Dude just take a picture. Or use wiring diagram. This is not a complicated circuit. Never lay screws or tools on top of unit. Make it as easy on yourself as you can.
I try real hard not to pull any wires from the contractor until I have the new one mounted in. Then I swap em. Just makes me more comfortable that I'm not gonna miss something.
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Adrian Leandro I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I'll pull those resetting fuses from an old rtu that's been replaced and save it for something like this. The lil popper is ok, but it can let quite a bit of current through before tripping
Testing to ground for shorted windings in a transformer will lead to inaccurate results, unless specifically checking the transformer to see if the windings are shorted to the frame of the transformer. I believe this is correct. Help me out.
What size popper do you use? 5 amp 3 amp? Most of the boards i work with use 5 amp fuses but have heard people burning transformers on the 5 amp poppers because they don’t trip fast enough.
1:57 it’s actually best if you put it on the common side of the transformer I’ve learned that because not all low voltage is grounded you might miss one 😉 good video though as all the other ones you make. Lol I gotta eat every time I see these videos it’s a habit and not a good one too lol 👍
he just rips off the wires and here I am taking off one wire at a time and reconnecting it to the new contactor hoping nothing pulls off in the process.
I started off doing the wire for wire. Many techs do it their whole career. The schematic is a map if you ever forget where a wire lands. Every wire has a load on the other end. The other day I did 2 contractors same unit. To save time I did the wire for wire. It was a unit I don't work on often and 3:30. Do whatever your comfortable. If you seen my latest video I remove a board and wire the unit using a relay. Spend time on maintenances getting more comfortable reading the schematics and tracing wires. I have been doing this since 1999. Many contactors I replaced. Some missing schematics and I wish I did wire for wire.
@@thehvachacker Can you do a short video to support your other video, replacing the board with a contactor showing a schematic to explain the wiring. This would be extremely useful for HVAC newbies or non electricians.
I have an old Bryant air handler, I don’t see a 3 amp fuse inside, no circuit board either. AC wont turn on I’m sure is shorted something . I used a jump wire to bypass the thermosthat. The A C was working before I did the bypass.
Any idea which part in the air handler I should check ? There’s no circuit board and fuse , note: the A C was working until a bypass the thermosthat . I used a paperclip and I must have contacted a wrong wire. Any idea what part to check that shorted when. I did the bypass?
Hey man I've got a question so on my electric heat circuit board it has a blown fuse so I took off all the thermostat wires put a new fuse in and it pops right away nothing's grounded and there's no low voltage short and all the thermostat wires is unhooked and it's still popping so would that be a bad board? All my voltage readings are correct
I had the same thing. My contractor coil was shorted. So check your contractor for bad coil. Also make sure you replace the fuse with the correct value. My board said 5A max. But my fuse wasn’t labeled so I replaced the fuse with a 5A. That 5A fuse didn’t blow so it burned up my transformer. The purple fuse is a 3A. Protect the transformer and use a purple 3A fuse. Don’t use a 5A fuse if it is purple. I ended up replacing the shorted contactor, burnt transformer and blown fuse to fix the issue.
As a newer tech I greatly appreciate you documenting this stuff and talking through it. Thank you sir.

No diagram completely worn out. Usually I take a photo.
Love the videos keep up the great work! Stay safe out there! I personally think your videos are educational.
Very
You don't want to wonder what will happen to the camera if you get lit up like a Christmas tree !! LOL!
You’re the greatest ! Stay safe and healthy and away from the Bat Flu !
Good quick diagnosis great job pal

Pull the contact mount bolts and slide the new 1 behind the old 1. No guessing games. Good work bro

@Adrian Leandro It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Reyansh Tomas No problem =)
Another great educational video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
👍
Great video as always. But it baffles me how tangled and messy the wiring is

The Hackster ... Doing what he do ... Good vid ...

If the transformer is grounded on one leg, then you could accurately check it to see if the windings are shorted to ground.

3 amp is better protection for the transformer. I replace the 5 amp fuse with 3 amps whenever I install a split.
@@thehvachacker thank you so much
Just replaced a transformer with in line 5amp fuse. Never blew, only glowed.

So you were saying California’s condensers are the same as Ontario’s but it hase to work longer right ?
Great great job bro keep up the good work out there 👍👍
What’s that 3 wire jumper? Did you make that?

Yes I can do a vid writing up a schematic explaining more detail of the vid where I required the air handler controls
@@thehvachacker That would be great if you can post that so I understand better
Check the coil on the contactors that's probably the problem
12:36 that's what she said
Great video again ✌️
Nice👍🏼
Good stuff 👍
You no your shit bro I would of just change the whole unit lmao

@@migosmadeira9892 it has been a while but you probably jumped the 24v to ground.
Good Shit!
Good
Most likely contactor
Kick ass
I never wore the mask. If they want the heat fixed, they better deal with it. And they did. The beauty of self employment
