Steven, thats why the dog was pissing on it, he knew the fan wasn't working and it needed a douche.
This was a great video on so many levels, from you yelling at customer for allowing dog to piss on condenser, to you telling her the capacitor blew it's load!! Had me laughing my ass off Steve. Even the wife chuckled!! Sorry about Mr. Grinch may he RIP!!
I was fuckin dying laughing
When Steve tells the customers the capacitor is bad 90% of them just say oh OK and they have absolutely no idea what a capacitor is?
He speaks to them like they know what it is, but they just don’t, you could tell them that there’s a bad brick in the air conditioner they won’t know the difference.
Truck stocked full of quality capacitors, contactors and fan motors 👍.
Looks like the dog has been hitting that with his hose. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 Mr Grinch took a dive…poor Miss Molly lost a friend today…
@@CT-vm4gf Lol. It was probably too warm to take her.
Mr. Grinch jumped out the window from smelling the dog piss on you lol
it blew its load OMG lol Steve you rock
Dog was givin’ it the ol’ how ya doin’.
that's an exceptionally funny one, full of Lavisms.
Steve should do a comedy act at some of the local bars on the side. He would do well just from the tips.
Another great video ! It’s crazy how loud the older systems are I remember them like that as a kid when I bought my house three years ago the guy that sold it to me flips houses so it has a new System the R-410A units are so quiet you’ll hear the initial start up then all you hear is the fan pretty amazing how quiet they are now.
The wasps she's talking about are cicada killers, they're huge!
Yep that is correct. I have had issues with “Cicada Killers” in the past.
They don’t do anything to humans which is good
Just when things are going great, Mr Grinch commits suicide. Thanks Steven, I like when you work on the crusty stuff!
Steve one time I was servicing a TV and I was sitting behind it and a homeowner forgot me and let her rottweiler loose it came up on me sniffing me and I gave it my hat and it ran off chewed my hat all to pieces but it left me alone haha
I’m totally hooked to ur videos… I’m not plumer nor handyman…I just love watching u ..you are awesome..
Fantastic job. Credit to your professional service.
RIP Mr. Grinch, he was a crusty one mama.
Holy shit, she's a JetRanger momma! RIP Mr. Grinch.
Hello Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all! 👍👍. Double trouble today mama! So Mr. Grinch is no more. Guess he committed Grinchicide! lol
I have an old Whirpool window A/C unit for my garage where the bottom row of fins on the coil rotted away. I used aluminum wool to patch where the fins were missing and it worked like a champ! Air flow through the coil is the same throughout. You could probably stuff some in on that condenser coil to patch it up to get a few more years out of it.
Great job Steve, "a moment of silence", too funny Steve. RIP........keep the great video's coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve, she's talking about cicada killer hornets. We get'em around here too. Bigass things, but they don't sting people.
If they don't sting, why are they called "KILLER HORNETS"??!! I haven't heard of cuddle hornets just yet...
We have them here to the kill hornets and cicadas Beasley looking creature that don’t mess with people
I can’t believe you didn’t turn around and get Mr. Grinch.
he did later video
@@markpowell1031 yeah I seen it. He said where he lost he couldn’t just go back because it happened at an on ramp I think he said.
You’re one of a kind mr. lav 👍 love it
Wow dual helicopters.
Surprisingly clean looking in that service compartment.
Omg that dog!!!!
Hilarious when you laughed at her when she said " only a couple weeks". They broke the mold when Steve Lav was made.
I like to see your videos to get some tips,,,, but more because how you interact to your customers...... amazing.. teacher.......
Two Capacaitos! Buy one get one free! Aint that a pisser, well the dog thought so. amazing old bests still running. Good video.
Only been making noise for two weeks ,brilliant
Love this video and the dog pissed unit.... All the air pulling thru the condenser will try to draw at the missing corner, path of least resistence...
Best to block off with a piece of scrap metal, more are over majority of coil.. Real SHIT SHOW.
