- In this video I’m responding to a no cooling call where I found the condenser not running. The water sensor was activated, and later I found it low in charge. #hvac #hvactech #hvactechnician #hvaclife #hvacguy #fieldpiece #makita #goodman

One of your previous videos helped this DIY'er fix my system!! My Rheem HVAC no turn on in any mode....I remember you doing a call similiar where the yellow wires rubbed through on the compressor line....lo and behold the same happened to me...fixed the wires and changed the 3 amp fuse op ck good!! Been a couple weeks now! Thanks for the great content!
Yes sir the no cooling calls are just rolling in nonstop lol it’s going to be a good summer 💪🏻💵💰
I goofed up and had my probes set to another refrigerant yesterday. Told the customer he was way overcharged but needed a condenser cleaning too. Luckily I knocked the cleaning out and rechecked pressure before removing anything because I caught it the second time around.
I've learned that I see different pressure/ temp after cleaning, now depending on the visible inspection and age of condenser I'll clean it before I Guage up to the unit I've had better results from that practice. Great job with your meter work!
You found that screw! You need to come up here and mushroom hunt with me haha. Searched for a fallen screw and gave up more times than I'd like to admit.
😂
Real world efforts, I guesstimate half my no cooling calls have some twisted numbers boiled down to airflow issues. In the real world on a service call with 2 hour windows, there is only so much you can do to make it perfect, besides I'm never there for airflow issues directly. Maybe just 1 this week, she had a blocked supply plenum, internal insulation came off the duct...
Good job Mr. Curits! I need you around here when I drop a screw or nut on the ground as I can never find them even when I use a magnet. I like how you explain thing & why you are doing it. Keep up the good work & stay safe out there!
Probably my favorite tech to follow. Another great video. Looking forward to following you this summer.
Hmm, maybe you should have used some bubbles on that fitting? I've seen people re-use the Teflon seals on the coil when they remove the nut, right after installing it. You can crank down as hard as you like on a twice used seal to no avail.
Excellent job and video and have a good day. 😃
I always check float switch first, the way they wired it is weird it should kill red to both ends of the system, good video
Good job Curtis.
Nice video angles , 👍
Great content!
Good one 👍🏽
Use sand paper to clean the copper, the practice of moving/wiggle the clamps only works when clamps are new then it’s a toss up….. it’s hard to change behavior after you have established a norm…..
You can run joblink in Bluetooth mode(turn off your mobile data) to make it run faster in areas with less than full bars. I think measure quick still allows Bluetooth mode if you're already signed in.
Again I would start at the inside and check the safety switch, that is the best way to wire the safety switch that way the inside blower can move the air inside and early spring late winter still operate heat if weather calls for it. Have to be more careful….. especially with the elderly
You can accomplish the same thing by breaking yellow. And that’s what I would expect. Breaking red on a lot of models will only stop it from going into defrost.
I don't know if I'm the only one, I can never see your reading on gauges in your videos.
Again another low in charge AC or heatpump and they don't look that old... At least we have guys like you for fixing them.
Usually the float switch cuts the fan off too.
I live in Florida and am climatetized to the heat. We keep our house temperature at 77° ferenhight in the summer. If we lower it further then I need to wear a sweater.
I've never understood why people break Y instead of R. By breaking yellow technicians spend more time trying to troubleshoot what's going on. The condensing units not running so they go out there first before they go to the air handler. When you break R you go straight to the air handler.
Anyone reading this who breaks Y...... PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. SO ANNOYING
What good is it circulating your fan when it's 85° in the house?
correct, they brake red with a hardwired thermostat and the t-stat is blank, you go directly to the air-handler unit,saving you time, who knows why they do brake outdoor circuit, whats the point of blowin just air
Yes This right here break R wire. Breaking Y also means your circulating all that moisture back into the house.
They do that Incase the coil has frozen over the fan running will remove ice
When I install a float switch I break red but that's why people break yellow
Always use a flare nut wrench when possible.
What does those tablet do.
Tks for the video
Coil has never been changed, so low on Freon. It’s supposed to be a closed system. It has a leak!
Using new camera? Video quality is great
I am only using different software to edit, mostly to try and improve quality.
Where did you get that see through fitting for your shopvac?
What model of leak detector is that? I'm looking to keep an extra on my truck
17:58 there's what appears to be arcing where the capacitor mounts to the body. is that okay?
So far I’m at 14:00, question, i thought my R was just my logic outside to keep up with the defrost timer. It can still get the Y call and run even with no R. Or have I been wrong the last 3 years lol
Exactly. On most models that would only stop defrost.
@@HVACGUY I’ll keep that in mind on the Goodman’s
Thanks again for the videos!
Multiple problems can be a headache.
🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🎳⛳
Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!
What’s that vacuum adapter you use to pull unclog the condensate drain?
DIYvac, there’s a link in the description
@@HVACGUY thanks!
Use ‘Low Loss Fittings’ to minimize loss of refrigerant… now low on freon cuz u sprayed out when you connect your gauges
Wrong
Where did you that vacuum attachment? Looks like the same one anti diy Ted uses
It’s called the diyvac. I think there’s a link in the description.
Do you ever uncover snakes while moving those pine needles
Rarely. But I have seen multiples inside of air conditioners. Around here I see lots of hog nose and copper head snakes
30 thumbs up
Why not sand and lay alittle aluminum soldier
Dirty filter
you will still fuck up ,,,after 45 years in this business,,i know ,,,lol
just sayin,,,
Pretty unimpressed.
