She Smelled Smoke And Then It Quit Cooling

In this video I visit a tenant who I could only see on the weekend because of her job. She complained of smelling smoke and later that the condenser fan motor wasn’t working. #hvac #hvacguy #hvactechnician #fieldpiece #hvaclife #hvactech #acrepair #hvacinstall #milwaukeetools #carrier

When I was a lineman it only took me once to learn to check for wasps on pole transformer because when your up in a bucket there’s no where to run.

[@kg4muc]

I second that statement. No where to hide. Learned that the same way. Being allergic to them stinging critters todays keeps reminding me!

[@TombstoneChris]

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide. That would be miserable.

[@mos8541]

😱😱😱😱

[@davidca96]

Im a cable lineman, was attacked by bald faced hornets from a nest the size of a basketball once that was hidden behind our power supply on the pole. I was in the bucket, couldnt run.

[@MattMorris481]

@@davidca96 Yeah it damn near makes you want to jump.

[@led_handymanservicesocalif6432]

Nice work, KO plugs are cheap to plug the conduit pipe location for wasps issues, so filling the hole is good and to code by the NEC Electrical Code. My comments are intended to help others and you. Great job 👏 I learned a lot from you Curtis

[@gainestruk1]

Most of my tools are Craftsman I bought in 70's and 80's when Sears sold high quality everything.... good catch on bad bearing.

[@WeatherNut27]

My first screwgun starting in the electrical trade was a craftsman from Sears. Mid 1990s. Haha. I got some looks from the mechanics. Lol

[@aptove]

If i could offer a suggestion, on those carriers, try to cover up the compressor compartment when you check your pressures, those suck a lot of air up to the OFM through the hole in the compressor compartment. Your pressures will come down some, if it is really hot outside your high pressure can trip with that panel off. Also that indoor coil is notorious for having leaks, it is worth a peek to see if there are oil streaks, there is a replacement coil that is tin plated. I did a lot of work in Arizona and due to the sun down there we tried to avoid having those reversing wires exposed, they tent to rot in the sun and expose the wires after a couple years. I am not sure if you have the same issue where you are at. New viewer to your channel, I love your gauges, I got out of the field 10 years ago so i never got to see those.

[@GM-qh2ki]

Nothing kills wasps faster than non-chlorinated BrakeKlean!

[@my-yt-inputs2580]

Good tip. Probably cheaper and longer lasting than Wasp Spray too.

[@MegaDysart]

Yeah, except maybe chlorinated brake cleaner

[@orinmangar2333]

Carrier is a great brand. Nice job fixing it up Curtis.

[@ericcrenshaw5126]

I love watching your vids on my lunch breaks. Last Friday I changed out a blower motor on a carrier gaspack had wasp nests in it but didn't notice until it pull the drill on the compressor door.. didn't know I could run so fast.

[@Colorblind_Guy]

Pro tip, on your iPhone calculator, you can also type “ 40 - 6% “ and it will show what 6% is, and if you type = it will show you the total. Knowing the formula is always good too, but sometimes it’s nice to have it quick. When I do the math I mess up the equation sometimes and have to do it again to get the right number.

[@MegaDysart]

Dude. That is super cool, it works on android too. learn something new every day 👍🏻

[@jthonn]

Nice job, beats crawling around the attics or crawl spaces.

[@observingfornow5667]

When I was getting complaints about a burning smell inside a dwelling it was usually the fan control board in the air handlers. Just the smell initially but if it was allowed to go on too long, visible smoke and charred wires.

[@cezar09]

I do this in Texas, give me a 95 degree day any day over 110 😂

[@marthasmadman]

Yep Texas is scorching hot in the summer

[@Robin-ni6fs]

Usually the motor amp draw is based on 230/240 V because it's lower then for 120; that's been my experience when installing electric motors. 😎

[@Vaticider69]

People think I'm weird for having a fan when digging up a water service in a crawlspace or even just replacing a faucet while under a sink.... comfort is key to a happy everything...

