Thanks for the tips. As an apartment maintenance technician these have helped me troubleshoot our systems several times without having to call a contractor.
4:25 if the cool or snowflake is flashing. It could be a time delay setting. You might also have a time delay in the condenser unit. Just another helpful tip that took me a while to learn. Which you did mention.
As a owner, techs are told to never ever use anything to push in a contactor that could spark, use your pen a stick a rock .If you hit the 120vlt side and cause a spark, you are (not) covered by workman's comp . I know it happened to me, customer called my name and poof, my screwdriver tip had a hole. Be warned, Be safe
Sam I just want to say I'm glad I came across your You Tube tutorials. Thank you for doing step by step and talking at a steady tone it's perfect and showing and explaining why at the same time what's your actually doing. Today Jan 25th 2021 at just became a subscriber
Great job on this video. I watched a lot of other videos and these one gave me the info strength to the point and no extra stuff. Simple, clear, good cam shots, nice pace in dispensing the information. Thank you.
Thanks for your vids. I'm just getting into the field and these are perfect. Most of the other youtubers seem to be talking only to people who are already experts in the field.
Appreciate the feedback. These videos will give you a general basic foundation for actual field issues that are applicable for field use. This is how I systematically train guys who are new to the industry. By year 2 they are ready to go on their own. I an confident that if they have a foundation to stand on they will flourish... and so will you! 🙂 Thank you!
Sam your doing a awesome job. I stumbled upon your channel because I wanted to learn more about the industry and let me tell you just by watching your videos I feel alot more confident about troubleshooting and thinking to solve problems. Thank you for the videos keep up the great work
Mr Sam good afternoon,,very educational videos with clear and precise explanations in an easy way to learn ,now I have a short question ,after the blower motor has stopped the transformer do as a humming sound is that ok ? Any suggestion I would appreciate it thank you have a safe and happy day with your family
I appreciate it. Honestly I love being in the field! It when you are out in the field you learn and continue to learn as more and more issues arise! Thank you for your comment. Its viewers like you that I post these videos! 😁👍
I have a question please I noticed on your unit I didn't see a board is that true cuz you were taking voltage readings right off of the transformer. The unit I'm trying to get working it does have a board and I only have two wires coming in to the high voltage side of the transformer and two wires coming out from the low voltage side of the transformer. When I turn my thermostat on to call for heating or cooling I get nothing no fan no nothing at the blower motor inside. My fan is running outside but I don't hear the compressor kicking in. Down at the furnace unit on the board I don't seem to have power at my red terminal which is your power and I did jump from R to G what should have allowed my blower motor to come on (I did have the door safety override switch pressed in) I suppose my next step would be to verify that I have 120 volts going into my transformer and roughly 24 volts coming out of my low voltage side of the transformer correct? Also a lot of the RU-vid videos and articles on the internet are referring to a 3 amp fuse on the board for the life of me I do not see a 3 amp fuse on the board. Do all those boards have a fuse? Could the fuse be elsewhere?
I am really confused why at 4:23 you decide to troubleshoot the blower motor rather than simply switching fan to on? If you switch to on and the air con comes on haven't you just eliminated the blower motor step?
Question for anyone; Why is he using the black lead on the multi meter to touch the transformer and not the red lead? it's on 10:50 part. So the black is common and red is voltage. I would have used the red one to touch the transformer/low voltage switch. Thank you
Why do you not refer to the blower section as the air handler or furnace? Iv'e never heard of that section referred to as the return. I understand thats where the return air is but to refer to that piece of equipment as the return? I dont get it.
What would be wrong if it freezes up ..only when I set it below 74 at night...ii would have to just but I think it stays running but when I set to 75 its fine....what u think ? Thanks
Are these two week boot camp courses for beginners worth the money? I want to go HVAC but the long schools want lots of money and a year but tie course gives you all the basics and allows you to get hired as an apprentice. Worth it?
