Goodman Air Conditioner Runs but Not Blowing Cold
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2021
- Why is my air conditioner not cooling? Here's why your Goodman air conditioner runs but does not blow cold air. On this video I show how the repair could be as simple as a capacitor to get your Goodman air conditioner to blow cold air again.

I Really like the Way you Show steps and very clear and easy. 👍👍
Thank you
@@Honestandtruth You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
REALLY appreciate the video my brother. I installed a new capacitor yesterday turned everything back on & my fan was boomin, but still not cooling the house...until your video. I had the brown wire connected to the wrong place.
Are u in Atlanta ga I need u

0:53 “A lot of guys ask what’s the first thing you do when you approach a unit. The first thing I do is take a step forward ok? Then a step back. Then a step forward, then a step back…Next thing you know I’m cha chaing by the unit” 🤣🤣🤣. It’s humor like that that keeps my faith in humanity. That was solid gold. I was listening during the first sentence like he was really about to explain something 😂
😆🤣😂🤣😆 I love breaking up the seriousness. Thank you so much for watching FS890!
@@LexVance good video someone told me that the fan won't run when the capacitor is bad ?
@@percyflores7517 yep. If the microfarads are low for the fan, the fan won't turn on.
When you're sitting in a hot house needing information quickly, trust that cha cha bull was annoying as hell. Almost clicked off the video. I thought the initial point was about watching out for snakes or something.
@@LookAndLive1don’t be emotional. Think logically.
It’s folks like you that are a blessing to us old folks trying to live on 14,000 a year from soc sec, THANK YOU BROTHER🙏🏻😎
You're welcome Scott! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm like Scott living on a fixed income a month is hard. We do have a guy that HVAC friend. Maybe I'll call him.
About 3 years ago a technician told me my ac comp was shot. I took his word for it and let it be until we started getting record heat hear in Tacoma. I thought my Carrier unit is old but not much run time... Let's check some u tube vids and find out what might be broken. Guess what?? A $30 capacitor failed, looks like a frozen beer can bulging at the top. Well I want to thank all the AC techs that take the time to help us out. My house is cool and I can sleep tonight. Again thanks for the tutorials on trouble shooting.
Awesome! Yea, a bulging capacitor is the most common sign that it's bad. So glad you got it working! Thank you so much for watching Ron!
They get mad when they fail so they puff up
God bless you, brother. My family and I were suffering for three days and nights in Miami. AC guy we usually call said he would come help us in TWO DAYS. I found your video. Opened the panel on the outside unit, searched Amazon. $15 bucks!!! Notified that the capacitor would be delivered TOMORROW. But the damn thing was delivered about an hour after I ordered it. Installed the capacitor. House is cooling the hell down as I type this!!!
Thank you so much!
Right on! Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
This was my problem exactly. AC unit not cooling for 2-3 days, was about to bring the HVAC guy over and then I stumbled upon this video. Red wire leading to capacitor corroded. Excellent content, turned a $200 service call into $10 at the hardware store. A day before the outside temp went into the 90's.
Awesome, nice fix Jake! Thank you so much for watching!
Same thing happened to my Goodman!
Im trying to fix my ac any help?
Same here. I live in an apartment here in Texas. I'm getting impatient I wanna fix it myseld
Most AC guys will just tell you that you need a brand new unit and make easy $6000
Great video. I’m a homeowner and I SO admire your guys who keep things working. You don’t get enough credit!
Thank you so much for watching Edward!
110° +humidity out here in Central Texas today. Hottest day of the year. 2 young boys, prego wife and it’s a sunday. boy your really saved my ass. Thank you 💪
Nice fix, James! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for taking the time to post.. It’s guys like you that make us rookies look smart..! Keep them coming.
Right on Dan! Thank you so much for watching!
I really appreciate your philosophy of thinking about what you can do to help out the next tech that ends up working on that unit ( writing the date and rating of the capacitor).
Thank you so much for watching Wyatt!
@@LexVance Just to echo what the other person said. Thank you for thinking about the new folks with little to no experience.
Wow, out of all the videos I have seen, You were the first that showed how to discharge it where the capacitor was still on the unit. You rock and thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching NRHTX!
Lex, thanks for your video! Since we live in a rural area, our home warranty company told us we had to find out own AC repair company. None of the companies in the area we're willing to deal with home warranty, so kind of our our own to figure it out. I watched your video and appreciate the step by step instructions, and we are all good now after replacing the capacitor.
Nice fix Mark! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks Lex! Another day, more learning for me. Have a great day, Lex!
Thank you so much for watching Man Time!
Hi Lex ,
You always make it look easy .
Nice job!
Thank you so much for watching J L!
Thank you for this video, this was exactly the problem with my Goodman and thanks to you (and ACE hardware) we’re blowing ice cold air the same day I realized I had a problem.
Awesome! Nice fix Sean! Thank you so much for watching!
Great video, very thorough! Thanks!
I have an 8 year old GMC which I think is basically the same crappy thing as Goodman. First video that popped up on RUclips. Thanks for saving me a ton of money!
Right on! The unit in the video is a Goodman GMC. Good call! Thank you so much for watching!
@@LexVance thank you! Didn't really have the cash for a service e call.
Hello, Mr. Vance: Thank you for the excellent guidance! Your instruction was spot on and solved our A/C issue!
Awesome! I love hearing that. Thank you so much for watching Charles!
Thank you for Midnight diagnostic/repair help!! My outside unit wasn't on and used your video to help me find out that a Snake lost the battle with fan motor.. tripped the breaker...
