No Cooling Blank Thermostat On Carrier Package Unit

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

I hate it when you go looking for the short.....and it doesn't show itself again. You obviously hit all the areas where thise crap boxes are known to rub out. Its happened to me countless times. As always great job Rick

[@richbrockmeier3922]

I'll give props to US electrical code. A disconnect at the unit makes a hellofa lot of sense and super convenient for techs. Asia still uses a wall mounted breaker, sometimes pretty far away. Small matter but that unit mounted disconnect is a time saver. Another good video.

[@HVACRSurvival]

It depends where the job is, sometimes if it's not inspected it can get forgotten.

[@crforfreedom7407]

Your videos are a great way to start the day! Great video again Rick! You're putting out the best content on YT for guys like me, they're fantastic! Thanks so much!!!! Learning so much, it's so greatly appreciated!!!!!!

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks freedom👍👍. I'm glad you're getting something from them, that's the whole point of doing them. I'm definitely not getting rich off this 🤣

[@sterlingarcher46]

Man a thorough man innit 👍 Drives me mad when I can't for sure find the exact culprit , keeps me thinking did I miss something , just really frustrating . But with all you did I'm pretty sure you got it covered though 👍

[@HVACRSurvival]

We get judged pretty strict by call backs so you either have 2 find it, make a judgement call or document what you think it could be. Thanks 4 the view and feedback 👍👍

[@hvac01453]

great video, I like like your methodical testing the path of the hot leg and elimination by pulling a connection. 90% of unit more than 5 years old have the economisers disconnected from intermittent trips. The cost of a new mod motor... eliminates the "do you want this replaced" question by sheer costs involved. Problem is, now with this covid-19 thing, IAQ is going to be a big thing now. so all those defunct economisers will be a cash cow.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Lol. Now it's do I use one 2x4 or a 2x6 to keep the damper open 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimbass924]

@@HVACRSurvival 🤣Economize the cost!

[@hddm3]

Damn you know your units man. Very smart. Thanks for sharing

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks hddm3, I feel I do ok but I'm not at Bryan Orr or Jim Bergman level. 👍👍

[@hvac01453]

oh, one of the things I do with wires rubbing is protect them with 5/8 mini split drain hose. I split it lengthwise and tuck the wires in it. Then hold it in place with a few zip ties...especially line voltage lines that notoriously blow out copper refrigerant lines, and make a huge oily mess.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Good pointers 👍👍 Thanks 4 commenting!

[@gregbowman3598]

Good one Rick, them carriers can drive you crazy sometimes when looking for a short, have good one and stay cool

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks Greg, you too 👍👍

Great video man.

I appreciate the view 👍👍

[@mwatkins2464]

I enjoyed your videos 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks man! I appreciate you watching!

[@realSamAndrew]

At 4:30 and 5:00, you talk about the "new" short finder and it doesn't use a PTC. Where can I find info on how they build it and which product are you referring to? Do you recommend the new one or you still don't like it?

[@HVACRSurvival]

The new one is not a PTC it's basically a breaker with an LED light.

[@realSamAndrew]

@@HVACRSurvival do you know the product name or have a link?

[@HVACRSurvival]

Have you looked in my description of the videos? I have a link to almost every tool I've used in my videos or tools I just like, it links to Amazon where I get a commission but you still pay the same price. kit.co/hvacrsurvival

[@JCM2LA]

Great video!

[@HVACRSurvival]

I appreciate the feedback 👍👍

[@Eddy63]

Good 1 Slick Rick ...Shorts are fun ..Lol ...

[@HVACRSurvival]

Yeah, a real party maker 👍👍🤣

[@billburnett9951]

Something else I've done is use a piece of armaflex where the wires go over the blower. The roof will sandwich everything in place and provides good protection. Thanks for the video Rick! Economizers suck! Rip em all out lol.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Yeah that works pretty good or splitting vinyl tubing 👍👍

[@billburnett9951]

@@HVACRSurvival same method you use on cap tubes. 👌

[@throttlebottle5906]

ya got yourself when you wiggled the wires by economizer, surely the short is over there lol just put a 30 volt bulb in parallel with the circuit breaker :)

[@jmrhvac4542]

Nice fine did you find any thing out on the bosch system at the in laws

[@HVACRSurvival]

Still working on it with the supplier, supply house, Jim burgman, and Steven Rardon. So far nothing is working

[@prophetfgsm]

@@HVACRSurvival Damn you got the A-Team on it.

[@jonsaircond8520]

I was wondering the same thing. Keep us updated

[@OcRefrig]

Good vid ! My money 💰 is on that Contactor.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I bet your right. Never went back 😁

[@mitchelljohnston754]

What kind of pliers are you using

[@HVACRSurvival]

Klein is probably what was in the video that you seen.

[@mitchelljohnston754]

Thanks man love your wirk

[@mitchelljohnston754]

You looking for a short on a carrier unit. The pliers were blue

[@HVACRSurvival]

The diagonal cutters are Klein and so are the crossbreed blue handled strippers.

[@HughesManHVAC]

Nice video 👌 👍

[@HVACRSurvival]

Hopefully those end tags help you out a little bit. I don't know how many people actually stay to the very end but thank you for checking it out 👍

[@HughesManHVAC]

@@HVACRSurvival I definitely appreciate it! Thanks alot. Don't feel obligated to continue adding them for me, I'm going to continue to watch your videos regardless. Your a good man Rick 👊

[@HVACRSurvival]

That's cool of you to say, thank you 👍👍. I'm just spreading the KZbin love around 🤣

[@IFIXCASTLES]

I don't see a clo.current sensing relay. Where I am the only makeup air is the economizer . I leave open and disconnect.

Looks like you could make a ten turn on your little popper. Get a more accurate reading. Thanks for the videos

[@HVACRSurvival]

We used to do stuff like that with the old t87 thermostats for the heat anticipator. These new meters are pretty accurate.

[@hvac01453]

Hvac 1 the Q539 or 1147 sub bases for the T87, were the only style that needed that because the heat anticipatory would read below one tenth of an amp. Many times you could get the heat anticipator setting on the wiring diagram ( gas valve amps ). Most other thermostat manufacturers eliminated this device.

[@PhillipFrischman-vo8gm]

Can u explain stuff... More . And slow down ..
