I had a big issue with my furnace. I have watched many videos, but yours is the only one that showed me where to find the low pressure switch. After I replaced the part, my Goodman dual stage furnace works like before. Thank you very much! Excellent explanation! 🙏
Company I currently work for used to only install Goodman and amana. This low fire pressure switches fail frequently due to moisture. Pretty common in those models
Great work thanks for sharing I’m from Michihan sometimes it gets too cold for furnaces in crawl spaces some times a little moister will freeze inside pressure switches or lines when furnace is not running ,
I noticed a T in the hose (actually two T's) to both of those pressure switches. I couldn't see the spec on the other switch to know what it takes to close the other one, but if there's enough negative pressure to close one (depending on its spec, of course) but not the other then it seems pretty obvious to me the switch has to be bad. If the vacuum was low coming from the heat exchanger none of those switches would be working. I think you're right to put the manometer on it to make sure there's no flu issue but with those T's in the hose, that tells much of the story in this case.
I always bring a pad lock for crawl space calls. I open the door and put my lock on the hasp and lock it. That way, no one can mistakenly lock me in. Don’t ask how I know this.
Great diagnosis process ! Wish most HVAC folks would do the same vs. "project" what is wrong without testing first. I also agree with the type and make of the part replacement due to the engineering variances there are from make to make...get the OEM part and go from there.
I use a small hand held manual vacuum pump and listen for a click and ohm out the contacts. Auto stores sell them for drawing brake fluid into a caliper when changing the fluid.
That cover around ac. Reminds me of the 1s who put things in front of return cover vents with beds and furniture keeping air close 2 floor tell them it go in 1 ear out the other
Very well done! Also, we're you on a flight to Sacramento, Ca 11/28? If you were I was sitting right behind you and said your name several times but you were wearing headphones! If not there was this guy who was an incredible duplicate of you including pony tail! Lol!
Some of them are worthless for home stuff if you use them more than once of year. There are some diamonds in the rough though there, and thier quality is getting better as they seem to actually pay attention to youtube tool reviews, especially the guys like AvE and projectfarm that take them apart and test them rigorously.
first thank you for this valuable video i got a gpg14m unit past days it worked perfectly daytime, nighttime it simply didnt turn on vented and within venting tried 3 times sparking then itself cut off really mysterious why daytime works and nighttime not i was guessing mightbe daytime less user on gasline, and gas pressure higher but i think its conspiracy theory :-)
Why in the world would you try and hide a condenser?? Does the homeowner know that, just about every house has one and is common to be seen at every home? I sure as heck don't go around the neighborhood and say, eww, thats an ugly condenser or that's a pretty one. If the homeowner is that stuck up on appearance of their property, they should move into the woods where no one can see the house.

A nice crawlspace...i've never heard those two words used together before. Thxs for the vids!
That's like putting nice and prison cell in the same sentence.
Homeowners hate when you tell them that they're blocking the AC with something like that. They seem to get very defensive.
just rattle off it's over $3000 to replace it when it quits from overheating. that usually changes their tune fast ;)

Certainly, the air to AC unit is obstructed . That will cause damage to the unit . Good catch !. Thanks . 👍

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and humor on your channel. Happy Thanksgiving.

Also known as a hand pump brake bleeder.

Every rose has its thorn. Every cowboy sings a sad sad song lol
Never put more than 2 wires under those low voltage connection. Use a pigtail. Guaranteed issues later on
Great videos Mr. Cook!
coming soon, call back for the other switches failing :))

The Cowboy is back in business 😎
harbor freight tools are good for home projects but complete garbage for anything professional

Daytona 3 Ton Rapid Pump Jack @$179 on sale is one of the best on the market. Pittsburgh impact sockets/extensions are good as well.
first thank you for this valuable video
i got a gpg14m unit
past days it worked perfectly daytime,
nighttime it simply didnt turn on
vented and within venting tried 3 times sparking then itself cut off
really mysterious why daytime works and nighttime not
i was guessing mightbe daytime less user on gasline, and gas pressure higher
but i think its conspiracy theory :-)
I might get one of those cases for a manometer and CO detector since I usually get those out at the same time
Really appreciate your videos T-will from Stlouis,MO
Great job, ride’m Cowboy !
-0.30 or -0.76 which one would be low?🤔🧐
Sorry I just couldn’t help myself
If I remember correctly, they come as a set.
You used a fuse instead of you jimmy wiggler? Don’t misplace your jimmy wiggler that’s your most important tool!!
Where is the filter on a horizontal mounted unit like that?
Great videos
Nice job and video
And I thought you were about to whip out the old Magnehelic
Great video, but ruined by the commercials every two/three minutes.
thanks

They probably don't want anyone to know they own a goodman!
To prevent male dogs from urinating on the coils...
I learned something
"E2"???? So a Goodman furnace comes with it's own diagnostic codes ???
Why the sq hose ? Greater volume ?
Wont kink or collapse like round hose
Code was a 23 not E2... just kidding
Oh. Yeah e2 from the movie ?
Way too many ad’s, Ted. You’re losing me…
Pay for CZcams premium or deal with it. This takes effort on Ted's part and he should be compensated. Lots of the ad stuff is beyond his control too.
Its jumping because its bad
