I hate when Voltage doesn't play well with others. Keep making the trades great again Mikey Pipes and Peter piper. Text and retest till the voltages all fall in line.

[@PipeDoctor]

:)

[@BlueDinnie]

I was screaming at the screen pressure switch the whole time. That partially open and closing gas valve was the giveaway. Sometimes the switch itself isn't bad but as it wears and you get dirt in the air tubes they get sticky. Pulling the tubes off one at a time and blowing through each of them has proved to work well if I can't get an immediate replacement. My granddad used to make a dirty joke about it I'm not going to repeat it because I joked something similar on Daniel's channel a few months back and he yelled at me 😂

[@PipeDoctor]

I blew through them right away. It’s habit. That’s why I discounted it until the end

[@BlueDinnie]

Ahhhhh 😯

[@Android_Warrior]

I am here for the troubleshooting......... 💪💪💪💪💪

@@PipeDoctor : I am not a HVAC or a Plumber but your troubleshooting skills and logic helps a lot!. Thanks.

[@markdiot64]

Excellent video Mike. Great testing. Most would have had a call back the same day. Way to stay with it. Great low voltage video. Keep them coming

[@chuckquinn8026]

Diagnose, diagnose, diagnose, but most of all, always double check your work 👍👍🏆🏆

[@PipeDoctor]

Yes! Thank you!

[@Capt4141]

This has to be code for …… we are going to sandals for the pool party

[@scottmaz4063]

Hard rock I think

[@01Hokiefan]

@@scottmaz4063was going to say same thing. MP mentioned Hard Rock pool before like 2-3 cabanas.

[@ruffnrocky1]

I'm surprised you didn't check the pressure of exhaust system. Pressure switches are fairly reliable and it may have been doing its job. If you're not testing, you're guessing.

[@justmc62]

Great troubleshooting Mike .. I'm a big fan of the min-max meters... Allows you to work like a gentleman and be a skilled technician .

[@mattl643]

Excellent diagnosis Mike. If you ain't testing you're guessing.

[@michaellupo3480]

Mikey can you please make a video on troubleshooting those type of fan center relay i always get confused tracing the wires.

[@PipeDoctor]

Sure. Will do.

[@antoniosantiago2770]

How did you set the universal pressure switch i know fieldpiece has one whith three ports in a manometer is there another tool i knew there was one but dont see it. Just so someone dont think you just put them in with out adjusting

[@tylerwilliams3868]

i knew it was the pressure switch the second i saw the title because im a basement warrior

[@williamserver4332]

Great video. Thanks

[@PipeDoctor]

Glad you liked it!

[@KavinSBS]

Mike i like you videos, more videos like this

[@nonamesplease8228]

How about putting a manometer on the pressure switch to verify if it is the switch? Instead of throwing an after market pressure switch on. Which I'm sure the pressure setting was a lot lower than the OEM switch. "If you're not testing, you're guessing"

[@PipeDoctor]

No thanks.

[@nonamesplease8228]

@PipeDoctor I figured as much. Do as mike says, not as mike does

[@ralphgiampietro85]

Also should have checked the flue and chimney for blockages

[@steveblake8766]

Thumbs up

[@ThatEMOguy74]

Off topic for the video. how often do you come across Dunkirk boilers and do you ever install them and what would you thoughts bo on the COMBI MODULATING CONDENSING GAS BOILER from Dunkirk?

[@PipeDoctor]

I’ve seen 2 in the last decade.

[@ThatEMOguy74]

@@PipeDoctor I grew up where they were made and couple of my parents rental properties have them and I learned how service the old beast can't beat a good old cast iron burners

[@luisdetres8331]

great divide and conquer

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks!

[@jaepcam]

I never see you work on oil. Do you refer those jobs to Steve Lav?

[@PipeDoctor]

WTF is that?

[@jaepcam]

WTF is what?@@PipeDoctor

[@tjlovesrachel]

@@jaepcamoil😂

[@TheRAMBO9191]

He doesn't like icky oil😂🤣 work clean not dirty. Somehow that works.. 🤔🥴

[@jaepcam]

I know, he is a prissy boy who is afraid to get dirty and wears gold jewelry. He calls himself a master plumber yet never works on toilets or bathrooms or kitchens. He's mainly an electric and gas HVAC guy. He just did a video about wanting to save the trades but refuses to work on the ones like oil burners that get him dirty. If everyone used his logic, who would fix them? Steve Lav isn't afraid to do any job in the trade. He is a TRUE master plumber/HVAC tech.@@TheRAMBO9191
