Nice job finding those chewed wires plus dealing with helicopter customer. Seemed nice enough just hard to focus on the task at hand with him sharing his life history.
I like your reset fuse. I made a similar one years ago for working on servo drives. When special fuses cost 15 dollars each and worse yet is when you have no more.
Hey fun fact. manufacturing is actually making wires now adays out of food grade plastic, thats why animals are always chewing up wiring. the ones that arent food grade are double the price. and we as techs think nothing of it! Is it really worth the head aches of cheaping out on wiring,
Have you ever tried using the short pro tool? It trips if you have a short and you get a red light as long as you have a short and goes out when the short is cleared without having to be resetting the circuit breaker. Once the repair is made reset the short pro and everything is back to normal.
Guy is lucky you don't have to crawl under house and run new wire because his pocket would be hurtin. I bet it's nasty under there and low. 😨 sucks if a call back and you see more chewing under the house. That's happened to me before.
Yep. Engineers might know quiet a bit, just never seen one prove it in the real world yet. I get a kick out of it when my technical college degree whips a university degree.
At least the engineer did ruled out one thing though by pressing the contractor, the unit did worked, it was just not turning on, due to the reason that you discovered there.
I can't stand it when customers treat you like an internet chat room while you're trying to work. That and asking if you've found anything every time you walk past them. I just want to scream if I find anything you'll be the first person I tell because you'll be giving me money to fix it!

Good catch right there! It totally breaks my concentration every time a customer is asking about things before the problem is found.
Your videos are so appreciated. Thanks for being willing to record. Love the camera view too.
Those small crimp connectors would work really well in that situation. Thanks for the vid.
Good find . Those can be tough to find.

Charge him extra for the engineer touching it
I liked when he was putting the engineer down for not finding the blown fuse he zapped himself. Theres a lesson there somewhere.
@@officerkrupke4966 good thing it was only 24v
Good find and good troubleshooting ...
Thanks
Seems like a really nice customer

Homeowners that watch these videos... Spread the word to friends and family. Leave the techs alone!! They will ask questions if they need too..
Good job
I had a similar issue 2 years ago and found it.
Boa tarde o modelo das máquinas todas elas tem o mesmo tipo de placa? Ou os modelos das placas são diferentes? Parabéns

🚁... Gotta love'em lol
Nice job and video
I do the same thing. Snag em out of old units great for testing
Our stuffit with steel wool they can't chew through that without cutting there mouth up
The bill should go up every time he interrupts you for the millionth time

Me too. I know how likely it is that whatever did this will return if something isn’t done.
Might be a dumb question, but where is the 240 volts from the transformer coming from?

Damn rats are destructive!
I love that tool bag. Can you provide a link so I could buy myself one of those?

What we do is cut a metal hanger the depth of the base and run it around the bottom of the unit so no rodents can get in through the holes.
1/2 inch black wire loom tubing. 100 ft. costs less than 20 bucks. Split would be easiest fix to install over tstat wiring.
You don’t show it but I bet these guys who tell you their life story while you’re working kills you.
What camera do you use for vids 🤔
GoPro Hero8 Black.

chicken wire should do he should get a cat
What's that band you got on your arm if you don't mind me asking?
I have tendinitis in my elbow, that’s supposed to help with the pain
@@HVACGUY I see. I hope it's working for you! Have a good day!
🚁
Maybe the rodent is an engineer also?
😃🤔😆😂🤣

Stay safe .
Retired(werk'n) keyboard super tech.
Wear your safety glasses.
New tech here. Really appreciate your videos. Did it pop on the compressor wire? If so how did you determine thermostat wire?
The fuse was blown and the low voltage thermostat wire is tied to the fuse
Did this trip at all for you while you were testing the circuits. Did you just find the short visually ?
Do you think that unit has been running with no trap on the drain since install
Don’t know, I guess I didn’t see it.
🚁
What do you mean” Trying to look for a fuse” either ur looking for or not? There no in between lol
Never seen 24 volts bite like that. Then I usually don't touch it hot
Yeh, it got me.
@@HVACGUY Probably because you were sitting on the ground
More of a scare. Doesnt really hurt, just catches u off guard
Spray foam, I don't think the rodent like the chemical make up. It works.
Well....the helicopter blades are spinning..........

Audio sucks, had to leave.
He’s outside working on an HVAC unit, what do you expect?
Talk up can't hear you
no explanation
