    copper cap tubes that are under water in the A/C season when there is water in the drain pan always are eaten away by being submerged in the water with refrigerant flowing in them. also the cap tubes on the far left and right of the coil with be eaten away. this is always there the leaks start and the first place I check. usually oil on them and around them. have found that on Goodman and also Nordyne coils.

    When I press my Goodman condenser contactor in everything comes on and the line is cold but it's losing 24 volts somewhere. I can't figure out where. Can you give me an idea of where to start diagnosing if it's a bad board? Can the contactor still be bad even if it works when you manually press it in?

    • @StephenRardon
      @StephenRardon  8 лет назад +3

      +Steve Mazzoni the area had me thinking this the refrigerant may have been stolen and if I add nitro and I don't find a leak then I have to vacuum before recharge.

    thnx for ur videos. May be you can help me. What is a "high pressure lockout"? And could a defective thermostat caused the defrost board to show this code. My heat pump board is currently showing this code. The OUTDOOR unit DOES NOT, start up at all, in heating or cooling. There is 24v on the R and C terminals. In the "emergency" mode, I am not getting enough heat. It only heats up to 72degrees only, and runs all night. And never shuts off. This is a RHEEM system. 6yrs old. I am really frustrated now, because i am having all these issues at the same time. I am thinking the thermostat is mal functioning, then I think its the defrost board. then i think the heat strips has issues. I am a wreck with these issues. The indoor unit runs fine, but NOTHING from the OUT DOOR UNIT. I just can't figure it out. Hope you or any other can assist me.

    so did the gooman condenser have a low pressure switch to disengage the 24 v circuit due to low freon pressure? I have the same issue but I didnt see a low and high side pressure switch. if so besides the service ports where would they be located. I looked inside the condenser, took the panels off nothing unless its built enternally

    In my 15 years experience in this business, it's the people that should and need to worry the most that don't. This 1978 Singer should last another 10 years, right?! Aw, come on man....you can get a new compressor for it etc...etc....

    My heat pump will run for about 10-15 seconds then shut off for about the same amount of time and keeps repeating this short-cycling. I think it is low on charge and that is causing the low pressure sensor to shut the system down, any thoughts??

    • @mattluongo7763
      @mattluongo7763 3 года назад

      Ether low pressure or high pressure are tripping. The causes for each vary quite a bit. Cooling or heating mode? Low refrigerant, air flow/fan motor problems, faulty valves and restrictions. All these things and more can cause short cycles. Don't get me started on faulty zone control boards.

    • @StephenRardon

    • @stevewarren3051
      @stevewarren3051 6 лет назад

      Sorry, I wasn't too clear. When thermostat calls for heat, aux heat (gas furnace) comes on immediately. HP compressor never starts. When it calls for cooling, the HP compressor starts and cools normally.

    • @StephenRardon
      @StephenRardon  6 лет назад

      I see, my suspicion is that there is some sort of temperature control that is keeping the compressor from operating. If it runs in cooling at whatever ambient temperature but not heating then I’d guess it could be a digital lock out rather than a mechanical one. Shoot me an email stephenrardon@gmail.com

      when the system is flat it could be tested with either nitrogen or refrigerant. If nitrogen is used then it would require a repair and evacuation. In this case there was a chance that someone had maliciously removed the refrigerant so I decided to try just adding a little gas to avoid needing to evacuate if that was the case.
