Never Ending Call…At the End Of the Day

[@kennethnapier131]

I built my wire bucket from all the decommissioned units I took out. I pull all the wires out and save them.

[@deanmartin1966]

A master of your trade. Impressive. I had to rewire a boiler the other day because some handyman added an ignition module and a transformer. It was a standing pilot with a thermal couple and they thought they could light the thermalcouple through the Spark. I’m not going to lie I did look at that wiring diagram a few times.

[@jthonn]

It's amazing some of the rigging they come up with. What's really freaky is when it works. lol

[@deanmartin1966]

@@jthonn Yeah when I looked up the model numbers I was like this does not take an ignition module. Lol. Trying to light a thermal couple with a spark igniter. We definitely see some crazy stuff

[@throttlebottle5906]

that's funny, half a conversion to intermittent pilot. only missing the gas valve, flame sense pilot assembly, etc. may as well add some rollout protection and more safeties while at it. that has me recalling everyone gutting the electronic ignition "junk" and replacing them with standing pilot setups in the 1990's. those would have been 1980's units that had failures.

6:23 - Rufus with Chaka Khan. LOVE that song, every time it comes on the radio I crank it up! It's a nice little earworm, every time you hum it I smile a little because it's stuck in my head too.

[@Perly53]

Wow. Great work! You rock, sir!

[@jthonn]

Another fine job done by one of the best in the business!

[@robertgentile4498]

Oh my gosh, great discripton,ne very ending,and then The condenser fan motor noise,made me want to cry 😭 great job sir unfortunately there are way to many guys that would have never did all that work,, sales men ... Not mechanics like yourself .

[@lcbeal3715]

Remember these 2 words "Job Security". Good job .👏

[@hughholt121]

Great job Curtis. Sounded like still had a clicking sound some where around the condenser fan.

[@jthonn]

I heard it too, but didn't sound harmful, I hope.

[@GoldSeals]

Thats residule water hitting the blade

[@noahbaggett9037]

War eagle ! Out here catching calls in the Florida winter ! Yeah right . Like watching you do exactly what I do everyday and 60 hrs a week

[@jackl9922]

Great job! People out my way usually quote new system.

[@Eddy63]

I have those same Klein needle nosed pliers and use the heck out of em ... Good troubleshooting ... Thx for sharing ...

[@OGHVAC]

Fantastic troubleshooting and repair. I used to have cascading problems on neglected RTU's on strip mall roofs and BARD unit's at cell tower sites in God forsaken mountain top locations ALL the time. Had to have a 55 gal drum of water with a motorized pump attached to clean coils out of there. No water available at those remote cell tower sites. I'm fortunate to be retired now and have to deal with all the headaches that kind of HVAC work required. Another great video Curtis! 👍🏾

[@melvinlazear8068]

also i enjoy seeing the residentail side of hvac repair i do nothing but walk in coolers and freezers

[@JesusSaves71185]

I can relate to this so much. Pretty much exactly how my day went. Happy Monday 😵‍💫

[@Wayman_Simmang]

Curtis, I am sure glad you can follow those wires.. Amazing..

[@soundslikebstome]

A cascade of events! Well put.

[@mll4519]

Great to see all issues resolved!

[@hinspect]

Busy Job!👍🇺🇸

[@catwrangler1613]

Good fix. A weak cap will also cause or contribute to the relay points arking out.

[@charliebrewer617]

It’s amazing how things cascade in problems. Auburn will be playing that song for the rest of the season. 😂

[@stevofishell254]

Love Rheem heat pumps service friendly light weight

[@qyouwilber5734]

You sure do stay busy. Great job getting these videos out. Thanks, I do enjoy troubleshooting too.

[@billybrown1979]

like the video. lot of work in the heat. be careful out working in the heat.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Nicely done! Gotta love when the problems just keep coming, all you can do is fix 1 thing at a time. Keep up the good work 💪

[@Bryan-Hensley]

If you need to pressure wash those blower wheels, I always do it before I take the old motor out. You can get those things turning so fast they sound like a jet starting up..

Excellent video and like always video is very informative and have a good day !

