Good catch on that broken wire Steve....like you said I bet a lot of techs would have just condemned the compressor and tried to sell those folks a new system

[@mattbrown4329]

Hey Steve I’m a residential tech 2 years in, just wanted to say thanks for the videos. I learn something new every video I watch.

[@WeatherNut27]

It's also the little things I like too like taping up the screw container with electrical tape. Things I can relate to.

[@CB-fc7es]

Hopefully you have learned the being honest lesion which is the most important.

[@user-sx2xy8dn9v]

Class act Steve, fix it instead of replacing the unit. You do so much for the customers! Great video and keep them coming 👍 👏 👌 💥☝️

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

Great job Steve. It's great to be an HONEST guy!!!!!

[@Fred-xo3ku]

Steve always looks out for the elderly. 👍

[@pooldoctorofclermontinc5788]

I am a swimming pool repair contractor down in Florida. I recently found your channel and really enjoy your videos. Great content.

[@omaraguilar6362]

Protect this man at all cost you’re right they would of try to sell her a new unit thank you Steve great video ! I been saying your quotes when I be doing service call sometimes lol have a great day

[@janicelaurin7263]

Thank you for helping that older woman. You even put the date on the filter that you changed for her. Very helpful and thoughtful.

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

Nice that you helped out this elder lady. I'm sure if ya had time you would've just ran the water over the cond coil and goid to go. 🎉. Go hit the bakery downtown there and get a treat, enjoy.

[@markcotter2355]

nice to be able to take your puppy with you, Miss molly must be having a blast to get to go on a ride.

[@John-dp3ln]

Nice job. Take care of us seniors. Impressive.

[@jeffdickens7019]

Good job Steve I knew you'd figure it out thanks for taking care of the elderly

[@hinspect]

That was a great troubleshooting Video! Nice of the Assshole with the String Trimmer to come by, I was waiting on Cousin Leaf Blower! Looks like that Compressor was drawing a *_LOT_* of Current without its Start Capacitor 👍🇺🇸

[@zwwz4537]

Steve, you are going to have to add a set of pruning shears to the toolbag!

[@petroman-cg8tt]

Steve your the one percent of people that are very honest, most big companies would have condemned the unit and sold her a new ac-complete. Joe H Navy Seabee

[@davidparizek6741]

Steven, your a fricking Genius Thanks for the Miss Molly Shots👍

[@J-Colt]

Excellent video Steven! You should charge extra for landscaping, lol. Thanks for posting!

[@daviddesilva4971]

Add pruning shears to your tool list. Thxs for the vids!

[@nosaya3]

This video was great cause it dug a little deeper into an interesting service call.

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

Excellent fix Steve 👍

[@tedparkman3111]

Awesome job Steve as always, your da man! Molly is great also. Love you guy's!

[@richardreynolds9885]

Steve you brought the real brains of the company with you,the great miss molly.

[@a1f1l65]

Really enjoy your Tech Tips

[@Garth2011]

Agreed, those flag terminal crimpers would make the wiring go way faster and uniform in the crimp. I'd have to agree, a young tech would look under the hood of that condenser and say, this place needs a change out. I disagree, if the thing worked last week and stopped, there's obviously something that needs repaired to get it up again. (most of the time). Tell the customer the system is getting old and they should consider newer equipment when they are ready. Most of the old stuff was built to last so much of them are worth keeping and fixing, to a limit.

[@ricardorodriguez4538]

Give them the old how you doing “” haha good one Steve. Admired the great work ! Honesty is key.

[@agostinodibella9939]

I wonder, could the bad capacitor cause the old corroded flag terminal wire to finally burn off due to the extra current draw?

[@Garth2011]

I'd say a slowly failing cap would put added heat into the wiring diagram !

[@frankrizzo3915]

Good Afternoon Steve!

[@theimaginator16]

I love the sound of this Bristol compressors when they start up. A sound from my youth.

