Some older Bryant/Carrier uses either an 850 or 875 (can't remember which) RPM Condenser Fan Mtr...But Chances are you won't have one on your van...Well I never do at any rate...

Thanks for the heads up on the YORK...that may save me from scratching my head on a Saturday night after hours call...

You know thats right! Usually I don't carry 825's on the truck, I had been carrying those 825 GE rescue motors but I don't think they are GE anymore, just borrowing the brand name for a while after being bought. Anyway I seem to have issues with them so I try and get an emerson or AO Smith rescue motor. 1075 GE rescues are ok though I suppose.

hit the test pins together with a screwdriver it will reset the board for you and it sounds like service man contanimation LOL cap in the box huh lolol NICE!!! and i think it was a singer you speaking of with the plastic they actually were not bad compared to some of the junk of todays manufacturing like trane evap coils they rifle the copper to get the refrigerant to swirl causing better heat pickup but also causing weak evap coils OOPS ....

i troubleshoot a heat pump system on start up the compresor started iceing up it wouldnt take a charge.whats the problem?

[redhot916spd]

At 1:45 you speak of the outdoor temp sensors, what did they ohm at, there is a specific resistance for each of those at given temps. What was the capacitance of the capacitors? Thanks for the vids, they help me learn to be a tech also!!

Hey Mike could you use Circuit Diagram in your explanation process

please.

Don't give me wrong , you are a excellent and smart guy.

Thank you very much for your time and for Sharing you experiences and knowledge.

I agree jdr..but you can tell the guy was pretty darn smart for a service tech and he's definitely not a newby....meaning beyond leaving jumper wires on a unit calling it fixed and leaving ...but sometimes being human mean we make the occasional mistake and  don't live in the perfect hvac tech bubble. That call was only embarrasing if he wouldn't have came back to fix it!! Great work and service in my opinion..but my opinion is like a nose usually has a couple of holes in it! LOL

Mike thanks for the info. I ran into almost the exact same problem motor was going out on thermal replaced motor with proper rpm/hp worked like a champ. I hope you all continue to post these videos it's wealth of info. Not new in the trade (10 years sheet-metal/install/change-out­) but new to service about 6 months. I really appreciate you and Dr. Z

Thanks from a sincere fan
