HOW TO REPLACE A SUBMERSIBLE WELL PUMP. STEP BY STEP
Great video, gave me the confidence I needed to tackle this project. Cost me $147 in a replacement spring kit and took us about a hour to do the work. I counted the number of turns to remove the one spring that did not break, and it was 27. We 1st tried 29 turns but got an excessive effort alarm when trying to close the garage with the opener. We backed off 2 turns to 27 and everything works great. Thanks again Alex for this tutorial 🤙🏽
What size wire is this 14 or 12 gauge?
Please a one for a 4 prong
Man, I hate when people don't understand how to use post mix. Then they go and make a YT video, spreading the misinformation. Sheesh.
Thanks for adding the necessary details to supplement the inadequate instructions on the package for the ring.
Thx u..worked holding the filter button..
😃Perfect! Thanks so much. Never considered that the ignitor could be glowing and still not have enough heat to trip the on the gas valves. Time to find the parts now. Excellent presentation and explanation. Thanks much again,.
My pleasure. Remember ignitors are very fragile. FYI I have tons of videos on speed queen washers and dryers. Please dont forget to like and subscribe
is using electrical tape wise? If it gets wet and starts to break off, won't it clog the pump impeller?
My 10 years old cartridges will not budge!!!
LOL. Time to get another faucet. Keep trying!!
Too much work, how much do you charge for it?
Yes It is a lot of work. I dont do that for the public. If I did about 400-600 labor
At the end, it did not fit gap at the top of the face plate, no thanks
Very good job, a question why the electric cable between the two outlets is so long. Thanks for the video
because cutting EMT is a pain and he probably had this length, also it allows better serviceability in the future.
Jus preparing for the future Thanks brother
Nicely done. It’s not easy to get such good close ups, with the right camera angles and still do the job well. But you did it. Professional job once again. Thanks.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate it . You guys see only a few minutes of nice clean footage. But I swore a few times. I hit my head a couple times. Also I barely fit through the under the sink door. I had to go in and out I ran out of battery. My coo-worker making a lot of noise....... but it was fun . Now I can edit videos super fast. Thank you so m much for your support. What kind of grounding system you have in your house? Metal conduit or Rommex?
@alexthehandyman3494 Believe me. I know how hard it is to make good videos. I just had to replace a 30 year-old casement window sash after my mower threw a rock into it. I've got a perfect video of the back of my hands and head. Oh and when I moved the camera it was in the way and I couldn't get the window back onto the tracks. You succeeded in making the video look great. My house I've got Romex but in the office building where I work it's got the mc cable (as well as my home garage) It's a real pain to cut and work with. Thanks again for the videos!
This is amazing. Where are you located do you do repairs like would like to hire you to repair my boiler too.
your depth gage is right there on the side of the jig?
Yes it is. I didn't know . Thanks for your comment

Did you use different wax or the one that comes with the toilet??
HELLO I used a different one. Thicker and taller with no core reinforcement. #10 from Menards or Home Depot. However the one that comes with is perfectly fine. Thanks.
@@alexthehandyman3494 thanks
do you have a video to trouble shoot speed queen washer commercial card is not reading
I’m dealing with having to replace this relic right now along with my 20 year old AC condenser. Same set up, no heating just AC. l’m getting quotes of $4k-$6 for the condenser plus another $$3k-$6k to change out the ceiling mounted fan coil. So far two quotes are $9.3k and $10k. Absolute insanity, I had no clue how much this type of set up costs. If you have this definitely keep up the maintenance because you’re on borrowed time and it’s gonna be a fortune to replace.
Great video tutorial. So these new condensers don’t come pre-charge with any refrigerant?
Hello Yes they do. This one in particular is 5 years old and it lost its refrigerant through a leaky valve.
You explain so well thank you
Tanks
Great video. Thank you for sharing
thank you so much . Blessings!!
So you ran the evacuation pump with the hoses reversed? It pulled from the tank and spit it into the low side of the system? I’ve never seen that before. Well done. So you can pull down to 200 microns with just an evacuation pump? I saw a dedicated vacuum pump there. You didn’t use that? Why do most guys have both then? Did it just take longer? Thanks. Great vid.
Morning Richard, Yes the recovery machine doesn't know what is transferring to. It is a device to transfer refrigerant (recover ) from one place to another. From the condenser through the recovery machine to the tank. In this case is going from the tank through the recovery machine to the condenser. It is important to use dedicated hoses to recover and different hoses to vacuum. Vacuum hoses need to be clean to pull an easier vacuum. Yes the vacuum pulled easily to 200 microns. It took me 5 min. It is important to mention that on the vacuum I used thicker hoses and no restrictions. When using regular 1/4 houses with cores and core depressors it can take easily 20-30 minutes. Thanks you so much for your support!!!
