hvac :condenser keeps running multiple low voltage issues

[@TPINSC]

Don't You just love it when the customer says ''this thing has never worked right'! Good job.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

MrMultitool never worked right sense it was installed 5 years ago. been through 1 compressor

[@mattmalyj7964]

@@stevenlavimoniere you did say before these things can't get below 70⁰ degrees

[@leanorlando]

Wow what a headache. But you did an awesome job as always Steve.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

leanorlando i got it fixed thats all that counts

[@hannarye]

Great video bro, glad to see the ice cream truck rolling again. It sounded a little quieter.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

hannarye running good for the most part

[@arniegrote319]

What a flippen mess, Good thing you changed the thermostat, I installed a lot of them in the past, Had a lot of problems with them. And I Love the ringing of the bell.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Arnie Grote flipping mess is a under statement .got her fixed thow .the lady said there has always been problems with this system .she is never home . second home type of thing .

[@jenko701]

One of your best yet , nothing like chasing stuff like this down. Great job.

+Jjames Anderson it was a good video i was thinking

[@rolandoborja5132]

Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge.

[@dwight.bennett]

You're having too much fun with ringing that bell! And I'm having too much fun chuckling.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

[@robertbegley6858]

You are really good. I would've been trying to figure that out for hours.

[@bobparrott8130]

[@ESDI80]

What a mess with those wires! Good job on the repair! :-)

[@chadrocker5775]

steve is working again in the ice cream truck lol

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Chad Rocker yes mama will be proud

[@acousticchris03]

Why didn't you just disconnect all lines and do and check continuity for a short from line to line? But overall great find.

[@vetdadcubby4722]

Lots of good troubleshooting in there Mama..!

[@floridasaltlife]

Do you know if the customer realized there would be old screw holes showing after going to round stat ?? Did she not care or just not say anything about it. Around hear they would have a fit if I did not forewarn of that. Just curious if it was an issue.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Doug Doty i talked to her mother about the holes she said she had spackle and would fill in the holes .

[@robertdeliajr6755]

Great work love the Bell in the ice cream truck

Steve fixed it again....Nice work

[@dburto13]

Nice work Steve, lot of trouble there.

[@derrickowens3072]

I bet that green wire was touching blue and yellow somewhere but I would have done exactly what u done good work Steve on locating those shorts very professional!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

derrick owens low voltage problem can be a head ack

[@MrFrozen73]

Nice fix Steve!! Momma Steve is working again in the Ice Cream Truck, momma!! LOL I just have one question Steve: If the wires were touching together somewhere they shouldn't be blowing the fuse at the board or the transformer???

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Jorge Chavez if the common was touching then it would be a problem . not the positives together they will just send a bad single

[@robertweeks1171]

What will really piss you off is when it is 98 degrees outside, and you got to go in the attic where it is a 140 degrees to try and find the short.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Robert Weeks no dout

[@michaellicitra7632]

Look at 19:33 of the video. Is it possible that the ends of the unused Tstat wires at the condensing unit were resting on the sheetmetal frame and shorting out together? The rest of the circuit is unclear, but maybe that is what energized the green with the yellow when fan was in auto.

[@israelcontreras6635]

Whoa momma!!! Great video. Good work.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

israel contreras lol

[@Garth2011]

Gardener needs to get to work trimming all of the plants around the condenser. Bad thermostat and the yellow/green/red wire?

[@FarmFreshIB]

Man you earned your money on that day! Wow.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Farm Fresh wow was right

[@ronaldrodriguez7033]

Thunder Ridge Homestead i

[@michaelhicks7613]

that yellow wire upstairs should have been capped.. if it's a constant 24v due to a short with red then now he has an exposed 24v line upstairs that can short out against casing blowing fuse or transformer

[@francescomaestrelli7515]

Not many junction boxes around :D How likely is it that wires are touching inside a cable? Unless a screw got driven through the cable or something...

[@jdtv...9134]

Do you ever use compressed air to blow the dust bunnies out? I'm actually a Sparky I'm not an HVAC guy I'm just curious

[@TheHobbyShopFilms]

About 15 yrs. ago when I bought my house, I went to remodel the kitchen, decided to strip it to the studs to insulate the walls and add a few new dedicated plug-ins. What I found was darn right scary. Looks like they went to the auto store for the wiring. Wire nuts hidden in the wall, incorrect gauge single strand wire. I'm surprised the place didn't burn down. Good Job -Todd

[@stevenlavimoniere]

TheHobbyShopFilms you never know what someone did before you get there

[@Brad1237202]

Nice job Steven!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Brad1237202 thanks brad

[@dklucas1]

Great work Steven psst i would like a ice cream sandwich and a sundae cone LOL

[@DC.402]

this man can fix hvac system's

[@Satchmoeddie]

I bet they got a batch of bad T stat wire. I live down in Arizona. The whole state of Arizona is copper mining country, so wire mills used to be everywhere. That was "back in the day". I worked at the AT&T wire mill, and at General Cable in Kingman. They are supposed to test the stuff, & throw away the bad cable assemblies, but they don't.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

+Seth B i do see bad tstat wire from time to time

[@mingzhang2192]

Seth B how long you working hvac? This is very basic ,why you say not thermostat problem.

[@jamesskelton6744]

how long did this job take you to complete.

[@DavesGenny]

I have a similar problem. I have an extra blue wire by the thermostat. I looked inside the furnace for the blue wire didn't see it. Am I looking in the wrong place?

[@gabumoh]

I can't be the only one that saw the spark at 20:07 - 20:09

[@ntsecrets]

I see it too!!

[@ntsecrets]

Could be a piece of dust though

[@joshuaniegisch4106]

I've had 5 Robert Shaw stats go bad this year . The cool , off , heat switch on all of them was not making good contact in cool and kept short cycling the system . Those stats are absolute junk haha

[@hardlucktech604]

lol Ice cream truck, actually it looks like a Food Truck lol

[@stevenlavimoniere]

HardEnd6ix its a great work truck to carry the weight .the looser that called it a icecream truck still lives in mamas basement in his 50's he would know a real work truck if it ran him over on the high way

[@ryans413]

I get confused because in Canada we use degrees not Fahrenheit. So 72f I know it's not 72C. It lower but just more easy to degrees

[@zeke112964]

+Ryan Scherbluk You use degrees not Fahrenheit? What does that mean? You have degrees in Fahrenheit and Celsius ...........They're just different scales

[@paulschmidt7473]

I wouldn't think ice cream with your truck, I think most likely a repurposed FedEx truck.... I'm wondering something though, the guy who installed that, does he have a licence? If so,should he?. I don't have one, and even I know that of your doing a wiring junction, you use a junction box, even for low voltage, then use the same cable from end to end, so you can use the same colour conductors from end to end. I am sure that thermostat cable is cheap enough in big spools that you can just buy the one with the most conductors and cut off short the ones you don't need. Rather then joining bits of different colour wires together. Yes I would leave a small loop of about 3 inches at each end, so that in the future I could use one of those unused conductors.

[@MrJohndeere3720]

nice work :) my gandma needed a new thermostat. the old one died, but she cant get the new ones to work right with her furnace.. there on there 2nd thermostat.. something wrong somewhere.. but who know's, shit in that house is old..

it's that your working van? looks like garbage truck .
