[@jmead6121]

thank S FOR tutorial 28 yrs in & it helps me help my new guys understand Defrost ..Greatly appreciated Thanks Tad

[@terrychetvidz]

Simplified, Informative, and straight to the point. Just another awesome video 👏

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you so much

[@jeffreywhitlatch1409]

Dude your camera action is so good, and you're such a gentile good schooler. I hardly ever see HP's in SW FL. You get an atta boy for doing such a good YOB.

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you my brother

[@carlossaenz4075]

Is very straightforward Especially on the evaporator and condenser and how they change with the reversing valve You're giving up great videos simple examples and direct

[@red1tpm]

I wish you Lived-in Shreveport Louisiana...you would have my business!!!!!

[@ramchillarege1658]

Your video of on the job defrost initiation was very well done. Thanks.

[@TaddyDigest]

your welcome I am so glad you think so

[@cashonlyj3469]

Watching from Paris nice job you're a teacher for sure.

[@TaddyDigest]

thank you for watching my friend ❤️

[@randomvideos9413]

Most parts I get I am lucky I get any paperwork. Sometime the stat is knocked off and I have no clue where to put it. I have typically seen them on a condenser(evap in heating lol) u bend. Mini splits are taking over and I am trying figure out how to diagnose their defrost. It’s defrost season lol. I had a nightmare with a WIF defrost clock on Friday. Found out I forgot a jumper between 1 and 2. I found indoor/outdoor coil easier to understand. But from a technical standing it is important that people understand that they switch. I actually have to go back to a Lennox fan/defrost issue and their tech support is impossible to reach. Tomorrow I have two HP icing issues lol.

Nice as usual I just learned how to jump a defrost board temporary till a get a replacement 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TaddyDigest]

Great to hear!

Hi, so during defrost the indoor coil is cold AND the auxiliary heat is on at the same time? So you have very hot air going across the cold coil? Thanks for your tutorials.

[@walterpreza4969]

Can you please tell me the name of the book that is in this video, thank you.

[@brandondavis3763]

If overnight the defrost comes on, but continues to blow cold air into house for over an hour, what could ve wrong? In Phoenix there is now aux heat

[@TaddyDigest]

There has to be auxiliary heat. Otherwise you will get cold air blowing in the house When the system goes into defrost, there should be a wire from the outdoor unit that energizes the indoor units Heaters to prevent cold air

[@jllerena488]

@brandondavis3763 did you find a fix for this? I am going thru the same situation. I wake up and it is blowing cold air, though I replaced defrost board yesterday.

[@ОлегЗатварський]

Please help me. I try to 3:24 troubleshooting what is going on with my freezer ( it all in ice). I checked all sensors, and defrost sensor was always close. I order new one and when it came firs of all i try to check continuity and I have it. So this one is close too, so i order another one. Another one have continuity too, so right now i doesn’t know what to do. Model of my fridge is GNE25JSKGFSS and number of thermostat is WR50X10069 / AP3884325.

[@dillonlexington]

I learned about the "test" feature, but would like to see closer details on where you jumped between the defrost terminals

[@TaddyDigest]

deal Thank you for watching 👀 😀

[@hvactuneups1149]

It's on the DF terminal

[@charley408]

You always put a jumper from a hot/power wire to the pin for the component you want to force on, in this case bipassing a faulty thermostat.

[@theanimewatcher7172]

Df1 & df2

[@miguelrojas3394]

Thanks tadd, I learned how to huck up gauges during heat mode, how do you determine unit needed new thermostat sensor and new control board.thanks for Sharing knowledge 🙏🙏🙏.

[@TaddyDigest]

awesome Miguel Thank you for watching

[@chavezmonte]

good video ,clear and straight to the point

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you for watching I really appreciate you

[@titovazquez589]

Very good information. Thanks for the advice. I have a question My AC unit make a very loud noise when kicks on it is like 4 months old. I don’t know how to fix that. At this point two technicians still my money trying to fix it but I still have the issue. Any advice. Thank you. It is a Goodman 3.5 tons AC gas furnace

[@TonyRodriguez-ok2ix]

heat mode is different in gauge set up.

[@robkat8884]

Shouldn't the sensor be on the coil and not between the expansion valve and the distributor?

[@joecozzo5476]

My trane unit is leaving some frost/ice on some of the unit during snowy conditions.. the manual says to "cut jumper j2" to raise the defrost termination temperature.. you have any Info on these units? Thanks dude

[@mooosestang]

what are the symptoms of a defrost thermostat that's bad? If I disconnect the defrost thermostat from the board wouldn't that simulate a good thermostat since it will see an open circuit?

[@TaddyDigest]

use a meter and ohm it out then drop in a cup of ice water to see if it opens or closes

[@ob1shawnobi]

Can you explain why you changed the defrost board when you determined it to be a bad sensor? I've seen this a lot and I'm not understanding why both are often changed together. I'm trying to learn.

[@pedrocastano6410]

You should know the answer lol.

[@randomvideos9413]

I’ll say it. Call backs. Do them both always.

[@rafaelandreano]

What would’ve happened if you hadn’t connect those jumpers for the defrost thermostat? And instead you would’ve DT already on place.

[@williamjefferson7642]

Thank u from the incite.

[@hvactuneups1149]

Learned how to ohm out that the DF

[@federalentertainmentstudio6511]

Hi. I love your videos. I've replaced my run capacitor, and the run stop capacitor. And the outside fan turned on for about 3 seconds and shut back off. Now the outside fan won't come on. It's just that loud hum sound. Is it stuck in defrost or something? Please help. Thanks in advance

[@TaddyDigest]

could be bad bearings Replace the motor

[@federalentertainmentstudio6511]

Ok, thanks. I'll look towards that area.

[@mariusm3595]

Awesome video !

[@TaddyDigest]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SEANRMZ]

thanks, I tried jumping the speed up pins and nothing.. I also removed the defrost sensor and jumped them pins before speed up. Still nothing. I also changed the DF board.. still no defrost. Weird might call in a tech

[@Fire28-js]

It sounds like you're not getting 24 volts to the board...

[@robbelle3707]

On my heat pump the defrost thermostat is attached to one of the u shaped copper tubes on the ends of the coil,it’s like that factory is that right,the reason I’m asking is I need to replace mine,I’m a sparky not and hvac tech and it’s my unit ,we had a cold snap and my heat pump became an ice block

[@TaddyDigest]

That's correct it should be there So when the coil temperature gets below a certain point.

[@robbelle3707]

Cool ,thanks,swapped it out today,working like a champ

[@carlossaenz4075]

Usually the unit outside Coil is hot and the vapor Inside the home is cold when it's Winter and it's a heat pump And it's in heating mode the outside cool becomes cool and The inside coil becomes hot

[@TaddyDigest]

That is correct

[@JeffCrumrine]

Nest T-stats don't have aux Or EM to use.

[@ignacioflores193]

Said no power to the rv, what if rv is energized in heat mode?

[@borshardsd]

Are you a tech? In our region rheem ruud is the only jerk that uses rv for heat, all of our other common brands use rv to cool.

[@bettylane1984]

Thanks!

[@TaddyDigest]

No problem!