Thanks for video. Have the same looking unit with the same problem. Hope I get that rusted capacitor changed before it shoots its load. Lmao. Been a good unit for past 5 seasons with no shut downs
Mud wasps !!! That's what they are, Steve! They lay eggs in the ground/muddy areas, then the eggs hatch in late June or so and July, build nest in eaves of house or dark places using dirt/wet soil for making their nest. Great video! Don't know what you can do about the dogs doing their business on the coils!
"Only a couple of weeks" LOL!
Steve do you ever use a drill? I mean there faster and not so much work on your wrist. You do need to be mindful of a power drill cause you can strip screws. That’s my only thinking of why you use a hand held screwdriver
Great job and video like always ( Steven )
Tell it like it is. Good job.
That Customer don’t stop talking 😂😂😂
Love the videos!!! RIP Mr. Grinch.......
lol, love these videos - you just tell it as it is :)
Mr. Grinch just realized he needs to get back to the north pole to prepare for Christmas. He has a long way to walk. Lol
nice to see you bought some new equipment! there was alot if screen glare on yesterdays show. thanks for the entertainment. dropping alot of F bombs, lmfao
R.I.P Mr Grinch.
Nice work
Mr. Green gave Mr. Grinch the ol' "How ya doing?"... =)
OMG look at that brown capacitor mama!
Awesome! Maybe a few mothballs near the unit to keep dog away?
Hang in there brother , Lol,see you on the next one.
Mr Grinch now has Road Tracks... RIP.
Great content keep cool bud
That second capacitor had a massive heart attack.
More like an exploding tummy there, that sure spilled its guts and good thing the breaker Tripped,That could sure caused a fire or Serious Trouble for sure, That cap sure was Bad, surprised the other one didn'tblow that Bad.,As its motor was Bad.And run 2 weeks like that.
Steve, love your vids and your 4 legged apprentice ! However I do have one issue. On that second unit that tripped the circuit breaker. You sent the customer to reset it. Bad move,Steve. what if that breaker blew up in her face. Most customers are not conscious about stepping to the side and looking away when resetting a breaker. You, would have that liability to cover. Other than that great video !
That's why i like inverter unit no capacitors go out and they have way more protection circuits in place
He’s a mean one, Mr Grinch LOL
Nice video steve
Bye-bye Mr. Grinch have a safe flight ✈️ hahaha
I had to replace the motor on my ac unit outside along with the capacitor. I could not get that fan off the motors shaft for anything. I used a puller and everything else in the tool box. I ended up just buying a new fan for the new motor as well after spending hours fighting it.
Wow. That one unit has taken a beating. I would just use it till it springs a leak or dies. I have seen units like this that have been pissed on for years by dogs, and most of the aluminum fins were gone, and unit still runs and kedps chugging away. Even though these are Whirlpool units, they are actually made by Nordyne and badged for Whirlpool. Nordyne is a cheap unit kind like a Goodman is.
Give her the old horizontal contactor treatment mama 😲👍
Drinking game video! A drink every time your hear "dog piss"
shes a sneaaaaky one Mr Grinch!!!!
'
Hornets, wasps, cicadas, hummingbirds are all the same to that lady. She ain`t no entomologist! LOL! One lady, later asks the other: "Did he say you needed a douche?" LOL!
I think Steve bought those yellow handle channel locks early on in his career. They seem to be on every single job, LOL...
The dogs urine turns to ammonia, then it destroys the aluminum fins… Soon after that it will destroy the copper tubing…..
I love it when the capacitor rusts all to hell and you can’t read the values. Luckily Copeland almost always puts the microfarad number on their compressors.
And when they don't Copeland Mobile is there!!!
No way... Mister Grinch took his last leap. He was green with envy of Miss Mollies' Grinch feet, and couldn't take it anymore.
did you replace the insulation on the pipes? They looked cracked.