[@bobboscarato1313]

It can save your life; I used an umbrella outdoors when needed and had plenty of cold water; for attic work I had a vest with ice packs!

[@YukonHawk1]

Glad this was an easy fix for you.

[@Mark_The_Mayven]

I believe the higher amp is for the lower voltage “208“ and the lower amp is for the higher voltage as that would seem to apply to Ohm’s law. Not an HVAC guy, but I do deal with voltage all day.

[@robertjoseph1592]

I believe it was the second scenario he mentioned: higher Amp draw for the higher horsepower ratings (black wire) and lower for the lower HP.

[@yourworstfear]

yet your still alive.

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

Interesting about your Sears comment. Our local Sears closed down about 2-3 years ago and today the entire end of the mall that used to be Sears has now been torn down, and they are building a Publix grocery store where it used to be.

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

Curtis don’t ever see you measuring the blade distance to be the same as old setup was But you get it correct every time. Nice job

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

Some of the time the shafts aren't exactly the same length. A rescue motor will have a longer shaft for blower operation as well. But getting it in ballpark range and making sure it doesn't rub on anything is good to me. There is also always a mark on the shaft so you can measure that and just size it up that way. But being precise is always the best

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

@@acrservicesmathewr7565 The motor he used had a longer casting / length so your shaft marking wouldn’t line up. Really should measure blade end Tip to the lid before removing to match the new motor/ blade height. Or measure the shroud to blade tip before removing and then reset the same

[@musicnerd72]

I have that exact DeWalt fan.... Definitely a life saver! 👍

[@joehead1294]

I'd say the amps go with the hp rating... The crimper on lineman pliers are for buchanan splice sleeves.

[@brucesayre3559]

Lowe's where I live sells a 6-n-1nut driver made by Idea. It has 11/32 like your looking for. Checkout your local Lowe's store.

Man you work 7 days a week and you own your own business I commend you. You make these videos so entertaining and I've been learning and my question to you is I'm 40 years old no experience but do you think it's too late for me to get into this profession? Because I've been in restaurant business my whole life and I'm sick of it. And I never been so fascinated with air conditioner work in my life then when I started watching your videos.

Nice Sunday job! Coincidence, my Wife bought me a Klein nutdriver set as a gift and the 11/32 was the only size not included. I found out they are sold separately. I bought one to work on a microwave oven and to go with my set. She got it at Home Depot for around $10.00 Amazon sells them too but the Depot was handier and matches the set.

One of the motels for whom I service PTHP's, requested pricing on removing the 5-2-1 from their 5-ton TempStar split, and replacing it with a soft-start system. Until now, I'd only ever installed them on RV's (Coleman or Carrier AC's). With electricity pricing going 'crazily high', I have a feeling that I'll be fielding more requests like this. I'm in central PA, are you guys down south seeing this, too?

[@waynespoerre]

Lower the voltage, higher the amperage

[@moonlightacmaintenance3232]

That looks like a new blade as easy as it came off. I suspect the old one tore up and someone found one close enough and the motor is over amping and kicking out on thermal hints the burning smell.

[@moonlightacmaintenance3232]

Your tap and cap needs to be whichever is closest to power coming from disconnect. Your amps would also be reflected on voltage. If you put wrong cap with wrong voltage you’ll have uneven amp readings on your motor windings.

[@joehead1294]

@@moonlightacmaintenance3232 Are you saying in this instance that it's gonna be 208 volt 1/3 hp, 230 volt 1/6 hp? Or did I read that right? My understanding is try to match the original hp with new hp. Fasco gives motor replacement tips like that. I think max amps on this motor is 1.9. Don't know what the service factor is.

Those rescue motors are designed to have their own separate run capacitor. One of those brown capacitor wires from the motor is a power feed wire and if you put the wrong one on the dual run capacitor, you can burn up the motor or blow a fuse/trip the breaker because the dual run cap already has a power feed wire on it
