the most common problem. Thank you so much for watching Fusion!

Need to replace the connectors for the capacitor, what gauge should i use or type

[@LexVance]

Flag terminals. I go back with the size that was there before.

@LexVance I have a question I replaced cooling condensers side . It uses tge r22 or older freon gas. Can I vacuum it out out and charged new refrigerant which you said is for higher heat removal? My is a 2 ton and my home is 2 story 4br 3br. 2200 square feet. This older unit what us normal amperage when running.

@LexVance my heat pump capacitor blew today spewing oily black liquid all over the inside of the heat pump and inside of the access panel. What's the odds a good cleaning, and replacement of the capacitor and relay will fix it? Or is the entire unit toast? Thanks.

[@LexVance]

Id try to replace cap and contactor relay before replacing whole system. I hope everything works out for you! 🤞🏻

I just checked my capacitors (2 units) yesterday and they were both all rusted except where the collar went around them. 21 years and counting. :)

Been having that problem now ! They will come out here tomorrow & look at it. This is a great video / info ! My unit is only 5 years old...so lets see what the problem is. With this crazy heatwave we having here in AL, i need it to run as it should....can't sleep without it, since my bedroom is on 2nd floor, right under the roof...gets crazy hot.

I hope everything works out for you Alexandra!

Cha cha slide next to a condenser is a troubleshooting technique I been using for a while. Thought I was the only one. 👍🏼

Suddenly, our 5 year old Goodman is not blowing cold... It just stopped this morning. I'm not hearing the compressor kick on and it's blowing cool air out of the top. Suction line usually has some condensation on it, but it's dry right now. I'm wondering if it could be the same issue?

[@LexVance]

Could be. It's the most common thing that goes wrong. And, it's the easiest fix. Thank you so much for watching Steve!

[@stevenunya2182]

@@LexVance , no problem sir! Thank you for making the video and giving me a possible answer. I just wish I had a tester to see for sure... I guess I will call a guy that was recommended by neighbors. I hear he's really fair and honest. I'll be curious to see if that's the first thing he checks

[@General-Coffee]

Thanks for the video, first had to clean the years worth of dusty build up from the house we bought, then replaced this bad boy and voila! Cool air running again.

Awesome, nice fix Freddy! Thank you so much for watching!

How would I know what size capacitor for my AC?

[@LexVance]

It says it on the capacitor. Like 30/5 mfd or 40/5 mfd. Makes sure the new mfd ( microfarads ) match the old capacitor.