Yikes! 😬 Thank you so much for watching Stephen!
Thanks Lex! Quick & easy diag thanks to your video..This saved us time, money, and most importantly from the heat! It’s been in the 90’s all week here in VA!
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Philip!
Awesome mate!
Struggled in the heat last night and this 6 min video and $16.95 for the part fixed it.
Appreciate it so much!!
Nice fix! Thank you so much for watching!
This video saved the day at my house. Thank you!
Awesome! You're welcome devendati!
Awesome tutorial Vance! I was able to TS my unit with this and fix it! My Home Warranty Company was not able to get ANY contractor out for 3 days minimum! Its been 118 degrees here in Phoenix! My family appreciates you!
Awesome! So glad I could help! Thank you so much for watching Patrick!
Quit being cheap pay someone to come out and fix. Home warranty companies dont wanna come out. No $$ in it gor yhem thsts y you grt pushed 3 days out
@@javiercruz2241 Not being cheap. I was able to fix the issue myself within an hour of tracking down the part, with the aid of this video. If its summertime in Phoenix, you will not find an AC repairman available for days as they are swamped. You cannot wait days for an HVAC company when its 120 degrees out.
@@javiercruz2241 Go back to Mexico. We dont need your opinion so F O
Yeah right now have heat wave in San Antonio Tx and heat index at 105-115 degrees. Just went out our AC. Just blowing warm air. Capacitor last time it only cost $15
When I saw the cap list I was freaking out…thank you so much. 👍👍👍
You're welcome Park! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you my brotha. We got screwed over last year paying more than i had like to having freon pumped. Both the insurance and the ac guy charged us and i want to say it was between 100 to 200 all together. Times are getting tough between covid and texas screwing us from the last winter stormS. I told my wife to hold on calling someone because i know what some companies do for the those who 'dont know how to' or 'dont know what to do' i know because i have been there working for a greedy uncle.
All the arrows there. And i have 2 units the are the exact same i pulled the capacitors and switched them. And now i know what needs fixed and i saved alot of money in these hard time.
I dont want companies going out of business but self self-sufficiency saves our selves
I have the exact same Goodman unit at my house. When the AC went out I had enough experience from my father, who was trained in AC repair and passed on some basic repairs, the first thing I did was to look at the capacitor. Mine was very easy because the capacitor was bowed at the top. Went and picked up a new capacitor, installed it and everything is now working properly. Almost identical to your video except for all that grass around the AC unit. They need to clean that up.
Thank you so much for watching Mark!
Where can I buy a new capacitor? This video was SOOO helpful!! It’s going to save me sooo much money! Can’t thank you enough and thanks for adding the humor too! :)
Too many pine needles; they're very acidic and can corrode copper tubing!
Thanks for sharing on your on call.. God bless brother
Thank you so much for watching Rudy!
Thank you!!!! This fixed my Goodman gsx14. Super easy fix, affordable part was able to be overnighted. About to hit a heat wave with animals in GA so this was a life saver!!!!
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
You are AWESOME.. ac was blowing only hot air. Had no reading on the meter from the cap. Bought one for 8$ and am forever grateful to you. Thanks for saving me hundreds.
Awesome! You're welcome thrax! Thank you so much for watching!
From a former Maintenance mechanic at an old age home, I once pulled an am/fm radio from a toilet and replaced it with one from my locker, carried it around grounds all day on the end of my auger and told everyone it was still playing when I fished it out. You should have at least 100,000 subscribers. Stay safe and keep em coming.
👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching John!
Hi Lex; in order to perform a good diagnostic, new guys out there would like to see how you wire an air handler; they want to know how each component its conected, can you spare some time and elaborate with us? Thank you Sirrrrr
PS: your vids saved my butt a couple of times.
Absolutely. If I can get the time I'll do that. Thank you so much for watching Alex!
Thank you bro that video. It helps a lot. some folks they’re trying to make a lot of money with a small repair…thanks
You're welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
This was spot on!! Saved me a couple of hundred bucks (NJ). Very detailed to the point explanations with a little humor. Great job @LexVance
Thank you so much for watching!
Great instructions Lex. Jesus loves you Mr. Has plans to prosper you and save you for ever. We are spirit having a physical experience. God bless
Thank you so much for watching BluStone!
Jesus is a psychological projection made for meek people to feel comfortable in the world. It does not exist. It’s just a psychological crutch. You should get over that and grow up.
They still make blotter acid?
Haha! You got me on the chacha!
👍😆👍 Good to hear from you Efren!
Nice, showing the contacts and wires close up and readings is awesome.
Thank you so much for watching!
Hello Lex. Another day in paradise. Thx 4 being so kind.
Yep. Just making memories 😆. Good to hear from you Breeze Rides!
Hey Lex, I'm curious, how many work orders do you do per day? I realize this can vary quite a bit depending on the work needed and you also do things other than work orders. Just wondering if there's an average amount.
Mondays 10 to 15 due to weekend work orders that come in when no one is there. 5 to 8 Tuesday- Friday is the average. Thank you so much for watching Iniel!
Lol I read goodman as “goddamn air conditioner”
👍😆👍 Thank you so much for watching Aflay!
@@LexVance Thanks for the good advice ✌️
Good job brother on showing everyone knew in the trade I’ll give it to people like you that take time out to show everyone especially all these new guys in the field they need help
Thank you so much for watching Handy!
@@LexVance what kind of schooling do you have to go through to become a air conditioning technician
Love the cap and go. Especially on Sunday. Keep up the good work.

