[@reasoningtruth]

Good find. What I find most of the time is a dirty condensing coil. Clean it and then go enjoy the cool. A dirty air conditioner (AC) condenser coils can cause the compressor to overheat and cause the compressor thermal overload to trip until it cools and resets itself. Heat buildup Dirt and debris on the condenser coil can reduce its ability to release heat efficiently. This causes the condenser to work harder, which can lead to overheating. Strained system When the condenser coil is dirty, the compressor has to work harder to compensate for the heat buildup. This puts extra strain on the entire system and can lead to accelerated wear and tear on components like the compressor and fan motor. Just be careful how you clean the coil, the fins are only aluminum and bend very easily. Low-pressure air from the inside out (the opposite way the dirt is getting into the coil so you not driving the dirt deeper) followed by water the same way. Do this until the water runs clean. This method is good for water-soluble debre if you have oil-based goop you'll need a coil cleaner detergent, again, be careful of the aluminum chemical reaction and use designed cleaners. Normally, this is how I fix package A/C units, but even room units are the same.

[@mikemerrill1542]

Excellent video, and very helpful information. I watched several other videos first, and they assume you know all the technical jargon and parts. One guy said "test this" and "measure that"... while the camera showed his back as he leaned over the compressor. No idea what he was doing, testing, measuring, etc. This video was VERY helpful.

​@@jeffostroff What brand do you use for EVacuation and for Charging the Refrigerant ❓❓

[@Huzzunga]

Nice to find almost exactly our Rheem. It’s one AM I’m going back out because I didn’t see the cap in the tray. So I’ll pull the two screws and look again. I pulled the tin loose, swept, vacuumed, then kaboomed the coils with Kaboom toilet cleaner, not a hack something I found in the garage cabinet we don’t use. Anyway it’s a foaming cleaner, then I gently rinsed the coils from the inside out. Fired it up, output is cold to the touch, but close to the A coil in the closet the pipe is tepid at best. So I’ll go give it 15 minutes of water, I’m sure it was warm. And hope the HVAC Gus appear tomorrow. Thanks for making this video. Maybe cooling off will help for overnight.

[@MrPenafiel1]

Thank you so much brother for your info. I was able to get the compressor to work using your techniques. I really appreciate your time and effort to make this video 👍

[@geezberry8889]

you said something very important which is the compressor may shutdown during peak heat times then work in the evening. i believe this is my issue.

[@r.i.e.9603]

Hey there -- I have a window AC unit that suddenly started blowing the breaker any time the compressor starts up -- the fan is running fine but if I turn it to Eco or Cool it blows the breaker. Any ideas on how to jump start this? It's been HOT out here!!! The filter was VERY dirty -- I have since cleaned it and ordered foam cleaner ofr a deep clean on the other side of this heatwave.

[@jeffostroff]

If the unit is blowing the breaker this means you got too much current flowing which means probably the windings are wearing in the compressor motor most likely or you could also check the contactors and any relays that you might have in the unit that switches the power on for the fan and the compressor if those are old and rusty that could be causing it to draw more current other than that my money says the compressor is going bad

[@LordoftheCats]

Thanks, I'm ordering a spare capacitor and a hard start kit for my AC today!

[@LordoftheCats]

I clicked on the link for the hard start from Amazon, and it told me that it was a frequently returned item. Is there another kit you would recommend?

[@edwardlebowitz757]

Mr. Jeff: My 1-bedroom apt has an old compressor with direct drive...no logic module here. I've been here over a year and the A/C compressor never cooled correctly. If it is 90 degrees F. inside and I turn on the thermostat, it will take hours to go down to 83 degrees F. Can you email me as to what my problem is? Thank you. Ed.

The capacitor fails most common. I had the compressor fail once in 17 years, but the capacitor failed a half dozen times

My supply vent isn’t giving a certain room much air and stays warm. Besides possibility that duct maybe damaged what can I look for ? Bad damper at the ceiling? It doesn’t make any difference that I open or close it. Same weak air.

An amazing video, thank you so much for making this video such of a great info.

[@Wavyysav]

What should I do if compressor doesn't come on with the hard start kit added? I tested leads on compressor and everything checked out. New contactor, new run capacitor. Initially i diagnosed bad board. Unfortunately that was the least of the problems with this unit as the compressor will not come on.

[@waynevannice8463]

Great video and information. And your presentation style is superb!

[@dcolleve]

Hey Jeff, over on West Coast, FL. Can installing a Hard Start kit prolong the life of your capacitor/compressor?