@alexthehandyman3494 Thanks for the boatload of info! I have a cheap vacuum pump I've used for my car But always wanted an inexpensive recovery machine. Maybe, just maybe. Thanks again
thank you so much! saved $300 and time. I just changed the coils and works greatly. Thank you again!
My pleasure. Thank you. Don’t forget to like the video. FYI I have a couple dozen videos on SPEED QUEEN
i get an air bubble in my toilet during the flush. Alex, do I have to change the flush valve seal in order to get rid of that?
is it supposed to bubble just before the water goes down the toilet? Does anybody else have a problem with this model?
As a homeowner, it’s a lot of expensive stuff, even though I got my 608 certification so I can take care of my own two R22 old systems. Each appion is $70, the recovery machine is $500 to $1000, the scale, the recovery tank, the turbo torch and tanks, vacuum pump, even the large vacuum hoses are $60 each. Forget about something like a digital manifold. Big initial investment! That’s before the refrigerant! I spent almost $800 for 30# of R22. Thanks for sharing your knowledge- I should have gone into HVAC. I find it interesting. But you do it all.
YEAP. As a home owner it doesn't make sense. Why did you get your 608 certification? Wanted to work on Hvac for money. Or just for fun? Greetings!
@@alexthehandyman3494 it almost makes sense, since r22 is so expensive if I call someone. So my house was built in 89. We’ve lived in it 13 years. I have two original Armstrong air R22 units and my original peerless oil boiler. I service them all. The AC I’ve never let anyone touch, since it’s so old and has worked fine. I’ve never even put gauges on it. A few capacitors over the years, a condenser fan or two, and maybe an air handler transformer. About 5 years ago I bought 5# of R22 on eBay. Last summer for the first time ever it wasn’t blowing cold. I studied and took and passed the 608 universal so I could check the pressure and add the refrigerant myself. Small leak in one of the schrader valves on the high side. I added some r22 until the superheat was where it should be (piston), but didn’t change the core yet. I bought 2 of the valve stem removers but I’m afraid since the nylog I put on it seemed to stop the leak. It’s been fine this year after sitting all winter. Plus, I wanted to buy some more r22 just in case. The reality is where I live if anyone came to my house to do any service on the AC, I’d be left with a bill for 50k to replace both units. I love .r22 and the piston. Don’t want to change it unless I must. Thanks for the videos. I always learn a lot. Edit. Oh, and I already had to change the condensate pan in my attic once. It was rusted through. I did it without pumping down my system. If it ever happens again, I will have options, and maybe do it the right way, recover, fix and recharge. Couldn’t do that last time.
I like the way you explain the process step by step. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Thank you so much !!!
Thank you 🙏
Great video !!
Excelente dia espero me puedas ayudar soy de la ciudad de México y tengo una lavadora speed Queen la falla que hace es que al drenar el agua empieza a tronar en tu experiencia crees que sea la hélice y la polea que ya se encuentra desgastadas
I agree. I've watched the other ones where they talk and talk, innecessarily. YOURS is short and sweet. And to the point, you can pause it and watch what to do. I am a 57-year-old woman and I feel like a plumber. Yay Me and Yay you.
i a certified electrician and engineer, a clogged filter will not raise the circuit load for the type of window unit in the video, the efficiency will be lowered but it will not "do more work" the thermostat will simply run the compressor longer (not harder)to achieve the same temperature
Excellent video! Exactly the RUclips training I needed.
First of all the line is not installed correctly, it is not insulated, what happened to trip over it?
You can use them ,but they will leak... That is the real answer.
That is the craziest line set installation .....definetly some hack jobs
The refrigeration line set is not install professionnely, it looks really bad. It looks like spider webs. 😂
Hello. I agree with you. 20-25 yrs old line sets .
They don’t want to replace them. It will be a few grand more . $$$$$
Good video. You charging with r22? With Goodmans, any length longer than 35ft I usually add a hard start to help the compressor.
Yes 22. This property bought 30 condensers with( 22)10 yrs ago. They are stuck with them. I guess when these new batch fail or lose refrigerant then we ll convert them with a newer refrigerant. Thanks for the hard start kit. That’s a good idea. Thanks for the tip.
My filter button won’t turn on.. idk how to get on I press the button but it won’t go back on. Do I need to press it for atleast 3 seconds?
good job
Thank you so much!1
well done
I appreciate it!!
thankyouuu
