I built my wire bucket from all the decommissioned units I took out. I pull all the wires out and save them.
A master of your trade. Impressive. I had to rewire a boiler the other day because some handyman added an ignition module and a transformer. It was a standing pilot with a thermal couple and they thought they could light the thermalcouple through the Spark. I’m not going to lie I did look at that wiring diagram a few times.
It's amazing some of the rigging they come up with. What's really freaky is when it works. lol
@@jthonn Yeah when I looked up the model numbers I was like this does not take an ignition module. Lol. Trying to light a thermal couple with a spark igniter. We definitely see some crazy stuff
that's funny, half a conversion to intermittent pilot. only missing the gas valve, flame sense pilot assembly, etc. may as well add some rollout protection and more safeties while at it.
that has me recalling everyone gutting the electronic ignition "junk" and replacing them with standing pilot setups in the 1990's. those would have been 1980's units that had failures.
6:23 - Rufus with Chaka Khan. LOVE that song, every time it comes on the radio I crank it up! It's a nice little earworm, every time you hum it I smile a little because it's stuck in my head too.
Another fine job done by one of the best in the business!
Remember these 2 words "Job Security". Good job .👏
It’s amazing how things cascade in problems. Auburn will be playing that song for the rest of the season. 😂
Great job Curtis. Sounded like still had a clicking sound some where around the condenser fan.
I heard it too, but didn't sound harmful, I hope.
Thats residule water hitting the blade
Wow. Great work! You rock, sir!
Oh my gosh, great discripton,ne very ending,and then The condenser fan motor noise,made me want to cry 😭 great job sir unfortunately there are way to many guys that would have never did all that work,, sales men ... Not mechanics like yourself
.
also i enjoy seeing the residentail side of hvac repair i do nothing but walk in coolers and freezers
I have those same Klein needle nosed pliers and use the heck out of em ... Good troubleshooting ... Thx for sharing ...
War eagle ! Out here catching calls in the Florida winter ! Yeah right . Like watching you do exactly what I do everyday and 60 hrs a week
Great job! People out my way usually quote new system.
"As long as you are already here" were the most dreaded words that I have ever heard.
Amen, brother
😀"...All ya gotta do"
😂😂😂
If you need to pressure wash those blower wheels, I always do it before I take the old motor out. You can get those things turning so fast they sound like a jet starting up..
Is that what the helmet's for?
@@549BR 🤣
I can relate to this so much. Pretty much exactly how my day went. Happy Monday 😵💫
Good fix. A weak cap will also cause or contribute to the relay points arking out.
Curtis, I am sure glad you can follow those wires.. Amazing..
Fantastic troubleshooting and repair. I used to have cascading problems on neglected RTU's on strip mall roofs and BARD unit's at cell tower sites in God forsaken mountain top locations ALL the time. Had to have a 55 gal drum of water with a motorized pump attached to clean coils out of there. No water available at those remote cell tower sites. I'm fortunate to be retired now and have to deal with all the headaches that kind of HVAC work required. Another great video Curtis! 👍🏾
A cascade of events! Well put.
Great to see all issues resolved!
These kind of calls always happen at the end of the day
At least he didn't do all that work and find the compressor was bad...
😂😂😂
Or, on the weekend.
Love Rheem heat pumps service friendly light weight
Definitely a good idea to consult with the owner before making a 2000 dollar repair
I'm sure he got the permission he needed, wish he could come do mine.
Parts and labor, 559 dollars.
Busy Job!👍🇺🇸
I was afraid you’d turn it on, and after all that, the relay would burn up again and torch all your wire work..
You sure do stay busy. Great job getting these videos out. Thanks, I do enjoy troubleshooting too.
like the video. lot of work in the heat. be careful out working in the heat.
Nicely done! Gotta love when the problems just keep coming, all you can do is fix 1 thing at a time. Keep up the good work 💪
Great video like always my friend keep them coming
Excellent video and like always video is very informative and have a good day !
I switched from watching the Dolphins to a series I am watching on Netflix thinking they would find a way to lose and then I found out the Bills killed the clock and lost. 💁🏽
A very 'well done' relay. Wonder if it is not rated correctly?
??.qwaayyt wait! are those GLOVES you're wearing? wow..and u still got fingers to put in them... smh
Great job!
Just for fun. I wish you would do a video featuring your Volkswagon. If you do, tell us about changes when the went to the Super Bug.
Good video. Would have moved the blown relay out from under the wires in case it blows up again??
It’s always the ones at the end of the day that never end
People seem to assume electric motors just last forever with no maintenance, same with capacitors- both will fail, when the sealed "lubricated for life" bearings in the motor go bad the motor burns up, and when the capacitor goes bad it can also burn the motor up or it just won't run right.
We have a Delta dust collector at the shop by the table saw that has a start and run capacitor set, I could tell something wasn't right as it seemed to take 10 seconds to start up and ran like it was on half voltage.
I opened the cover over the capacitors and one was dripping oil, had the local electrician from whom we lease part of his building from get us a new capacitor, it came a week later (had to fit in the small case, so it had to be the right one going in) it ran fine, but a few starts later it was back like before and that capacitor was leaking now! And I wasnt hearing the centrifugal switch clicking, So I pulled the motor and took it to a motor shop and a week later it came back, put it in, worked ok for a bit then the capacitor was leaking AGAIN!
Sent it back to the shop and they said the contacts on the centrifugal switch in the motor- he adjusted a little and replaced the capacitor again and that fixed it. The motor was only 7 years old!
Seen plenty of capacitors at work go bad, tempted to say just replace them every say- 2-3 or so years regardless
It looks like you have all the W/D's memorized.
Great job!! How bout the F150 lol?
You should get a Purdy brand paint brush to use as your new duster.
Is the Inficon D-Tek Stratus your go to leak detector now. Do you find it better overall than the Fieldpiece 82?
WoW that's Amazing
Lack of maintenance, toasted wires man=high amperage
Yuck what a mess that was. That relay was fried to a crisp
yep that relay is cooked did you find what caused that
Do they have 3 stages of cooling, pkg unit, window shaker and a PTAC
I have a full pail of scrap wire 👍
So I have to get new equipment soon, in florida how reliable are the new rudds 16 or 18 seer heatpumps these days
wow it never ended..
95% of technicians wouldn't even have cleaned that fan at all.
Why do you strip, twist, and then fold the stranded wire? Does folding make for a better secured connection?
Yes, more there to crimp on to
Seems like I could still hear strange can noise?
wow that thing was a train wreck..
Good thing you had on gloves or that would’ve been a nasty cut from the evap coil
You would think they would use rust proof metal in the design of systems for outside. But nooooooo what do they care!
What happened to your bigger meter
Rufus & Chaka Kahn
Why would you rewire a running system instead of looking for failed components?
So many things wrong at once!
Stuck sequencer?
Like ya scrap wire bag all my scrap wire stuffed in side door opening
Poor design they fail just like that alot. Psc and relay cures their bs.
😳😳😳😳
