What about checking the inrush amps? It could have been a weak breaker that was tripping way too low.

@gussoidarg3956 2 месяца назад

Been there and done that, I've learned to manually push the contactor when I find an old system with traces of refrigerant leak to get an idea of the charge, that ussually gives up a bad compressor or capacitor too.

May have been the compressor connector that had a short in it. Might have been useful to check the connector for a short.

@richardbartlett6932 2 месяца назад

he did as he disconnected the compressor and the fan ran. However he should have retested to make 100% sure it was the compressor.

@guytech7310 2 месяца назад

@@richardbartlett6932 I think he disconnected the cable from the contactor when he ran the test, thus excluding the cable. Maybe I am mistaken.

Somehow, someway, that compressor is stuck. I guess from sitting. Dang shame after all the work you put into it beforehand. Good video, you can't win them all, I hope you get the replacement job.

@MrJujubean 2 месяца назад

He never took an Amp reading to see if it was over amping? As quickas that breaker was tripping it had dead short someplace it seems. I don't think it was LR

@jthonn 2 месяца назад

@@MrJujubean That is possible, that wiring was cracked up. I think that the unit sat so long the compressor was stuck. Now this rarely works and kind of barbaric, but I have taken a block of wood and a hammer and give the compressor a good wack, and sometimes it would start. Then I would install a hard start capacitor on it. That unit was old and it wasn't worth all the risk. If you got it going and then discover a leak, then you are really screwed. He made the right choice.

@JHACbiz 2 месяца назад

That did seem to trip way too quick to be lock rotor...normally the compressor would attempt to start. But running the fan without the compressor proved there was no dead short upstream of the contactor so that means it's failing under load leading to either the compressor or the breaker/panel. I've seen it where the bus bar was burned up and the there was arcing under a decent load causing a dead short.

@hinspect 2 месяца назад

I very much enjoyed watching this late this afternoon. I would love to whack that compressor with a big rubber hammer or something! That looks just like the Rheem that was in a rental property.

@dmiestercommkitchentech3043 2 месяца назад

Check capacitor by checking amps and volts if cap is good you will read both if volts and no amps cap is open if amps but no volts cap is shorted this will trip breaker it happens to dual capacitors more often and that is probably why the 5microfarad side of the dual cap was not being used a capacitor can read good if the only thing checked is the microfarad reading but still be shorted internally.

@Dougc3157 2 месяца назад

That unit looks like it had a hard life and it was totally neglected from the video. I guess the compressor was toast and the unit will have to be replaced. Great video.

Should’ve checked compressor start with

@markbeiser Месяц назад

True, but the readings he got when he did check it would not have shown there to be a problem, so it would not have helped. An insulation resistance tester would likely have revealed the problem, but that only gets pulled out when there is a problem, and most techs don't even have one.

@wilsonhortman4110 2 месяца назад

Why did you turn the tstat without cking the condenser first. Why did you replace the Contactor before cking presssure. You saw the oil. 18:48 there is a guage port on the dryer. You could use it and save a lot of trouble. A few simple cks can save a lot of time. If tripping the breaker go straight to the compressor terminals and check.

@allenfoster9910 2 месяца назад

My question is....why install parts without checking the compressor first after you found the bad contactor? I never do that.

@markbeiser Месяц назад

Based on the readings he got, it would not have revealed any problems, unless he used an insulation resistance tester, and most techs don't even have one of those.

@jstephenrussell6443 2 месяца назад

If the compressor has been sitting up for a long period of time it could be frozen which would cause it to trip the breaker. You may have to replace it. I would try a rubber mallet first and try get it to come lose, if not, then replace it. 😀

The power wire coming off the contactor looks like it is grounding to the case, has breaks in the insulation on both wires. You didn't see that ????? Your work is getting sloppy.

I would looked at it and condemned it and just got a new unit. Throwing good money on bad to repair it I went through that! They kept replacing parts in within 3 months, it would have been cheaper to replace the unit.