[@mpflood]

Flippin tablet is right, Steve 🤙🇺🇲

[@mikescarano6752]

Well you seem like a nice guy. I watched a video of you working on evaporator blower motor that came on then off then on. you checked voltage in real time and under load. You made the right diagnosis that the motor was bad but wasn't sure why it was acting that way. The problem with the motor is that it has a weak thermal overload and that's why it would start up and then kick off over and over

[@blackpine6693]

Keeping the unit clean and clear inside and out….plus covering the top during the months not used ….goes a long way in preventing breakdowns……falling ice in the winter can wreak havoc…..

[@tammytoncray9600]

Had this sane thing happen about three weeks ago. I only had a little nub to hook to because it all burned off. Ended up with a butt connector.

[@brianmoore5498]

nice job. bristol compressors kick ass

[@syntaxerorr]

I've always heard those terminals to be called a spade. That's a right angle spade terminal.

[@chrisladodgers]

Steve, always love the videos. Always wanted one of those magnetic trays you been using. Walked into Northern Tool the other day and saw some and bought a few! Yeah mama!!

[@skullen2286]

you can't stop a noisy old bristol goodman, mama! xD

Hello Steve!

[@bmark0610]

Whats the best outside AC unit? You seem to repair a whole bunch of Goodman's. I have a Lennox no issues.

[@ntsecrets]

I work in IT and we had a whole data center go down because a fan wire got caught in a blade and it blew the main breaker instead of the branch one.

[@luissalas9270]

Great job!!!good video

[@scurfie2343]

We've had two Trane systems in our 25 years. Only had one relay go south.

[@darrenskinner5928]

It’s no good mama Steve’s a real working man next level

[@swampasssapper3643]

Kicking cans down the road making em run again. Good job Steve.

[@richardellis3141]

nice work

[@scottr8360]

I swapped out my 90's machine (owned personally for 13 years) capacitor and condenser motor (not a Goodman) last month. Sure as hell cheaper than a new machine.

[@fredjohnson3423]

Enjoy watching

[@user-su5ft8lc9q]

Thank Goodness for Goodman, IT'S HARD TO STOP A GOODMAN!!!!!!

[@tall8743]

What would you recommend for the all around best quality, best running , the absolute longest running oil boiler ?? It's a serious question because the home we are buying has an American standard forced oil boiler that is 55 years old. Thank you in advance .

[@overwatch2671]

Hence the reason why I keep a pruning saw in my tool bag. I'm not afraid to from some bushes.

[@demetriosa7646]

Do they still make Brystol compressors. And we’re they always that noisy even when new ?

[@davidlabar-jn2ig]

Bristol went bankrupt in 2018 and sold to a foreign company. The older 90s compressors were definitely louder then the newer models. Unfortunately the Copeland Scroll did Bristol’s recipes in.

[@eddiehollner8801]

Hello again Steve

[@chuckquinn8026]

No vacation with Miss Molly this year Steve?

[@chrispixx]

Steve is working again y'all... kick the can down the road mama. Can't stop a Goodman, while a Trane falls off the tracks.

[@deanguando1335]

Another Goodman.

[@jonathanmessore1907]

that mr. magoo laugh gets me...

[@leeb.7188]

Why is the fan wire always brown, but when it comes to the other wires, there’s no consistency on the colors?

[@anthonyelectric6045]

I’ve got a 1996 r22 and still going strong-so far lol. Hey Steve is the 22 better than the 410a or is it a rumor?

[@SFBay69]

Same

[@craigharding475]

Steve, you sure were patient with that guy working the noisy weed eater while you were trying to work and record!

[@johnwaby4321]

It's great that you try to fix things first Steve . Before condemning Them 👍👍👍👍

[@alannewsome1729]

[@tonym6920]

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

[@gaoutdoor4372]

This unit has two dryers?

[@picklerix6162]

The suction dryer is installed when acid is present from burned windings. Of course, the lineset should be flushed first.

[@USA047]

Make him eat the weed wacker

[@donhorn548]

Manufactured during May, 2003

[@ClickinChicken]

Why do you wear gloves man?

[@scottr8360]

Ironically, the weed eater man was weed eating the lawn, but not the weeds by the house.