Thinking the same.. stupid easy money
I love your videos always straight to the point 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for watching Stef!
I know a little working as a handyman for years and techs tried to sell new unit to me lol! I changed capacitor and kicked on!!! Yeah! I also had weird problems with blower and it was big piece of insulation that fell off of sidewall next to blower cutting airflow and causing freezing and shutting down the blower... I drilled a hole in line by accident installing my security cameras and patched hole with copper silver wire and mapp gas yep got hot with good torch and put 8 pounds of Freon back in fired up soooo cold ..... I passed all tests for EPA with flying colors at APED universal tech scores ....not an HVAC schooled guy but it can be done.
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
You helped my confidence so much. Thanks
Right on, Jamal! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks Lex. My unit is about 2 years old, but a nasty storm came through a few days ago and blew out my capacitor. The capacitor still looks brand new but my house was up to 80 degrees inside and it’s May in texas. I quick swap from a local hardware store and now I’m back in business. Thanks
Nice fix, Jamodi! Thank you so much for watching!
Mines stopped working last night and this morning went and bought the part and replaced it my self saved myself 200 dollars thanks

It’s been awhile Skid Bro! Just wanted to let the new viewers know that I started green in the maintenance industry 4 1/2 years ago. I was supposed to shadow the then supervisor but he quit 2 hours into my first day. So I was forced to RUclips to do these work orders correctly. I found the Award Winning Dirty Maintenance Show and I was off to the races! I maintained 3 properties over 300 units in total by myself for 3 years with the knowledge Lex was dropping. I was let go during Covid-19 and left at 17$ hr I was hired onto a 190 unit property as a maintenance tech at $18 hr and in 8 months was promoted to Maintenance Supervisor at this property at $23 hr and a 1k stay on bonus. That’s a lot to say but I truly owe most of that success to you Lex! Thank you for taking long hours of recording and countless hours of editing so that guys like me can watch and learn in order to be our best self and succeed the right way in this industry. I will say though we need ya to bring back the Vlog series on our professional craft because those are so so valuable!!! Thanks again brother!!

Excellent video ! Saved me the HVAC call ! Was prepared to change the capacitor but noticed one of the fuses had gone bad. Switched both fuses out and I've got cooling again. However , given the age of the unit (approx. 10 years) I'm guessing I should go ahead and order capacitor now.

I just replaced a capacitor on a 5 ton goodman yesterday. Ordered the cap from amazon for 20$. The compressor was not running because the half of the cap for the HERM or compressor side was not working but it showed charging on a multimeter. The hack AC guy wanted 110 service fee, 330 for the capacitor and add another 30 taxes. I averted a 470$ charge for 20 bucks. Only difference was the cap I replaced it with was round instead of oval and the tolerance was 6% on the new one instead of 3% on the old one. The Unit was 4 years old and the capacitor was a 45 microfarad on the HERM and 5 microfarad on the condensor fan. Good day.
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
I really appreciate your content definitely a big help!
You're welcome George! Thank you so much for watching!
You just saved my day. I saw that my shop had a capacitor that I needed. 40/5 drove over there early this sunday morning while we are closed and grabbed it. Changed it and BAM!!!!! you duh MAN!!!! I even did the cha cha when I finished
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
@@LexVance seriously. You really helped me so much. It only crapped out last night but I was concerned all night. Saw your video at 430 am. Ill be looking at other videos you have regarding these things. I know the capacitor is just one issue. Thanks again.
