Central AC Not Working - Compressor Not Turning On - Burnt Terminal & Wire on Capacitor Replaced
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This client we serviced for the 1st time about 2 months ago, if you recall, bought his own R410A on eBay. We are back, this time for a compressor not turning on. Upon startup you can hear the compressor briefly humming.
To crimp the new connector on the wire I used the Klein ratcheting crimping tool. Available here:

Great repair as always, just a small thing for next time. Those terminal connectors are designed to be crimped in one way, basically parallel to the terminal not sideways. Great job as always!
Best HVAC Chanel, consistent good content. And you're an entertaining guy to watch
👍
Mike...Mike, the terminal crimpers are designer to work only in one direction, parallel to the spade terminal (preferably center pin in spade seam) center. not perpendicular. See 06:02 of video. A little tug test would be good also. :)
Nice service call! Happy Father's Day. It's hot here in Jersey today.
Be sure to check the crimping adjustment. When I got mine, had to increase two notches to get a real good bite on the connector. Wonderful tool. I love that the ratchet allows loading the connector just right, and then introduce the wire, and crimp.
The fans on those units are ecm they take a little bit to turn on. Normal operation. Nice vid keep them coming!
The problem with the outdoor fan motor not coming on that one time had to do with a small molex plug. They had issues with those, usually the yellow wire in the corner of the plug. When you wiggled it around a little looking at the "alien spider nest" it probably lost connection between the two pins. I've repaired several of those by pushing the wire back in and then adding a drop of super glue into the hole of the molex so the wire can't move. Either that or just eliminating the molex plug entirely and splicing the wires together. You can usually see a small blackened or burnt spot inside the molex where the bad connection has been getting hot. 😎👍
Interesting. I looks like the motor kicks back on the last start up before starting up in the opposite direction. That could happen if a winding had the resistance from a bad connection in series with it so it created the magnetic field late compared to the others, I'd think.
@@jkbrown5496 those ECM style motors usually go in the opposite direction just briefly for a second before they start up in the correct direction.
Great video and the viewers learned about a different kind of condenser fan motor! That capacitor didn't need testing you could see it was toast! Another awesome residence and you get paid to work there Mikey pipes! Gotta love it!
Good morning Mikey Pipes
Hello from the great state of Michigan
Nothing is wrong with the fan. It’s a designed to have a delay.
Had to adjust mine. Didn't always make the crimp tight enough, but there is an adjustment wheel on it. Best 40 bucks I ever spent in my life. Very little straining when crimping.
@@PipeDoctor Depends on the connector. I use the heat shrink connectors and they're a bit smaller than the non heat shrink type.
I dread showing up to a no a/c call and seeing these guys.... also hate taking them apart to clean them, those Christmas tree coils catch everything in the air so they’re always caked
Mike, It would have been interesting to do a captaincy test on the old cap ???? the compound crimpers that Klein puts there name on you can change the dies and do coax cable and spark plug cable ends , ect,ect I found Milwaukee makes the best wire stripers by far . Stay well Pete M
I haven't tried this type before, just watching it
This morning my first call was a bad capacitor.... It's a good feeling... Fast job, 😁
If this becomes a regular client, I'd switch the Y and the common on the contactor to remove the low voltage short risk when removing the capacitor.
those ratcheting crimpers are great -- the only problem i've seen is some of the connectors don't like the wide crimp that the crimper gives -- either you need to use both arms for enough force to get it to crimp, or it will squeeze the metal connector right out of the insulated/plastic "boot". guess what i'm saying is i keep both the ratcheting crimper and the narrow "traditional" crimper. same thing with the automatic wire stripper -- great except for when you dont have enough wire slack to grab on to it.
Mikey pipes how u doin ? Lol anyway the Klein crimper when you crimp hold it ratchet handle facing down and put the connector flat the way the spade crimp is flat then crimp much easier and crimp is flat like the connector not sure if I said that clear enough but hopefully anyway keep up the good work
Just got back from a call homeowner took off fan to clean and didn't put the conduit back on the fan and water got on the contactor and corroded all the terminals and spades on cap. He wasn't to happy when I said $850 for the repair on a 2 year old unit we installed.