WoW that's Amazing

[@willflores671]

These kind of calls always happen at the end of the day

[@jthonn]

At least he didn't do all that work and find the compressor was bad...

[@derrickwilder5366]

😂😂😂

[@549BR]

Or, on the weekend.

[@jameswood9764]

Good video. Would have moved the blown relay out from under the wires in case it blows up again??

[@melvinlazear8068]

yep that relay is cooked did you find what caused that

[@bevshelden6536]

Seems like I could still hear strange can noise?

[@electrodynamicwaves]

You should get a Purdy brand paint brush to use as your new duster.

[@bigdaddy5948]

Definitely a good idea to consult with the owner before making a 2000 dollar repair

[@jthonn]

I'm sure he got the permission he needed, wish he could come do mine.

[@officerkrupke4966]

Parts and labor, 559 dollars.

[@davidmayes6960]

Great job!! How bout the F150 lol?

[@caru3257]

I switched from watching the Dolphins to a series I am watching on Netflix thinking they would find a way to lose and then I found out the Bills killed the clock and lost. 💁🏽

[@billsimpson604]

95% of technicians wouldn't even have cleaned that fan at all.

[@johncspine2787]

I was afraid you’d turn it on, and after all that, the relay would burn up again and torch all your wire work..

[@muniznick]

Do they have 3 stages of cooling, pkg unit, window shaker and a PTAC

[@keithN6]

It’s always the ones at the end of the day that never end

[@HobbyOrganist]

People seem to assume electric motors just last forever with no maintenance, same with capacitors- both will fail, when the sealed "lubricated for life" bearings in the motor go bad the motor burns up, and when the capacitor goes bad it can also burn the motor up or it just won't run right. We have a Delta dust collector at the shop by the table saw that has a start and run capacitor set, I could tell something wasn't right as it seemed to take 10 seconds to start up and ran like it was on half voltage. I opened the cover over the capacitors and one was dripping oil, had the local electrician from whom we lease part of his building from get us a new capacitor, it came a week later (had to fit in the small case, so it had to be the right one going in) it ran fine, but a few starts later it was back like before and that capacitor was leaking now! And I wasnt hearing the centrifugal switch clicking, So I pulled the motor and took it to a motor shop and a week later it came back, put it in, worked ok for a bit then the capacitor was leaking AGAIN! Sent it back to the shop and they said the contacts on the centrifugal switch in the motor- he adjusted a little and replaced the capacitor again and that fixed it. The motor was only 7 years old! Seen plenty of capacitors at work go bad, tempted to say just replace them every say- 2-3 or so years regardless

[@mikehall3193]

Just for fun. I wish you would do a video featuring your Volkswagon. If you do, tell us about changes when the went to the Super Bug.

[@creeksidemonkey]

Is the Inficon D-Tek Stratus your go to leak detector now. Do you find it better overall than the Fieldpiece 82?

[@marioj.8059]

Why do you strip, twist, and then fold the stranded wire? Does folding make for a better secured connection?

[@HVACGUY]

Yes, more there to crimp on to

[@DavidMoriconiM3inspect]

So I have to get new equipment soon, in florida how reliable are the new rudds 16 or 18 seer heatpumps these days

[@chris76-01]

I have a full pail of scrap wire 👍

[@peter-pg5yc]

wow it never ended..

[@retired0307]

It looks like you have all the W/D's memorized.

[@tphvac87]

Lack of maintenance, toasted wires man=high amperage

[@hartsfire5706]

wow that thing was a train wreck..

[@mimelio]

Yuck what a mess that was. That relay was fried to a crisp

[@ben4061]

What happened to your bigger meter

[@tedhicks5431]

Stuck sequencer?

??.qwaayyt wait! are those GLOVES you're wearing? wow..and u still got fingers to put in them... smh

[@Haas1997]

Good thing you had on gloves or that would’ve been a nasty cut from the evap coil

[@andybonneau9209]

Why would you rewire a running system instead of looking for failed components?

[@crazygravy437]

You would think they would use rust proof metal in the design of systems for outside. But nooooooo what do they care!
