 What's up guys, so today is December 23rd Friday This is the day that we had some crappy weather hit pretty much the whole east side Well pretty much the whole country far as I know I'll warn you. I ain't chipper today. This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech tools quality tools essential support All right guys, so today is not a good day. It's Friday and It is negative six degrees out. So it was 47 degrees. It literally was no snow anything yesterday Got a no-heat call up here on the roof. That one seems to be working. I think it's a Linux over here that took a dump If that's number three That one appears to be running Yep, it's warm And a handy dandy carrier Well you can tell We've sucked in quite a bit of crap As usual nobody labels anything it's enabled down on the thermostat, but not up here That's putting out heat. Is it not blowing is this even it? I don't know look how strong that one is Versus that one I've worked on the cooler here, and that's about it That's running Burners look like they're running. They don't look as strong as what they should be flame sensor looks dirty like it's got red stuff on it It really don't look like it's going as fast as it should don't even know if this is the one Good enough till we find out what we're doing We're gonna have to go find Find out where unit three is because these aren't labeled. None of them are labeled It is blowing some heat just not a whole lot of heat. It's not cold So that but it's not real warm It's about gotta be it I Went up on the roof right out through there So this actually seemed like this would be Yes, that's cool. It's nothing major So what it seems to me from the hatch to here it's got to be the train unit here goes the dock work It looks like it's going that direction can't be for certain but that one seems like it's running the burners look weak But this one over here seems to run into so do we have a belt issue? Let's find out Me she's a slip in but Not as bad as it could be Why is that coil look like it's wet Because the air conditioners running either the air conditioners running or we're sucking in cold air from outside Gotta love it. I know it's sucking in exhaust fumes. It's diluted. It'll be all right But it's six degrees negative six out here. I'm not wasting a shit ton of time on For a tighten the belt up. We're not gonna do it the exact perfect way Okay, let's check to see if the air conditioners running or what's going on or if the economizers open I Coil felt really really cold and like I said it seems he pumping out heat but the Air must not be very Must be getting conditioned by the outside air. That's what it really seems like Yeah, we had palatious snow ice and snow and rain last night December 23rd is where we're at 2022. Oh, we're definitely sucking some outside air in that don't help us a whole lot Does it when you got negative six degree? temperatures the economizers that far open Somebody cranked it open because of the pandemic thing we had Everybody's worried about getting fresh air in the building when he gets down to temperatures like this It finds every flaw in the whole building if we can find the minimum position It's a lot close more clothes than what it was. Let's see how It feels downstairs now Where everything I normally would do all the extra stuff clean flame sensors and all that nope not today Can all come back for it Yeah, half the Half everybody get out here today a x-37. That's still not it Good as it's gonna get until that nice and warm there. I'm pretty sure this is the right way Not as warm as what that one back there was here of top three Down to 59 probably because of the alright, so we're going to Check the check the duck temperature see if it's raising up because it's hard to tell I I mean that That has to travel all the way across and around to Get to the area where it's warm out So up there we got since 98. I got 97 there. I Mean this is debatable. This is part of that. We're not that I worked on Now here. It's 70s And we have 81 right there 86. I'm pretty sure this was the one I first looked at and it wasn't warm 76 I just see it doesn't feel doesn't feel warm to me because Skin temperature See was it 58 earlier and that's off by a little bit anyway, see where I said it. That's weird 76 holy crap All right, we watched it for a little while right 86 area It's already came up another degree. So we've got it. This must be the one Yeah, I'd like train you know in the front of it if I thought it would help, but yeah or not All right, well We're head on to the next call Guys, this is why I have camera in the truck But you can show them how they just about lost their employee and the truck I got hit head on by a semi Watch out. This thing's not to be trusted. All right. Yeah, yeah a little bit Let's tear into this old ream 90% or Three inch to two inch on the way out Almost seems pointless, but that's how they did it. Let's take a look here. Let's see what kind of filter we got Always got a little when they bring a return air in like that that just ends up hitting only half of the filter It just kicked on You can hear the draft motor having a real good old time there. That's getting ready to go out Because these are so bad about getting air