Goodman System Not Cooling Due to Major Issue | HVAC 

It’s not non rinsing. It’s self rinsing on the evaporator when it’s condensating says it on the bottle I’m pretty sure

They say you can mount some vertically and yes it plays a part, rule of thumb is 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions there is liquid and gas in those and it’s supposed to be level because liquid can flood the tail

i wouldnt have added any gas, i would ve just cleaned the condenser real good. nice video by the way

Condenser coil is still dirty, looks clean, but not Liquid line temperature was 123 deg. and ambient air was only 100 degrees . Liquid line temp should be no more than 1-2 degrees above ambient. Try using Nu-Brite to clean condensers.

U done good. U gotta remember when the unit is overloaded the subcooling will b low. As it catches tge load the subcooling will rise.

So the quality of your calls go down at the end of the day…..I can put a Goodman too back on in 30 seconds, always take the door off and problem solved it’s not so difficult your quality of work is who you are and the company you represent you got some good videos but you have a few bad habits but hey you all good my man

A smart, honest, and conscientious young tech like you, with exposure via youtube ... you'll be getting job offers. You should be thinking about what part of the country you'd like to live.

Great video! I’m just starting my career in hvac. I’ve learned a lot from you thank you keep them coming! I do have a question for you, 5 years ago I used seal easy on my system. House is not getting cold like before can I use seal easy again on my system I feel like doing myself…thanks new subscriber

"Sales Techs", that's a great term. S. FL is filled with them. I haven't met a real technician.

I have that same manifold

Use measure quick you can zero the probes

You can mount the bulb vertical but it NEEDS to be stem up

Nice to watch a honest tech not acting like you know everything when not sure asking for help

Wow, that thing was nasty!!!

From what I understand a TXV has to have a full column of liquid feeding it to work correctly and adding that half of a pound might have made that column full so the TXV started opening up and dropping head pressures. I have seen others add just a little to see the TXV reaction. I guess that is where a sight glass is worth its weight in gold. I really enjoy your videos!

10 seconds in and I'm commenting......Filthy!

I think you have your guidelines backwards. Txv works off of head pressure? The bulb measures superheat which is evap pressure. Then you say if subcool is low clean the condenser. Dirty condenser produces high head pressure which normally gives a high subcool, which makes you look OVER charged. That's how I heard you and it sounds backwards. I don't know what should have been done here (unlike the armchair geniuses) but I was just clearing up the rules of thumb as I understand them.

I stay in a mobile home and have a TXV as well. But my evap definitely will never look like that 😂

🤟💯🌎

good job Austin

In that situation with the high head pressure and it being 100° outside, but superheat high and sub cool low (after evap clean), would start by cleaning that outdoor coil like you said to try and lower the head pressure, especially you saying lack of maintenance on rentals for sure. Then once that head pressure lowered I would still be looking at that subcool for low charge. If that outdoor coil caused that head pressure with normal refrigerant levels it would eventually lead to a high subcool overtime with the txv. 100° outside in the southeast we would see about close to a 380-390ish head pressure possibly outside. You sounded like you were going the right direction. And the 150-160° suction is normal for that high load inside. I keep editing as I watch the video. As long as the txv bulb is mounted securely and tightly, then it will do its job because it’s just refrigerant in the bulb reading a temp. If the bulb was dirty and poorly mounted it would cause more refrigerant than needed to enter the evap

I don’t think the system was overcharged I think you just had lack of air flow…. Even though it’s subcool metering device you still need proper airflow. That evap and I’m sure the blower wheel was just as dirty, you did what you had to do, but I don’t think you need refrigerant

Great video! Great tips!

dang, bo, that's nasty!

That system needs some love 💕

Your wrong! You mumble to much too.😂😂😂. Did you check the incoming side of the air handler coil? You didn’t clean or help the evap at all. Nice effort though. Had you checked the incoming side of the coil, it will be packed. So, your system is overcharged. Simple. Thats it. As well, being the evap coil is plugged, knuckleheads before you tried adding gas to get the suction pressure up. No bueno. Condenser coil needed a quick wash and fins straightened out. Good on that. So before you start on the wrong path of sub cools, superheats, temps, and all the deep stuff, and get yourself mumbling, get to the simple things first. 99% of the time it’s the easy stuff that is the issue. ( plugged evap coil). A quick inspection will get you started on the right path to a positive result. Nice vid. Enjoying them.
