Good job Steve, you diagnose the problem so fast, that using a nut driver on a drill, would make your shows to short, and that disconnect looked like it was jacked up, and you have Miss Molly watching the capacitors and the truck, you have surveillance, good job Miss Molly, workin' again y'all.
That R22 unit was made in 1992 based on the serial number (1:41). The capacitor was GE which predates the Genteq acquisition of GE's capacitor business in 2004. The capacitor has a date code of 471 (9:04), which probably means the 47th week of 1991, which means it is probably the original capacitor!!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. The best thing I Liked was the magnetic plate to hold the screws in place. I got to buy me one, even if I am just going to use it once.
Been putting Carrier in for over 33 years.i put two TRA Carrier systems in my house in 1996 and just changed them out this year.they were still going.these condensers were the best design.easy to clean the coil and change the compressor if needed.not like today’s stuff
The Milwaukee M12 Fuel has a nice feature to select torque. On newer Rooftop Units, the sheet metal is so much thinner, it takes nothing to strip out. So I use the Level 1 setting which is super delicate. Its basically finger tight. On small units like these, nut driver all the way.
Seriously tho.. With all the stuff I've learned here, I saved myself a $10k furnace replacement after 2-feet of water in the basement. Furnace still running strong after I 'renovated' it.... :-)
Replaced my evaporator coil after proclaiming "she's a leaker mama!". Used stay-brite 8 to sweat the joints, no leaks. Saved myself 11k on a new system. All because RUclips decided I should be watching HVAC videos, weird time to be alive.
@@teefill - Stay Brite 8 is great for HVAC installations. I am surprised that SB8 soft solder isn’t more popular. It eliminates the need for flowing nitrogen.
I love the stuff. I had a friend with a 608 fill it and even he didn't think it would hold. I told him it's stronger than Brazing, it'll be fine. I think manufacturers don't like it because the tech can easily use too much flux and get acid in the system increasing warranty claims. Brazing takes some room for error out. Just a theory of mine.
Steven, just wondering if you recommend to clean out all of those leaves in the unit since you had it opened already; or do you think it’s not necessary?
It would be if the landlord wanted to pay for a cleaning service which includes much more checking etc. My guess is Steve only charged minimum labor to replace the capacitor and be price friendly with his client.
Runs quiet...My guess that cap is 2001 era since it failed. Cap doesn't look old enough for OEM. Made in Mexico too. Would be best if the HVAC techs would use USA made, nothing else.
Harbor Freight, Advance Auto, Northern Tool, and Dollar[-twenty five] Tree are all places I've seen them. I have a few different sizes of the dish-shaped ones, but I'd like a small one like that one myself.
OMG, why wouldnt you want to strip out the screws? i thought those impact drivers were for getting things so tight they are loose again. once it seats give it hell till its so tight no once can get it out again!!!! my apprentice thought it was funny I didnt use a drill. this is why!!!! give it hell momma. its only get tighter!!!!!

Smart cookie! I’ve never attempted to date a capacitor, that’s next level.
@@FrenchBeefCDN you forgot the Mama 😋
Seems like all the capacitors from that time are all going out this year. 😆
Now we're getting a little Rain man here.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. The best thing I Liked was the magnetic plate to hold the screws in place. I got to buy me one, even if I am just going to use it once.
I used to put a little Oxgard on the disconnect pull outs if they were hard to get out. Just a little bit to lube them. Good job.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all.
Another beautiful thing done, thank you Steve and Miss Molly.

Same I don’t use a driver on most of the little screws
Seen some with all of them not holding anything

Same here. I use the extra few minutes to just think a bit...
Cap'n'go, Cha-ching! I love those! Good job Steve!
Another R22 unit still running strong!
Nice Job Steve! Hello Miss Molly!

You’ll save even more money if you learn how to repair your car. South Main Auto is a good channel for brakes and troubleshooting tips.

@@picklerix6162 Yup, I never changed brakes or rotors before youtube and I cant believe how easy it is once you learn. Saved myself $500+

LOVE MISS MOLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Date of manufacture is April 1992. 30 years - that is impressive
I have a similar unit at my house....Feb 1992. I''ve never had to touch it.

good fix.
Steven lavimonier I like your utube videos are awesome
They are addicting and therapeutic. I been watching since he had less than 20k subs
@@WeatherNut27 I have too, and steve has saved me thousands as well. Yee Ha.
Another quick fix and a great video to add! Good job Steve, keep the video's coming ☝️ 👍✌️💯💥
i was wondering the same but i can’t go back now. i love the m12 impact
awesome for hvac troubleshooting
I know that you are busy but I will be glad when it cools off a bit so we can get some more cooking instructions
Easiest service call i changed at least 50 so far this summer
1:50 I agree! Driver OK for removal, but for install do it by hand. I could see hacks slamming screws in to get to the next job.
Gave it the ol how you doing!!!!
She’s a crusty one mr grinch!
Unfortunately the electrical trade gave me carpal tunnel at 47yrs old so now I have to find the easier way to screw & unscrew things
Nice work
You're a badass 😜🙂😜 Steve!!
I see you had to jam on that disconnect you get her open.
Hard to stop a carrier mama.
Miss Molly ... guarding the parts ... sweet girl
Hello Steve!
Nice work on that crusty Carrier!
Great video as always!
Do you use a drill if you have to take the unit apart to clean?
Big Fan by the way been fallowing since 2016 thank you sir for teaching me a lot
Runs quiet...My guess that cap is 2001 era since it failed. Cap doesn't look old enough for OEM. Made in Mexico too. Would be best if the HVAC techs would use USA made, nothing else.
big door carrier OH BOY had a lot of those compressors go bad
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Great Video
Cap and run Mollie👍🏻
Where'd you get that magnetic screw holder? I would love one.
Amazon has a lot of them, all different sizes.
Harbor Freight, Advance Auto, Northern Tool, and Dollar[-twenty five] Tree are all places I've seen them. I have a few different sizes of the dish-shaped ones, but I'd like a small one like that one myself.
Most auto parts houses have them or any tool truck. Amazon to Harbor Freight will too.
Cap n Go
happy Sunday evening everyone
Hey Steve,
Nice quick fix,1 hour minimum plus trip,easy money 💰. I'm a big fan,much respect my friend, just happen to be a liberal,no hard feelings!
i dont care if your a left winger lol
We have a lot more in common than our differences!
Another well done Vid Steve, question, what caps do you keep on hand? Thanks J
all of them...rarely does he not have one on the truck...
Don’t see these ones much! My parents had this same condenser with a Carrier Crusader furnace installed in 1990. A/c died in 2010 and furnace in 2017.
