WRONG DIAGNOSTIC causes BIG problems | HVAC | failed Rheem control board

In today’s video, we have ourselves a no cool call. No matter what the customer did with the thermostat the system would not operate. My initial thoughts were right to the thermostat, that it was the issue because once I jumped it out from the control board in the air handler (instead of jumping it out at the thermostat), I would’ve known that. It was not my initial thought.
So after diagnosing a bad thermostat which it wasn’t an installing the thermostat determined it was the control board because I wasn’t getting voltage out of the board. And this is what can happen when you’ve been running calls all day and it’s hot and then you overthink it and overcomplicate it! Enjoy
Hope y’all enjoyed the video if you could smash that 👍 button and SUBSCRIBE!! Appreciate yall 🫡

Good work dude, no one’s perfect and we are all capable of learning from our mistakes 💪

Much appreciated bro! That’s all we can do 😅

Sometimes those pre-conceived notions have a way of keeping you humble. It's so easy to go down that rabbit hole. You are a good tech keeping it real. That Jumper King is the bomb.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

It absolutely does that’s for sure 😅 appreciate it!!

[@user-eh2ek6kk2m]

I've done the same little mistakes my brotha! I figured the board was bad.. I love those Rheem WWll tank units, they last forever if maintained in good shape! Be careful with this Tropical storm bro! ✌️ from Miami!

I’ve left the Jumper King at a customers house overnight and just told them when they got too cold to turn off the red switch. When it got too warm turn on the red switch!😅👍

What I'm picking up is 1) you need to add some stock to your van, and 2) Curtis is not the only one who has the guts to include his mistakes. So, this will get fixed. Now go and stock your van!

@@OnusBones dude right 🤦‍♂️ I picked up some stock this week that’s for sure! And plenty of mistakes from this guy that’s for sure 😂

[@alias177]

Mr. Krauss, checking power at the thermostat is the step right after confirming 24v at the air handler. if i do recall, the base of the original thermostat was from a Pro1. The Pro1 thermostats are the best thermostats for Techs, honeywell BLOWS. this is day 1 ac tech stuff. didn't see a refrigerant check either. we want good technician work, showin off fancy tools doesnt help you be a better tech.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

@@alias177 ahhh 💡 genius thanks alias!! Adhd gets in the way from time to time 🤷‍♂️ and the pro1’s are ass, no issues with the honeywells on my end!! Didn’t need to check pressures, went back out the next day? May not make you a “better tech” but least you look cool using it! 🤣but the worlds in a better place with techs like yourself!! 🙏
