Might have been worth the time to check the fan and compressor amp draw to confirm the wire terminal(s) at fault. Most would have replaced that capacitor as well and the orange wire.
I do like his mentality. Just replace and go. If it happens again then dig deeper
@@WeatherNut27 I would prefer a more permanent fix after checking amps and thermal build up. there has to be a good reason why it cooked in the first place. And callbacks are a ding on ones reputation.
He must have done all the checks off camera. If he didn’t then the problem will still be there and he would have to come back for free as warranty so I really doubt he left without checking the amps draw and the cap values
@@Nighthawke70A loose connection will do that as Amps will ramp up rapidly and heat will melt the wire
@@pl-mn2roMight have but it did not show up in his editing etc. resulting in the opposite impression.
Steve is one of the good ones 👍! Never tries to sell the homeowner something he can easily fix to maximize his profit. So many freakin crooks out here. 😡
100% correct on the crooks. Had my handler changed out a few months ago because of a leaking coil. Noticed the guy opening up my condenser unit outside. Didn't think much of it, next day compressor would not start. Opened up the panel and saw burnt wire from the cap like this video. Noticed the terminal was loose to it. I suspected he loosened it to cause melt down because he was pissed I didn't want to replace the condenser unit also. Only 5 years old. Ran a new wire and its up and running. Gonna keep a close eye on some of them.
@@TheNicko773 lucky you caught it. Many of these crooks go thru their day sabotaging units(looking for a call back) and stealing good parts to put in other unit and charge as new. 😡
Hmmm, what might have caused the burnt wires? Did we miss something not shown, like testing the amp draw on the fan?
Rain, Humidity?
Nice vid Steve. Surprised that you did not check the capacitor as much burning that went on in there. Good fix.
But why did they burn?
Power surges, high amps and heat for a number of reasons, chYna parts, MexiCAN parts, all others besides USA parts, ect ect.
Most likely a bad connection at the terminal, the crimp or a loose female to male spade. Once the red wire got hot enough, the insulation starts to flame and that burned the other wires above it, probably.
Cap. Couldn't take the capacity...
@@danwesten2771 parts ship from China to mexico...lol
I would have changed the dual start capacitor...hate call backs !
Bad cap, loose cap jiggling around, loose spade connection, rodent or high amps. More than likely a loose spade or cap bouncing around. Nice job Steven, not as easy as just a bad cap but close mama!
That was easy money Steve the way I like them
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Good job, Steve! If you ever need advice on how to do your job, the comment section is rich with advice... 🤣
I'm all negative on 'eco toilets', in past posts, my over flow tube is only 5" (hahaha-mamma). My point is You don't know until you get into it and figure it out! There's at least 3" more in tank before switch mechanism. I'm picking a new longer one up soon! drain and pull the tank.
Keep the AC videos coming Steve 🛠️👍
Nice quick-fix, but what was the parameter for this fix n run? Cheapskates, or someone who simply could not afford anything more? I'd be cautioning them to budget for either a replacement central, or go window shakers.
Little gundy…that’s all she needed.
Heating Season coming. Hang in there. My A.C. guy in Florida is swamped!
It's the capacitor...mama !!
Hello Steve
Cookin’ With Steve brought to you by American Standard. 👍👍
Techs paid on commission would have sold a surge protector
Good repair Steve
@Balticblue93 I know what caused the issue..... loose terminals on the run capacitor. That's how Steve operates. I gave Steve a good reply if he does better repair I give him great repair. I know he doesn't give a shyt on repairs half of the time.
Great Video. Good Job. Thank you for sharing
I had already seen the video Steve, but forgot to comment! Quick fix, remain safe and keep the video's coming ☝️ 😊🎉
She had some flam age! Another unit up and running.
Does anyone knows if dielectric grease is necessary on those spade connections?
Spade terminals on capacitor? I've never seen dielectric grease used on them..
Why did the wires burn like that Steve??? Has it a short somewhere?
hello steve from leak master plumbing in ct
He probably did check the capacitor but just didn't include it in the video. Good work, Steve.
What is generally the primary reason wires burn up?
DEW
As You say She's a Crusty 1 Mr. GRINCH.
I like that he didnt even question why they got burnt up. Just replace and check. Maybe a mouse chewed on it
What’s the typical gauge wire size on the compressor and fan motor
I was always curious myself. I think 16ga stranded.
Hard to stop an American Standard.
What caused the wires to burn up is it going to do it again
Good job Steve.
Was the Potential relay opening up?
Hello Steve!
Steve! Next Level...
Possibly partially shorted fan motor windings - check current draw to nameplate current? May burn again. Also check cap…..
those push on connectors are junk. things made in the the last 20 plus years are 1000 % junk. thanks big business.
Try the connectors from 3M... Nice quality...
Haha... Keep up the GREAT work Steve!
You can't stop a train, but you sure can stop a Trane!
is there a way to generally tell if you have full charge of freon like by how hot air is coming out of unit or something without having to hook up gauges?
Watch a few of his AC videos this month and you will see his quick check technique!
Howdy Steve and Molly
She’s a smoka mumma
Good Afternoon Steve!
Can't make this shit up steve
Good morning Steve how are you
Theres so many more youtube creators that do way better jobs... next
Looks a little queea
She’s a little crispy mama.
- First!
Seriously? You sound too young to be watching or understanding this video
