- During this central AC service call we used the Coolpressor tool to cool off the compressor out in thermal lockout, replaced a questionable dual capacitor and also replaced a seized condenser fan motor. All on a Trane Central AC system that isn’t cooling.

As an electrician. The first thing I saw is when Air Force none talked about the wet disconnect and when he put it back he had his other hand on condenser I thought no bueno. Then when I saw you do it with hand behind your back I said. That’s why he’s Mikey F****n Pipes
Another nice job, as always Mikey.👍
Morning Mike and crew
Great video as usual.
Good shout out
The Ted Cook trick always works 💯💯
Hey Mikey Pipes &Air Force none nice work and having fun at the same time. Keeping it real time. She needs a maintenance guy for the pool. I’m not a bad guy myself but my X took everything from me so she has to sweat. LOL
You discharged the duel cap with your wire strippers, but your pinky was in the back of the jaws touching the metal !!!
Im glad you didn’t get zapped thou.
Good job 👏 I like your videos pal 😊
Always with a great attitude and smiling. Keep it up.
That’s the same house you installed that Fujitsu in. Return customers are key to success
That coolpressor is pretty cool I've been doing it the hard way for years. Hahaha Need to get one of those.
@@PipeDoctor you are the first person I've seen use it. Definitely already looking for one.
ran into this same exact call today compressor was so hot steam was coming off it
On four wire condensor motor the brown wire with white stripe is only used when using a seperate cap for fan. In your situation just wire nut it and leave in cabinet. If you ohm out the two brown wires they are connected internally in motor
Wrong. The white and brown and white stripes are connected!
Mikey Pipes do you recommend covering your condenser in the winter?
Wow, get that lady a condo fast.
I tell Ted all the time. Waiting to see him get zapped. Lol
Shalom
Good morning Mikey!@#$%^pipes
I've always just cut and wire nutted the brown and white stripe wire. But this works just the same...its just common which goes to white on common side so it works just the same...cool way to do it too...
I can't believe that I finally see a service tech using a non contact electrical tester,only makes sense. I still use muti meter when necessary. Also please mark which floors these units service
you should always back up the non-contact tester with actual meter measurements, before going hands on the wiring. been there done that, got shocked before trusting them alone, plus you can get false positives, they don't work for DC and most won't detect low voltage below 50 to 60vac(unless made for low voltage, but then they scream at everything).
but yes they're great for preliminary troubleshooting. I've had and used many of them over the years, right back to about the first one marketed.
You don’t have to use that brown and white wire you can just cut that and cap it. That wire is the same as the white wire if you did an olm check they are connected in the motor
yep, done many that way.
👍👍
Looks like my ex partners house yesterday . Filthy ac filter ,slow draining sinks ,leaking hydrants , water hammer due to failed diaphragm in prv, ,water on garage floor (failed t&p ). Some people just wait way too long .
Hey Mikey pipes what’s the model or part number for that condenser fan motor you stock. Looking to get a few cond. fan motors and a few blower motors that I would consider universal that I can use on air handlers, furnace blower motors and condenser fan motors? Thanks I’m advance much appriciated love the vids and entertainment
Here in the Carolinas there is no way you would set your cool to 66 degrees. Just not possible due to the type of summers we get here. Unless you want your A/C to run 24/7.
Depends on your Insulation value to your home.,. 2022 attic insulation R-39 vs 1970 R-14.......
insulate and air seal, followed by good windows and doors. with it sealed up and insulated good, it could be made into a deep freezer ;)
@@throttlebottle5906 my housse is 6 years old i never had the chance to test the A/C well this year it got to 105f had the A/C on 75 the ac did cut off no continuous run
Did you also fix the pool? Lol
Mikey Pipes, we need you in NJ! Get over here! 😂
How do you like the sprinter vans? Currently using my pick up truck. Have you tried the transits? Pros of the sprinter?
