AC UNIT NOT COOLING AT ANOTHER DAYCARE merch = teespring.com/stores/steve-lav / stevenlavimoniere lavimoniere productions llc subscribe to my channel / @stevenlavimoniere lavimoniereplumbingandheating....
Great Job! It is amazing to me how much better a/c systems were made compared to the schitt manufactured in the last 20 years or so. I enjoyed watching 👍😉
Great job cleaning the coils and getting rid of the leaves. Many wouldn't do that. I would have tie-wrapped the wires in the electrical box, just to make it a cleaner job.
Glad you were able to get new motor for older unit to match and fast delivery. Puller also looks like it saved the day. Nice job getting it cool again for the kiddos. Sure they all appreciated it.
How nice to be able to find the exact OEM replacement motor ! No clusters with those reversing wires and extra wires to fit "universal" jobs. A simple R&R motor and Cap. Keep it alive...
Once more a kick ass video Steve, great skills and knowledge! Stay cool, as we are at 104 with a heat index at about 122! Keep the videos coming friend 💫💥💯☝️👍🫵
I always bring the fan when replacing a motor in case it don't come off or a cracked blade. I feel it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it... And I'm not fighting with a stubborn fan .
Hey Steve, maybe I missed it but do you check pressures first on a unit that old before doing such a big job. It would suck to go through all that work and find out it was low on gas too.
Can't check them accurately if the fan isn't working. The compressor kicked over so it at least had enough to run. Best he could have done is make sure it had some pressure in it, which he could already tell since the compressor kicked on. Still a crapshoot though on a unit that old.
What lubricant are you using in the pump bottle for the motor shaft? It looks clear. A very thin oil? WD-40? I like to use the 50/50 Synthetic ATF and Acetone mix, but I am curious what you use. I have learned a lot from your videos over the years. thanks from up the road in Taunton.
Why do they make motors so damn hard to replace? Is there a manufacturer that makes it super easy to change one out? That is fucking ridiculous. The manufacturers need to make sure all parts are easy to change. The motors should just come with the fan too.
If they made quality motors...they wouldn't have to be changed. Main problem is shaft bearings fail long before the motor does. Sleeve bearings go out sooner than ball bearings. No more "oil ports" either so "maintenance free" or "sealed" means when they need some lube, you are out of luck.
@@Garth2011 I did a lot of computer work for a professional engineer that never worked for anyone but himself as he knew he would have a battle with bean counters trying to cut cost. He was a great engineer in that he always used ball bearings instead of sleeve bearings for the reason you stated. He said that sales needed to explain the cost difference instead of accounting cutting costs. IBM was that way for years until accounting infected it. Engineering and quality should always prevail over screwed up bean counter logic. We see the results with Boeing, GM, Ford, and Chrysler-do we more examples?
