York RTU Multiple Problems 

I'm six month in, I see and learn a lot from you and your service work. I love how you think out loud. I have been on construction learning placement and layouts but no service. keep doing what you do

For the YORK units hold down the cancel button for 6 seconds and then it will say “cancel timer” then hit enter. This works for all timers except the start up timer.

Now that I’m going through HVACR trade school, I understand what you’re doing even more and it’s even more interesting to watch because one day I will be doing the same thing

Sounds like the compressor phasing is wrong. Lucky you. Love the commentary..I will continue watching. Great content. Thank you.

Love these unedited videos, its real world hvac work

Love carrier schematics. Trane makes them waay too complicated to point where u have to look up each terminal to see what it is instead of it being labeled normally. Just my opinion. Great video!

I recently got a no heat on a Carrier. The blower belt was cracked to shit. Installed was a 36". I went to the supplier, and they said either std is 33 and high-static is 39. I took the 33 and adjusted the motor. My amp readings were 2.1 amp running, rated 2.2. Good to go!

It's good you worked it out... (VFD's are generally phase independent.). That said, running scrolls backwards long enough will cause damage. I would have gauged up. At the very least grabbed some current measurements.

Haha man you were pumped when that compressor first started.

Pull the grey terminals off the board for the thermostat inputs and just use jumpers from R to occ and to your Y or W terminals. This is how you can jump these units easily.

Who cares what the "haters" have to say? They can go elsewhere for content. Just do your thing...we're watching.

I would be changing that disconnect box. Accident waiting to happen there. Haha to your Home Depot comment! I service Home Depots, so I just go down the ladder and get what i need. lol

that was Egon who was always said never cross the beams 😉

From my experience the compressors are phased with the indoor blower motor from the manufacturer. If compressors run backwards so will the blower motor.

Could you have changed two of the incoming lines so that the wiring schematic will still read correctly. Thanks for the video's. Many people would not have realized that those compressors are phase sensitive.

Save yourself some time, the next time you run into this...reverse two leads on the load side of your disconnect...the VFD feeding the fan motor is designed to prevent the fan motor from running backwards...so your phasing is reversed at the disconnect.

If you suspect reversed phasing, switch two wires at the bottom of the disconnect. You should remark the wires with the correct color marking tape.

Is there an amount of belt deflection specified by the manufacturer for proper tension?

That unit looks very new; was it commissioned out of phase?

Nice job

Dis you even check if blower is spinning the correct way, in supposing that blower is 3ph as well, reverse 2 wires on comp. Contactor. + power surges can reverse phases, pretty common issues in NY tristate area that's why phase controls get installed

got a york rtu unit that says indoor air quality sensor failure and the contactor for the condenser and compressor wont pull in just the fan one does....push it in manually and everything kicks on....any thoughts?? i have 24v at the transformer..

Hi, I have a york rtu. It's only 6 months old. It has a vfd control and a SE control board. On a heat call the display on the vfd says F25.3. The unit shuts down due to limit switch. The supply temp is about 190F. Gas pressure, belt, filters, ducts all good. How can I adjust fan speed? Also can you get rid of the vfd and use motor normally? Thanks

VFDs don't care about input phase. The utility could be hooked up phase reversed.

Nice video

Ridiculous, New RTU and the cheap installers couldn't be bothered to replace a $100 disconnect.

There really isn’t a first stage compressor on these units, the system switches which compressor is “first stage” based on system use, to even out compressor wear. That’s from York directly.

Good video,,,amigo Soprano,,,,what is whater like ,,,cold ?

At first that compressor sounded like an old recip with a broken rod..... Though not used much, I inherited a phase rotation meter from my father when he used to do commercial work. Three phase always fascinated me. Oddly, I was able to get a 1.5 hp 3 phase motor to run off of 220 single phase correctly with nothing more than a capacitor to create a phantom leg Just for fun. You are not all that far from where I am, did you get dumped on by the weather?

where is the best place to buy new belts for York RTU?

They over automated these units, they are great units, but there is so many issues with sensor failures, and limits being placed too close to heat exchanger, and heat strips, that even new these units generate a LOT of bs calls. Plus all the phantom errors.

yeah that rebar is bend af lol

New Crap,, why didn't you just switch the 24 volt to the contactor, haha, you did what I suggested. and leave off the wire on the bad one.... true... we only learn.. when things go wrong

Maybe an electrician switched phases when replacing a breaker downstairs?

They tried to cram in so much extra technology in these they create more problems then they save or detect.