@@PipeDoctor mike you're also in stop and go traffic. My express has 22k miles and the brakes are still pristine
Personally I like the transit more as far as the cab layout goes. And they seem more comfortable. But the sprinters are nice. Only downside is if you get the tall you have to remember you can't drive it everywhere especially if you put a rack on top.
Hope the water going in the pool got turned off.
He left his van keys on hose valve.
@@PipeDoctor free water
Sunday sermon. Did she need r22
ahh, typical trane wreck, failed fan motor and cooking compressor. 825 rpm(or zero when failed), go figure!
**they typically die of bearing failure/motor tight to turn. it usually happens over winter/long off period and turning them by hand may get them working again for short term. you can guesstimate if they're going to fail soon by the power off spin down time, as the blade slows before stopping you'll see the last few rotations look like someone applied the brakes.
or at least I can usually tell and suggest to replace them, funny when I do that and they deny replacement, only to say you were right it's broken after winter.
I just have a good ear and sense for most all mechanical things.🤓
Mikey gives the pipe to this customer in 2 ways. Side 🐥
Not every transaction with the customer has to be cash or credit 😉
Mike !!!!!! THANK YOU so much !!! I am a mechanic and I'm great with electronics. I rent my house 🏘️ and the ac took a dump . I came home and the outdoor unit was screaming 😱 and making crazy noises. The landlord sent someone out and they said to replace it .she wanted to call someone else. 🤔 It was hot as 🔥🥵 I need my ac .so I been watching for a long time and said I'm going to check it myself. I noticed the outdoor fan motor did not come on all the time . I took the cover off and noticed the contactor was burnt . I tested the cap and it was out of range 😃. I want on Amazon $45 and a day later I installed the parts and 💥 💥 boom !!!!!!!! This whole week was hot 🔥🥵 heatwave. Today was almost 100 and I had ac . Thank you so much Mike . I fixed it 😁!
First
youre gonna be badk to replace that cap in a month. unplug the brown and white. you cant wire the brown and white to your common. those wires need to be alone. unless you jump to add UFs to that cap.
At 15:38 mark you can see that L2 on the contactor and C terminal of capacitor is jumpered together with the red wire which makes them electrically the same point. So if the brown/white and the white wire are also electrically the same point, than no harm no foul. And if one of those Long Island rats chews thru the white wire, system would still work.🐭
Wrong son.
Weird slippers she’s wearing lol
She's a trend setter.
She stole that house
Wish you would tell us how much you charge or at least give us a ball park number
@@PipeDoctor Money and cost of repairs matters when determining the path to repair. Especially when there are multiple options.
@@inthedarkwoods2022 you need to ask you should not be in busniess. Every part of the country is different and charges different prices.
@@potatolew4495 you need to learn grammar
@@inthedarkwoods2022 please with the fucking grammar police. I am too busy fixing hvac systems to learn BOY. 30 years in the busniess and loving it.
Good morning there Mike pipes everything you say on your video is really nice and helpful the only problem we have here is this is not politics CZcams is for people to watch and learn all politics is no longer and big business and you're not worried about what politics do all presidents run the same.
Is that supposed to be English? What the fuck did you just say?
Be quiet stop being a wuss u snowflake
You have a problem; the problem is YOU! Mikey Pipes is his own man and has many followers; this being said, keep your communist comments to yourself.
Let's go Brandon
Bad capitactor bad relay,
Your a pisser ... I,m entertained and I pick up some tips(CoolPresser) to boot ... Thanks Brother
Mikey this is only a request, please don't use foul language. You are 100% professional until a zinger comes out.
@@PipeDoctor Don't apologize, you are who you are, and a few zingers shows you're real and not some delicate snowflake who gets offended by everything.
My 40+ years of service experience showed me that customers don't mind the occasional f bomb or other adult word...in fact I have found that trying to talk to an adult client while choosing words for children makes them respect you less.
Of course, if there are children around, I never used adult language.