I see your using a start or run capacitor, can I use a dual capacitor with the same specifications? And if so, where does that orange wire go to (Fan or Herm)?
and the plastic of the crimper is supposted då be heated upp so it crimped of the cable, im swedish and cant spell all corrrect, hope you understand
you have to put the crimper in right place in the tool. so it crimps it correctly. but i love your channel
Yes, that is a mud dauber nest. It's a type of wasp that's usually bluish in color and not aggressive...just a nuisance.
Yup u are right!!
Well done!
I bet whoever changed that capacitor last didn't squeeze the terminals.
Those plastic plugs on the ECM motors are suspect. I constantly cut them out and wire nut the wires together due to poor connections. Might be the problem there, also they typically have a 5+ second time delay
need that tool the crimp tool cool
I like to double crimp my terminals
Tell Mike to use leverage on the cap it will come off easy or a flat head to lift the terminal up and also I take off the mounts from the old unit for different size caps
This was made before I saw the new wire lmao
Mud Dauber wasp nest?
Good little vid Mikey ...
Mikey those fans on those Trane units take a couple seconds to turn on. I would bet Mike didn't have the disconnect in all the way on one side.
I think that one foxed you.😉 Did that guy (customer) get his subsidence sorted (drain washing out and undermining the patio?
A good technician is observant of his surroundings not all fan motors need a capacitor
Another good one👍
I am from Toronto mississauga
haha just saw fan motor. Bad fan motor for sure. Good deal because 410 a is $300 a jug now. Supply told its because of new tariff of some 32 kind that china is abusing. Bought 410a yesterday for $313
Are ecm motors supposed to start up and move backwards before running? It looks like your motor tried to go to the opposite direction at first every time you put the disconnect in
interesting you offer psc motor due to fact it will decrease the efficiency....I made my mind up years ago to just install factory oem outdoor motors. I refuse to cut shafts because its f-ing bullsht. lol Indoor motor I dont mind the universal. They wanna choose a guy that will install a crappy universal then they dont really care about me anyway so i dont care to lose them. I am lucky to live in a well populated city and stay busy enough or I might have to put those things in to make a living.
I noticed mike is wearing 5.11 pants. How do you like those? I wear them for work too and they’re awesome !
You didn't show a voltage check under load, just an amperage check. Could the contactor be intermittent and that would explain the burned wires due to a low voltage event. Just saying!
if you heated it upp its scrims or what, its get smaller and the water dont reach the contact.
Is it just me when the power was turned on the fan went backwards before it went forwards. To me this doesn't seem normal or is it normal for these electronic fans?
hey Mikey i need some good work shoes. I see yours black and look like they can handle. What kind are they?
It's great when it's just a capacitor...
Nice!
Time delay on ecm motor
How long does it take a capacitor to build up its charge?
I miss Zilla.
Amazing homeowner said he purchased 410A on Amazon so why do I have to be EPA certified the industry is a joke you can be a gynecologist take a 1/2 day course and get your EPA
they have to sign/agree to only be purchasing it for resale as factory sealed containers.
I've got De Ja Vue here wasn't you and zilla there in another video with the same thing?
@@PipeDoctor thought it was De ja Vue sorry mikey love the videos and navien is sold here in the UK as well just for your information.
mike the odemon LOL
Im in Toronto Canada.. lol
I would rather have something more simple, more reliable and cheaper to buy. Did the wire burn up due to bad weak connections?
Condensers look a little close
Great job mike and mike! What you call that double milwaukee nut driver? Saw it in one of your other videos and I’ll be damned if i can find one! Nice work men!
It's not made by Milwaukee. www.amazon.com/dp/B07KX4JKJN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_SWXPER6YEKA15AG0GH0V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

@@BrickTop900 thank you sir!

Fan could have been out on internal thermo ( replace fan motor
when are you changing out nancy pelosi's blower motor?

It's an eem motor.
👍👍👍

When u ask a customer to turn down the temperature, I wonder if u should just say “... turn the thermostat to 70.”
That way, it’s clear to people who might not know much.
What if the temperature in the house is 68?
@@tommyhummer2762 .. then their AC would be working fine!
