No Cooling Service Call, York package unit

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

Quick tip on those horizontal blowers. Use your level, more specifically the side with indentation, after putting some decent tension on it. Put it on the belt edge....helps with alignment of the sheaves. It's not spot on perfect....but it gets you close as heck. Love the videos as always, brother

[@EverythingHVACR]

Great tip! Thanks, Jason

[@Jon.Rushing]

Mason line and line level works too. If you want to be real fancy they make laser pulley alignment tools too.

[@EverythingHVACR]

@Jon.Rushing, yeah, those alignment tools can get expensive, too. A good eyeball works great for this small stuff. Thanks, Jon

Even the easy ones to you are informative to us newbies. Thanks for all the effort to produce the videos

Had a newly installed York package unit with the belt alingment so far out it would shred a belt in 2 days. Ended up shimming the front mount mount bolts and moving the blower sheave out about an 1". I think, York and Carrier are running a race to the bottom.

Thanks, Somewhatcurious. Quality control is non-existent these days. With the shaft and key, the way I found them on this one, I think someone had their hands on this after installation and just did a poor job.

[@jfrancis98]

Lennox is right there too. Misalignment and super loose set screws…

[@EverythingHVACR]

Yeah, they're all right there.

Great video Steve...you have great attention to detail...e g identifying all the potential rubouts, putting the brass cap to get a good seal on it..."Leave it better then you found it"- Everything Hvacr Greetings 👋🏼

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks, hvac_audaz_firme!

[@rcf8367]

👍 Great assessment & fixes Steve, in defense of York those weren’t factory issues. However, the wire routing & dress out is rough, that’s classic JCI/York’s lack of controls engineering & workmanship..

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks, RCF

[@Paul-IE-Repairs]

it looks like the motor pulley moved, you can see the shiny spot on the shaft

[@EverythingHVACR]

Everything had been messed with, I think someone replaced one or both pulleys at some point. Thanks, Paul

[@mrbugenhagen3364]

This is just my guess. The misalignment wore the belt out prematurely and as the belt gets worn down the adjustable pulley pinched the belt and broke it. I have seen that happen with adjustable pulleys because the belt just keeps on digging until it gets snagged. Great video as always

[@EverythingHVACR]

That sounds about right. Thanks, Mrbugenhagen.