from the outside that people usually just pop those out on these Especially when you're down here in a basement like this Let's get this thing opened up. I have a feeling this is a flame sent issue flame sense issue We've made a sound That it was not establishment flame Do you got room X wire? So we should have a ground Got a Steel a common. I don't miss this part Usually, I'll just jump thermostat. I don't trust the freaking thing and that usually lets you know if you got any shit with it or not As your conditioner, that's I got it loose or in a goose That's loose That's loose They're all freaking loose. That don't sound good at all They're nice You got it jumped out. We got some sort of problem down here To all right number two comes back as pressure switches open These were notorious for not closing But that one I don't that one there tends to Do right off the draft motor the other one Goes to the pressure switch to the heat exchanger and then usually this here potentially could be frozen I mean, it's definitely not warm in here at all Problem with the 90% or is having it in a place where it's not conditioned space So we don't put them up in attics and stuff like that Unless you're on heat tape them and even then you're really asking for trouble That's open to Alright Well, I'm gonna go potentially outside and check that We can blow through that Let's see if I can get my pliers on there Okay, let's pull this off. What happens is it plugs up with condensate and it doesn't want to drain Sounds like somebody See water comes flying out It seems like somebody glued us All right, I was able to blow that out. That means that'll help drain all right Let's go outside and see if there's something an exhaust stack A lot of times what I'll do is I'll just pull it up See if it'll fire with it disconnected a little fire with it disconnected then we know something an exhaust stack kind of simple as that Obviously you can't leave it like this unless you want to die Blinking two times see whether it fires or not it goes All right, so it's firing But soon as we plug this back in we want to make sure we clean the flame sensor another thing we're running to sometimes is when The Gas meter outside they'll freeze up sometimes and that thing sounds horrible Furnace, I must spray some oil on it Looks like somebody has That's gonna be the next thing the motor's gonna go off on thermal overload because it's gonna overheat See if I can get a picture of this model number, I don't know if we're gonna be able to do much with them Okay, so it just dropped out here for no good reason so I think the Draft motors are going out on it. I'm gonna go outside and see I mean it could be just the Something in the actual draft motor too, which we can take off But man, oh man, I think it's just freaking junk. It needs a new one so I just looked inside there at the At the heat exchanger it seems like it's all right. I don't know if anybody's gonna have one these motors or not They might I'm gonna go outside and check the exhaust All right, so Got the wind We bought this thing Scream's Hatch Air intake Not too bad, but like I said, it's pulling air from inside the house Feels like it's running. I'm gonna go grab my Can of oil and see what we can do and maybe oil this thing up All right, so I sprayed a little oil in there It's it's not squealing now But that's just a temp fix and it's been dropping out Flame sensor wouldn't surprise me if it's like I said dirty Watch it for a minute. There's just so many things wrong with this flame staying good The yellow light down there usually is for the flame So we're good on that. I'm gonna clean this up anyway Got a little that actually ain't too horribly dirty Not too horribly bad and this thing goes into a complete shutdown on it It's Goes into an air of some sort That thing is we got motor and I wonder if we get other issues with the heat exchanger It's kicking back on again To you tell you something to on these old ones the put the pressure switch in line with the gas valve So that will totally throw you off if you're looking for a pressure switch fault However, this pressure switch is actually on the pressure switch Circuitry to tell you that's what the problem So I actually use liquid wrench because it's actually got oil in it. It's an actual penetrating oil. It's obviously no Solution to versus replacing the draft motor getting the front bearings are gonna be a real bear. I didn't Really didn't try to get to it. I didn't even get it. So we've got other issues So you gotta go grab the manometer and try to get that See if that's the problem. They are the switch which is not closing. It's gonna have to be this one right here So it's not even calling all the time. Let's go upstairs and find out what's going off the thermostat all right, so he says it's been making that squawk noise for a while and Just wants to get it to go run make warm whatever This is an ecobee when upstairs it was calling, but there's some locks on it and things like that that's slowing things down So let's go ahead and zero it giggles, I'm a cheat here. I just kind of pull right on the We're pulling two inches And that is only rated for Normally I put my tea in there 1.3 looks like a 1.3 to me So it