[@jeffostroff]

Yes many people get quite a bit of extra life out of it just be ready for when you think it's ending the end of life for example you're hearing it grinding or vibrating too much that's what the problem was with this air compressor unit here, was that it was vibrating the pipes going into the house and hence vibrating inside the walls very loud inside the house. Someone that time comes that's when you should start looking at getting the replacement AC ordered in right now many air conditioning companies are reporting 8 week back logs on ordering equipment. A friend of mine is getting a rheem unit installed and she is waiting until mid September at least for her unit.

[@thesetruths1404]

What is the typical operating temperature of a common kitchen refrigerator compressor? A modern one, less than 10 years of age. Mine is running 125F when not running, and up to 170F when running a lot to restore fridge and freezer temps. Is this fine? Thanks.

[@reneenank7048]

What if i only have one capaxitor- a run capacitor? Is there still a way to use the boost hard start?

[@edzanjero353]

Extremely helpful. I always thought the buzz sound of the compressor was normal. Suppose I get the buzz sound at startup, but the air is still blowing "ok" but not cold-cold? Is the compressor still bad?

[@swade_macky8927]

Once the compressor isn’t working u won’t get cold air

You're the man! Thanks for an awesome video! You saved us from sweltering in the heat!

[@raynardblake8566]

Does this hack works on refrigerator compresser 2

[@dalebabbitt6185]

It's usually the capacitor. Same goes for the run/start capacitor on the air handler fan motor. Dirty coils on the condenser and the evaporator are also culprits. Dirty air filter doesn't help. MAINTENANCE!!!

[@jeffostroff]

Yes no one hoses down their condenser coils! Supposed to be done annually. I replaced the run cap twice last year and the fan cap once, and then the contractor, which on my AC, was pretty much all of the electrical components

[@bigtower2003]

Had an appliance repairman install that Supco boost on my fridge when it was at the end of the road, bought me another 1 year before it died.

[@jeffostroff]

Yes these little boosters are really nice miracles a lot of Bang for the buck mine was only $18 I bought it from the supply house, but I can imagine the appliance repair people are probably charging your $100 for the repair right?

[@deejohnson5163]

Hi Jeff, so helpful thanks. We are sweltering here in the UK at the moment and our aircon has decided not to blow cold! We checked our compressor and have ordered the supco spp5 hard start kit but the letters on our compressor are U, V AND W. Where do we connect the wires to on that? The wires are black, red and white. I hope we can fix this as its so hot at night. Thanks :-)

[@jeffostroff]

You should connect them right back where they were. The letters U, V, W, mean the 3 phases in Europe. In the USA they are marked as L1, L2, L3.

Why are you using two separate capacitors for the compressor and condenser fan motor?

[@4motofanatic]

Great video Jeff. Can just the compressor be replaced, or does it call for a whole new unit?

[@jeffostroff]

This was 17 years old so I replaced the whole unit. On one property I owned we replaced just the compressor

[@CrisCord-vv4bp]

This is the way.

[@iketheranter9126]

What if it has a soft start installed? What sort of load does this add to the run motor windings?? Obviously with that compressor, it doesn't matter.

It should work on any compressor that uses 120vac

[@derick441]

Good way to get killed if the disconnect has been bypassed. Check for power at the contactor and each leg to ground before checking anything after the breaker or key has been pulled.

[@tecunumantonatiu4484]

Excelente Tutoríal!

[@jackarentphotography9822]

If I can hear my compressor humming away while the fan is on does it mean I probably need to change the capacitor to get the air to blow cold again?

[@jeffostroff]

Yes put your hand on the compressor tank and if it feels too hot to the touch then it probably means that it's not actually spinning so you will probably want to try doing the hard start capacitor

[@ketotrucker6262]

Super GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU. 🙂

[@vincentportaro9851]

Is it an issue to replace a start capacitor with the same rating, but not the exact model number? I have a Philips start capacitor with model 3530B8C0270A330B1 (I think) and can't find that exact model.

Hello Jeff...great video...several people have recommended the 5-2-1 hard start kit for my 3-ton A/C unit. Do you know if the Supco SPP5 would work better or the 5-2-1? Thanks.

[@jeffostroff]

I think the 521 would be a better kit to get for you because it is always better according to the experts to have the capacitor and the relay separate. The unit I bought was a cheapie $18 unit with the relay built into the capacitor now it worked absolutely perfectly for the 5 days that I needed it to work before we were changing out the unit. But if you're trying to squeak out a lot longer life out of it you may want to spend a few bucks and get the 521 hard start kit.

This high end Dave Lennox signature collection air conditioner comes with a 10 year warranty for parts.
