Mistake videos or customer service scenarios are the best because in real life we learn from each other's mistakes and experiences anyway. That's authentic.
As a training technician I would soooo appreciate seeing the mistakes as well as the complete successes. I’ve kind of gravitated towards this channel as a tool to peek into the real world; I want to take your path and eventually man my own business and make my own way. Show us what’s real, the realness is what resonates with other people!!!!!
I like the direction you want to take the channel just put out videos man no matter what happens I love to watch something I can relate to it’s not always easy out there
Probably not a bad board. We are a Trane dealer, sometimes those wires are not seated completely into those plugs and make poor contact, was assembled on Friday.
Have had similar situation happen on some Trane Heat Pumps. Was supposed to switch over to cooling and never did because of of these loose connections.
I check the board in the back behind the molex plug sometimes I see cold soldering points . Then with my iron welder I fix it real quick . Great job Zack !! ❤
I really appreciate this episode..it really makes you relatable and personal. I tuned out for yue last 6-9 months. Im glad i tuned into this video. As far as resonating with this new angle of you os totally relatable and i cant wait to tune in going forward
I just had this on an older Goodman had to unplug and plug it back in and it started working the customer had me replace the board and wiring harness. Haven’t had any problems since.nice find
Mistake videos are okay but only thing is everyone handles situations differently. I definitely feel that vlog styles that show best practices and troubleshooting methods are the best to not only show your professionalism but also help the next generation see that yeah it’s a hard trade but it can be rewarding in so many aspects of life. Keep up the good work. 🤝🏻
Gotta take the bitter with the sweet buddy,we all aren’t perfect,You remind of myself,Could be burnt Bro,seriously.Take a small break and see if that helps,I’ve done it,also try cutting back on calls,don’t take every call,remember it’s your Company.Hope things go well.
Am also doing HVAC in the Murfreesboro area. Came from apartment maintenance into HVAC fulltime this month, been loving the channel. Learning everything I can, hvac has been enjoyable so far, way better than the shoddy work at some of the apartments around here.
I’ve taken a din rail screwdriver and opened up the pins on the molex plug a little bit and it’ll tighten up the connections. I’ve had that fix random electrical issues in a unit.
I don't watch your videos to see a "movie". I want to see what happens and how to deal with it. I enjoy the content and appreciate the good videos. I would say that a raw, rough edited video regularly is better than an a high quality edited video here and there. Thanks for your channel and showing your work.
I would love to see the mistake videos so I can start learning! Sucks you weren’t able to film this one but hey, you figured it out for the customer! Keep doing your thing man! Can’t wait to see more!
You taught me alot man. Watched a lot of your videos and appreciate the real stuff. That’s going to draw in more views and subscribers showing the bad and ugly too.
Could be any number of causes. That outdoor furnace could have corrosion on the Molex connection, a bad solder joint on the board. You might have actually closed the limit circuit just by putting your meter across the pair. As far as the aggregation factor, just remember 2 things: 1- Family comes first. 2- Everything you do IS for the family. Take it easy brother and just run with the punches. Stay well 👍
On the very first day of me starting out in HVAC on my own, while I was doing a maintenance on a furnace. This happened to me and it took me almost 3 hours to figure out why? 😂
I'm 21, and have never been a handy man. I heard it from my dad all the time. Is there any part of this field that you recommend just getting started? Thanks 😊
Also I like the idea of more videos. As someone who enjoys the craft and is in the industry I know all too well about things going sideways. That kinda stuff, while a pain in the ass, or maybe not ideal, could make some good content. I just like your videos and I’ve taken ideas for my tool and van setup from you.
Whenever i start seeing or units acting strange, 9xoutta 10 its a board/loose plug situation. But with this trade, u nvr know what ur gonna walk up on and find. Stay safe out there bros.
By chance was this on a trane or American standard? I had an after hours call the other night and had same issue…. Limit switch open but blower was running and switch was good.
I can understand why people are helicopters... but man is it a nightmare as a newer tech. It's stressful enough figuring out what's wrong sometimes or if you have to call someone, and then you have the customer hovering over you.
I went to a training once and a technician was there that was 84 years old and still working . Was working with his father at the age of 14 ,The Man was from the San Diego area . Much respect to him and you .
My usual "Don't go to plan" calls almost always involve communicating systems. I hate when a simple reset solves the symptoms but doesn't identify the problem. Don't sweat showing or not showing field work. Your priority on the call is to help the customer, right?