should be pulling in So either way it looks sounds like we're gonna go get a freaking switch And I use my universal switch and nobody ordered me a new one like I asked for so There's a lot of it looks like corrosion down there in there. Let's Check it with the meter see if it's closing. Hopefully don't short out. It's closed So it should be well, let's tell you what what we're doing that. Let's go ahead and see if it opens when we remove it I have a pressure checker on this meter mine On my monometer On plug it it's undone so it's it's working It's obviously got an issue with the On the switch basic troubleshooting here. Okay. Look, so we've got That's stupid that's stupid eco bees dinking around not giving me a call Four wires here. Oh That's nice. Look at that. There's corrosion down here in it That's why you wouldn't lay that right down there in the bottom That's nice. So you got multiple problems starting up Okay there Get to the metal now At 23 volts on that one 24 25 whatever there and measuring across this should have none And I have none so right now it should be closing It should be calling and running and there goes out looks to me. We need to get a new pressure switch. I Really don't feel good about that That thing here. It's got corrosion down there in it What's happened condensation or whatever has dripped down onto it should have mounted it up over here away from all that crap All right kick back home. We're doing negative 2.1. It's ready for one point or 1.3 For plenty there. It's running now. So I would feel a lot better if we had a Better pressure switch on there also If that could be would work like it's supposed to instead of having to be jumped out They should have just ran a new damn five wires to let extra crap on the point where How much effort would have taken to rain a wire from here over the cross spacing up the wall Now it may be damaged may not even be able to use it See you got multiple issues. I think going on here Yeah, look at all that nice corrosion there, so they got themselves a relay in there Let's see if maybe we can clear some of this Corrosion off of the pins Because all you guys a diode you got to Looks like see the capacitors cut two capacitors here the disc things look like Looks like MOV a little miniature metal oxide roasters to absorb spikes and shit And see all like frozen there. I have a feeling you're not gonna be able to get old of nobody. It's the weekend Christmas is sat Sunday What I can do Switch this pressure switch for this one By past that then more or less make sure that the secondary doesn't get gummed up And they order the other one to come back put it on Otherwise, it's it's a no-go All right, so the supply house has one It's gonna take over an hour or something if we go get it and come back because it's the distance away And so I am going to put the other switch on there And get it going while I weigh I'm gone. They can have some heat and bring it up the temperature in here And I'll switch it back when I get back instead of destroying the Little crimps I just left them So we'll deal with that when we get back. This will be good enough to protect it for us making shirts We're running and he obviously in the range that they want But that will work until then Do not bypass a pressure switch for any reason Because so what we're doing is the only reason why I'm doing this And it's still not a hundred percent unprotected It'll be good enough to get them going until I get back That'll keep them running it also give me a chance to see if that thermostat's gonna stay running I'll see if maybe they have a wire eliminator kit like that for that thing too. I'm there Other ways he's got the paste to run the wire and I'm not running wire today. I'll run a thermostat Set in a duck work And we'll sit what the hell damn electricity went off That's nice Well, hopefully kicks on see if I would have just jumped it It would have just tripped out and Seems it wouldn't went to restart and it would have known that was jumped and it wouldn't happen Drap motor seems like it's okay Whatever Okay, so we're back. We have a new pressure switch here another one made in Costa Rica Comes with wires Bracket Jumper thing They said it's been running since I left which is good because it's 55 up there since it's getting a little warmer the Adapter thing I found one from Honeywell, but I bought it, but unfortunately it says it won't work without you have to use the ecobee one Not the old ecobee start all over again, you see it's putting the water out. Let's drain it down here. That's good This thing ever kicks on here we can get going All right, the draft motor started It's running And everything's backed away it was Not really the way I like it, but I mean the whole furnace is just beyond ready to be replaced I mean it's things at least 20 plus years old Had better days Then they already got that popped out so if the intake gets plugged up it's just gonna pull it from here And the way this basement is it's not gonna hurt for it to pull any air from down here It's almost pointless Stephen had it to begin with with this is pretty much all open down below down here All guys that's gonna wrap it up. It's 442 Friday Summer 23rd, it's called a wrap later
