RUUD / RHEEM CENTRAL AC SYSTEM NOT COOLING DOWN HOUSE

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Steve, It's amazing how electrical and mechanical systems can still work in some of the dirtiest conditions.

[@WeatherNut27]

Nice job checking the labels, was wondering myself since it sounded odd. Now you gotta get 3 caps for truck stock. 50-5, 10, & a 50-10.

[@jorangel87]

Mine is from 1994 same one still working but juts went out yesterday, surprised it lasted that long.

[@javiergalvan242]

I like that you knew something was wrong with the capacitor Steve, sweet video and learning video. Have a blessed weekend and keep them video's coming 💯💥👍☝️

[@Hubjeep]

I'd say in the majority of his A/C repair videos the cap is bad! That one looks like it may be original. Check it using microfarids on the meter.

[@gregspot]

Nice work! It was nice hearing the compressor fire up.

Missed you yesterday too - hope you are doing ok ❤️ to Miss Molly

[@CitizenPerkins]

Nicely done, sir!

[@jacktorres8691]

hey, that coil has a sweater on. Needs a good cleaning. do you ever use chemicals to clean the nasty coils? on all your videos you only hose them out with plain water. you are not a believer in coil detergent? do you put tablets on inside drip pan to keep drain clean, or do you not believe in those either? just curious. thank you for your videos. you are an honest man.

[@dock_yard1149]

Steve just talked at some length on why he does not recommend coil cleaner. Play every video he put up in last 5 days. You’ll hear it while he’s driving.

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍

[@Adam_Poirier]

Hope you are doing good Steve

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

For these AC units, it looks like if you can change a cap and insert gas, you can fix 80% of the issues with these.:) Maybe a fan motor now and then.

[@kevinmaguire4437]

Hello, I was curious if anybody out there has an opinion about the air conditioner service contracts that some of these companies tried to sell? I was quoted $229 for the year is it a waste of money or is it something not needed because I can perform basic tasks on the air conditioner how much further will they go and is it worth $229. Thanks in advance for any input.

[@donhorn548]

Good fix

[@michaelholowati7437]

I have the same exact air conditioner, and it has a same exact capacitor.

[@dalekronk496]

Question do you charge for 2 caps being you had to use 2. Because you didn't have a 50/10

[@andylowe2725]

What Capacitance Value, was the old Capacitor's 50 Microfarad. Reading? Thanks!

[@dock_yard1149]

I saw 45.xx on the meter. You didn’t?

[@andylowe2725]

hello Steve and Ms Molly.

[@gregmercil3968]

A couple weeks ago I had a bad capacitor on an old Weather King unit, all the info on the capacitor itself was non existent. I googled the model number to see what capacitor it needed. I got lucky and found what kind of cap it uses.

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@davidparizek6741]

Steven and Miss Molly back in Action 👍

[@markchambers2812]

Success !!!

[@Shortie5-1]

What size yellow wire you use to jump th common?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

same size as other common wire is a good practice

[@Forddude24]

These use R22 refrigerant ?

[@bkhoavo]

Why 2 capacitors? Thanks.

[@zippythechicken]

got to do what you got to do ... she will be happy now

[@TheWilferch]

A 50 uF unit that reads 45 maybe isn't "great".....but it certainly is OK being within the allowable 10% variation allowed. I wouldn't call it " definately no good"....(3:00 - 3:07)

[@USCG.Brennan]

So Ruud and Rheem are the same or just similar? I own a Rheem.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

same different name

[@USCG.Brennan]

@@stevenlavimoniere Thank you...which name is older and did one buy out the other? I have a new Rheem hot water tank and it's working great.

[@purplegoose7907]

Have a lot of those old Rheem cubes in my area. Pretty reliable, but that one side of the coil near the compressor always gets dirty first and worst.

[@thomaskaraindros28]

There are 1000s of those little Rheem cubes in my area still. They run very well.

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

Yes I still see them around. Very reliable. Im not a fan of there indoor coils. They get restricted and not easy to clean out

[@speckulator7516]

They are good units but for some reason the condenser coils are always dirty. You can have another brand next to it and they will be twice as dirty. Idk if it coil fin spacing or who know what.

[@skullen2286]

[@rodfroelich5908]

Great electrical diagnosis. BUT, clean that damn thing. Very nasty

[@Demy26]

Hello Steve

[@Ogtonyg]

Those coils look like they need a lot of love with some coil cleaner and a hose.

[@Shortie5-1]

My home ruud has the same capacitor 10/50uf 350v - 370v

[@linuxlinux9914]

Mine has the same capacitor to just had to replace it the board and relay. Was going to call a professional but everyone wanted a emergency fee and said they most likely would not have all the parts. Amazon prime to the rescue.

[@thehappytexan]

Why not clean that coil while your there to give more value to the customer and help the old machine march on?

[@hitekrednek66]

Well done steve! Love it when install work around. Do you have to jump from main cap to fan cap? How do you do that?
