 All right, we got a geothermal here that's not heating. So let's go in here and take a look at it. Geothermal's nothing more than a water-cooled heat pump. So let's go take a look, see what we got going on. Yeah, it turned on. Let's see what it kicks off on. He ever set the breaker, which wiped out the code. Let's see what code we got. All right, so the fan didn't come on. So we might have a bad fan motor. This is one of the self-contained carriers. Five minutes later. All right, so the motor ended up being bad. Tested it out with my little TechMate Pro here. It's not the fanciest thing in the world, but it works for most motors. And so we went and picked up a new motor, just got it installed. Nice thing about this one is it kind of comes out in multiple pieces. So you can leave the big old heavy blower there inside the furnace. So we're gonna get this thing back in there and we're gonna test the system out and make sure everything's working correctly before we wrap this thing up. This is the pre-carrier infinity system. And I did find we had a wire down there that is burnt. You can see that right there. So we're gonna check that capacitor, make sure that's good, and then repair the wire if, and then go from there. But that's where we're at right now. It appeared that the coil was getting warm, so we'll double check the operation and see how it is before we go on to the next one. Another complaint was when it does run, it wasn't keeping up. So I went ahead and checked the electric strips out. Power is completely off here. Went ahead, went through and checked resistance through the limits and the elements made sure they was all correct and made sure all my connections coming down to the fuses is fine, made sure all my connections inside there are tight, everything's good to go. So we're about ready to go ahead and kick it on, see if we can make some heat, make sure this blower runs. All right, so it came on on its own. Didn't have to jump it after all. Got a Y1 signal there. And the blower's running, which is a good thing. Looks crooked in there for some reason. But obviously it isn't, it just looks like it is. No shake, that's great. So should kick on the compressor here in a second. All right, so we've just begun checking it over. Went ahead and hooked all the probes up. Got everything checked out. We checked the auxiliary heat. I had 20 amps per leg, which sounds right. I checked the resistance prior to that. Air rises right around 24.3. Subcooling you can't calculate right now because I literally had that one hooked. Super heat. There's our supply and returns. That's your split, obviously it's not. No worries why it's off now is because the auxiliary heat just came on. Our subcooling super heat's not listed, but they look pretty much in common for what this unit runs. Water in and out, we have a nine degree delta. And our pressure is about three and a half. It comes up to 11 gallons per minute. You come over to your chart over here at 40 degrees and you go to 12 gallons. We're looking at about 7.9. We're right at 9, 18 to 22. We're right at 24. So air and water temperature are right in line, which is how you generally check these out. Went ahead and got our pressures there on our loop. That's how we calculate gallons per minute. And I've already done detailed instructions on how to do this in one of my other videos, which I can always link up above. So everything seems to be working fine. I'm gonna go up and make sure the wiring's correct and it's programming on its thermostats correct to bring on the auxiliary heat. I just wonder if he's confusing when the blower wasn't running with his problems or if it's been an ongoing thing. He said it's been running a lot. I wonder if it's an issue with the motor was cutting out or if there's a problem with the auxiliary heat not kicking on when it should. So basically what we're gonna do is go up there and double check that and see how that's programmed. Early the next morning. What's up YouTube land? We are living the dream and whole area. So we're heading to a no heat call. It was working the other day and then they quit the other day and then it started working and now it's not working again. So we're gonna go check it out and see what's going on. Oh, we got us a good size zone system here with a heck of a run going to the upstairs. This thing is a pretty good size house. Feels fairly warm in here. And there is the zone panel. Don't hear it running, but the house don't really feel that cold. What is that I see underneath the furnace? Looks like water, not a good thing. Let's try a tree variable. Let's take a look here and see what we got to work with. So we got a 42 and this has got all the fancy bells and whistles on it. So it definitely inducer motor fault, not a good thing. Had a couple of those go bad. And it says indicates inducer has not started within 20 seconds after a call for heat, blah, blah, blah. So let's see what we got going on. Had one the other day that was kind of crazy and it ended up being the water was driven into the collector box because they didn't vent the line going from the furnace separately from the air conditioner and the humidifier was tied in with it and it piled the water up in there. So this looks creative. So there's the drain. So there's the drain. That's an interesting one. I actually got that to fit there like that. All right, so let's see here. At least they brought it in on the side so the cold air doesn't condensate over top of the gas valve. They did that perfect just back and that goes right up the backside of the house. So we'll go and see if there's any issues there. We can go ahead and reset it real quick and see what we get it to do. Since we already kind of know what's going on, looks like it's leaking. There's that old. Nope, that's wet. That is quite creative. Look at that. What's that say there? No glue or glue? Either way, it's not. I don't know why we went and just ran out in a rubber hose. It had been a lot easier to get it out of the machine. We're gonna bypass all the fancy infinity stuff so we can make it run. Okay, so they didn't glue it. So you can take it apart to get the