GOODMAN R22 AC UNIT NOT COOLING HOME merch = teespring.com/... / stevenlavimoniere lavimoniere productions llc subscribe to my channel / @stevenlavimoniere lavimoniereplum...
We hit 109 today in Tucson. The news will make you think that you will melt if you go outside. I went for a 4 mile bike ride once it cooled down to 105.
I tell people a capacitor is like the tank on your toilet. Instead of a water accumulator, it’s an electron accumulator. When you need it, it comes out with a rush and gets shit moving.
I been putting Goodman's and service them for many years, ran into the same problem, it's always a good idea let the condenser motor cool down because it might be open in internal overload on one of the legs, Motor cool down and it ran with no problem at all.
Steve knows how to win the ladies over with Miss Molly lol she was ready to go until he started explaining three phase versus single phase that I think you you lost her 😂
Hey Steve great video if you can not read information on fan motor look at the unit information plate it will give you the fan motor size and FLA and volt needed you probably already know that just saying have a wonderful 4th of July .
If the house was built in 2003 the R22 unit could have been brand new. I think 22 was officially phased out in 2009 so that unit was probably of the last batch of 22. And hell yeah R22 is worth it's weight in gold. I have a 20 year old 4 ton Rheem and just had to fix a leak. R22 is easily available, but it's crazy expensive! 30 LBS bottle is about $900. My unit was down only about 5 LBS so I bought a 10 LBS bottle, cost $325.00 shipped.
When customers ask, I always give the explanation what a capacitor does as device to kick start the compressor… explaining phase shifting theory causes eyes to glaze over.
Apnea can give you other health issues. I'm your age and apnea caused my bone marrow to over produce blood. Started going every month so they can bleed me. Get rid of extra blood. Cuts pressure in my heart.
Makes me feel guilty. I should have changed that capacitor the last Somma, Dad was alive. Carrier unit. I kept him cool with window fans, and doors open ceiling fans! In the estate fiasco, that's all it was. The capacitor.
Don't feel guilty , most people don't have a clue about how to fix an HVAC , the fans probably felt good, that's all people used to have not that long ago
Don't forget the drain plugs! The ones that need to come out are the ones on the bottom! And those plugs need to go in the top of the motor! Once you get your CPAP machine, you'll notice a world of difference. My mother has one, I have one, but I had to stop using it. I just found out I got a partially collapsed lung. I'm working on an appointment with a pulmonologist. Since all they did for a sleep study was a glorified pulse oximeter, they never did realize my lungs are fucked up. As for your new CPAP system, they have a maintenance procedure that requires distilled water., clean bottle brushes, and patience. They got a ton of accessories that would easily blow your budget to hell. But the basics that comes with the unit is all you need. The mask, you'll go through two or three different ones until you get the right one that fits, and you won't notice it while you sleep. Follow the fitting instructions TO THE LETTER, and you won't have much discomfort or trouble.
Good repairman explains to customer people know more they can save u more work like if fan doesnt work shut it down the compressor is very expensive and time consuming repair
Has Goodman improved since the Japanese (Daikin) bought them? My 15 yr old Goodman has been quite troublesome with a lot of parts replaced over that period both furnace and AC. Reluctant to replace with that brand again.
Repairman were using flames to detect leaks on systems by looking for a flame or change. Doing this caused phosgene gas to be created when it hit a flame. Thus causing an exposure to the worker. Not a good thing. Right now there isn't a refrigerant made to be safe 100%.
Thank you , closest Cap explanation, “It phases the power coming in and out, I mean a little more to it but close enough,people saying it’s like a battery nope, the it would be called a battery, usually won’t hold a charge unless common is disrupted or burnt wire off ect, they usually discharge themselves but still practice safe practices all the time guys, ok sleepy time I’m out 🥱😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴it’s late and 96 with 80% humidity and 9 and 3/4 service calls , 2 being RTU, one scuttle one 35’ ladder and fuck climbing any more , I’m done with that , in 40 mph winds and rain coming in 2day
Wouldn't it been a good time to clean the coil while the top was off? Those units like to get clogged up between the two coils and retain quite a bit of heat.
It's not a money thing why they stopped producing our r22 or 410A. It has to do with the fact that when the gas escapes into the environment because you have some leakers it leads to the retention of energy in the atmosphere aka heat greenhouse gases
If you say it enough times, it becomes true. The truth is that the eco geeks can’t make up their minds which refrigerant is safe for the environment. Right now, R-32 seems to be the latest flavor of the day but you can bet DuPont will be lobbying to outlaw that refrigerant too. BTW, R-32 is a major component of R-410a which makes me wonder why the idiots didn’t jump to R-32 from the beginning.
Went from a pay me now job, to a pay me later job, 💰💰💰all because no one tested the unit standing outside back in may to make sure it was up and operational SMH 🙄🙄