When my moms Lennox AC/furnace finally died, it was 32 years old...
Wouldn't the "heat wrench" (your torch) make quick work of breaking that rust bond on the blade?
correct me if i'm wrong -- assuming the name plates are still readable, you should be able to get the voltage and capacitor info on both the motor and compressor, right? edit: when i say voltage , i mean the capacitor voltage (370 or 440 vac)
@@rogerlague1520 yes -- that's why i was careful to mention "assuming the name plates are still readable".
I run into this alot. I just grab my phone, google the model # of the condenser, and i get the info for the capacitor.
can you post where you bought the nut driver?
poor mr Grinch. Couldn't handle the pressure. haha
Question, should the capacitor have been upside down in the unit? Could that have been why it went bad?
The fan lock up would have cooked it. But based on the rust it was ready to go soon.
Orientation of a capacitor does not matter, ventilation matters and improper wiring will fry it instantly.
Gotta watch out for them hwonats!
Never seen capacitor mounted upside down. Usually, the terminals are on top, so it can better dissipate heat between the voided space between the oil and terminals.
Orientation will not affect a capacitor, lack of ventilation will.
@@potatolew4495 Agreed, every orientation but upside down. If the run capacitor soft spot, or terminal were to blow, you want it to blow from the top, not below where it melts components below it. It will work upside, but will shorten the life expectancy. No manufacturer mounts the run capacitor upside down.
@@jammin345 The orientation makes no difference to lifespan, caps are designed to work in any orientation. Many caps are mounted upside down, especially on fans and inducer motors. They are oriented terminals up in a condenser because it makes assembly easier and faster than having them upside down, and time is money on the assembly line.
My Amana (Goodman) is 13 years old and still running great. Nice video
That AC needs alot more than a clean with the garden hose lol
Wondering what caused the fins to fall off that corner...
Steve didn't mention what mighta caused that, did he? L O L
Poor Mr Grinch! 🙁
I was wondering how long do those capacitors typically last, and are there certain replacement brands that a better than others?
A good capacitor will last about 10 years.
I've seen them last over 15 years.
I only use Turbo 200 capacitors. They are universal. I carry 5 of those instead of a box full of random sizes
I only ran it like that for a couple weeks...
I always write date on new cap and size next to it
Miss Molly not going to be happy that Mr Grinch bit the dust. Oh well.....
6:18 at the bottom right of the unit, its sparking. Whats up with that?
She’s a helicopter mamma!
It’s almost like it’s her property and can go where she wants.
It's either time for a new coil or a new AC
I gotta have an electrician work on my outside unit, people who installed the old unit, a Moncrief branded Nordyne with a Bristol, tapped the condenser power right off the meter, only protection is the 50A disconnect breaker, when we bought the house it was a gas n go special, condenser coil leaked like a sieve so we replaced it with a Goodman 13 SEER, not a bad unit I will say, better than the shit they made 15-20 years ago
8:56 80 degrees !!! LOL try 124 in Laughlin !
Accidentally hit the dislike button instead of like. If you get any feedback by me accidentally hitting the dislike button please ignore it. Love all of your videos man.
a few weeks lol she is a smart one I guess
Had a 11 year old R410a empty on arrival. Dog pissed on coil and ate through copper
When you're crossing the street do you ever yell out hey I'm walking here?
R.I.P Mr. Grinch 😞
RIP Mr. Grinch
Mr Grinch, RIP.. Lol
RIP Crusty Grinch
🍺👍
Stay safe.
Retired(werk'n) keyboard super tech.
Wear your safety glasses.
Come on Steve he just wanted to see how ya doin
$500 Reward for Mr. Grinch!
Hope some one finds Mr. Grinch for Molly,then Return him ,Mr. Grinch needs to go back home and stop Sky diving.
he found it
@@markpowell1031 yup, i seen that, as he had a video the following day on the find, got lucky as well.
mr grinch walked the plank