motor out, but I don't know if I like that. I would rather have seen them use a rubber fernco. That surprise doesn't leak either. Put a little bit of tape on that. Get that repaired. Oh, it's got a rubber seal in there. That's how they're getting away with it. All right, oh, we won't have to do that after all. I don't like the way it just snugs up all the way over there. Yeah, I don't. All right, let's see if we can make this thing run. Not here, nothing happening. It's not good. It did not even try. That's not good. I'm gonna make a heck of a trip to go get that thing because I don't need further away from the shop now. All right, let's see if we got power to this. All right, we do have 124 volts to the fan motor. So we must either be stuck in the fan blade or we're not getting control voltage to it. I have never really seen where they do their full blown test to test this to narrow it down because it'd be great if they had a zebra thing or something for these, I'm sure they might have. See if we can get this thing back on there. Okay, probably would need to go grab my probe so I can back probe that thing, see if we can measure some voltage, see if we can find some readings on it. All right, so we have 15 volts going to our outside two wires. So we've got some sort of communications going on, not much, wasn't fluctuating. They could be doing pulse width to where you wouldn't see it fluctuate. I have a bad feeling our draft motor's toasted. Try to give it another shot here and see what we get. See if the control board responds normal. See if we can get a blower signal, blower works. So I know the board's able to control that. I'm hearing a click for the draft motor to run but it's not doing anything. I said we got this bad motor. All right, so I'm down here in a basement. It's at no reception. Notice the flame sensor here looks a little cruddy. So we're gonna go ahead and clean that up too before we forget and then probably clean up that concierge trap as usual. Might see if I can't get us a hose of some sort to kind of make this thing work a little bit better. This would be a lot nicer if they had a clamp on that with a hose and then this would be flexible. Now you've got to love when the guys run zip screws into that. They're so nice and sharp when you're trying to grab ahold of that to get that pipe off. Gotta be careful of that. So the motor spins freely, nothing stopping it from spinning. So unfortunately it looks to me and like we're gonna have to go get a draft motor. So go ahead and get that on, get a call in and see if they've got it. Got the flame sensor cleaned up and we had to take out our piece here so we could get into it because it was a little too difficult to try to squeeze it out. It's always easier to get it out than it is to get it in. So we got that in there, we're gonna get these back in and then I found the diagnosing procedures on this new app that I downloaded that actually tells you to check the DC voltage on the plugs, on the pins here and what it needs to be. The procedure there, you check voltages four and after you flip a switch down here on the bottom and so that's kind of useful. So anyhow, that's on one of the apps and that was something I did. And since I don't want this to turn into a DIY channel which is what it seems like some people think this is from the calls for generators and stuff like that, that's not what it was. It was for people to hopefully either gain some knowledge off of what I'm doing or just enjoy watching whatever your fancy is. So I'm gonna start showing less information I guess from here on out. But we're gonna go ahead and get this taped up a little bit better with some blue monster tape and then we're gonna clean that up and shove it together. That compression fit basically has worked this long I guess. We'll go ahead and put that back like that. All right, so we've got the tape on there and look what's happening. So we've got the flame sensor in there, getting ready to ignite. I can hear the trap making some noises that water's been drained out when I was cleaning it out. And looks like we're good to go. So she's working, which is great. So we'll go ahead and put it back on the controller. There's really not a lot. I mean, you can, like I said, you can go through the diagnostics of the motor here which I'm going to make a copy for myself for later. But having that with you is pretty nice. Now you can see it's dropping down to the low position. You should always fire off about in the medium and then start ranging from there based off whatever it feels comfortable with. So there goes the blower. So we are on a roll, which is great. So we're gonna go ahead and wire this thing back up for the controller. All right, and this is what I like about Carrier compared to some of the other brands out there. You can see exactly what we've got here. We've got a setup of thermostat. We can see what all this happy stuff is. We can also go in here and just see what exactly it's doing. So on the service information, furnace status, you can see exactly what it's running at percentage wise, the CFM, blower, RPM, static pressure, draft motor, leave an air temperature. That's because of the zone panel. All that happy jazz. I know some of the other manufacturers got something close to it, but they've had this crap for a long time. So let's go into zoning status. There's a few zones, three, four, five, six of them. Last 10 events. My favorite part, inducer fault, 91 times. Low pressure switch, which probably is because of the draft motor. High, medium, switch, same thing. So everything has been the draft motor related, that's what we've got. So we'll go through here and check some of the other things, some of the setups, shut off times, all that happy stuff, and then set them up and they should be good to go. All right, so we checked the thermostat out. Everything checked out fine. All the zones are set to where the customer asked for them and pretty much everything's going good. So like I said, this is a pretty decent system. It's got all the bells and whistles and everything seems to be working and operating properly. So on to the next one.
