 Our next new heat call here had multiple units only a few of them are labeled So we turned them all on and found out which one didn't come on and that was this one Yeah, that one's not running It seemed like it's this one here not labeled at all it's not even trying to run State of the art equipment here. You got some blinky blinks Yep, three blinks Nothing there nothing to tell you what the hell it's trying to tell you well before we have Diagnostic lights we had to actually figure stuff out on our own so Kill power and let's restart this bad bird And that wasn't enough to kill it Let's try and do in the thermostat here. I don't do it either Still blinking so I'm going to assume it's either the pressure switch Because that's very first thing it usually opens or closes 23 volts it's open Here's the close 6.7 amps and it's rated for 0.7 So she's not running And it's not much of a lock rotor, so let's see if she spins This is not a unit. You're probably gonna get parts for it today All right, so we talked to the owner. He's got quite a few people going to be in here He understands it may not do real great. I'm gonna do a Hail Mary on this baby and see if we can get her loose I'm gonna go with PB blaster here because it's more of a lubricant than it is a Degreaser like WD-40 is you're gonna spray it in there see if we can get her loose It's not real tight, but we're gonna try that and see if it does any good if it don't Not a big deal. I mean, this is a 98 possibly serial number I popped a little cap off there See if we can Have a little squirtage there See if we can try to get it into the bearings in there If we can at least get it running for him for the night Until we can get the part. I'm sure he will appreciate the effort But we're not going to spend a crap load of time on this thing either I tried taking the Screws out of the draft motor and it didn't want to come out. So you must have to take the whole panel out Try powering it back up and When I was down there Yep, they tried to take off there we go Come on, baby When I was down there the thermostat was blank Which means that we do got the right one It's powered by the by the unit. Yeah, look at that We got the pressure switch hose off They just let it run for a bit. Let's stop it Now look at that. It's coasting down pretty good. It ain't coming to a quick stop I would say we're probably gonna get by if not like I said, we ain't out nothing Let's try it again. It sounds like she's got about three speed transmission there Usually always seems to be that freaking front bearing Probably because it's closer to the heat Not too bad Let's go ahead and hook this back up. We're gonna go ahead and chop that little piece off You gotta watch for that a lot of times that will Get hot and then rot But I mean this unit is only like I don't know what 25 years old 20-something years old Wilder beast is kicking it up Only thing bad about the bag out here in this weather is the open top. Let's all the snow in and stuff Well, I've got the new XL something or another that Dave just reviewed coming so It ain't here yet tool nuts taken forever to get it shipped out. I ain't sure what their excuse is but they're dragging their hind end Not bad. High tech redneck, baby This has got the flame sensor and the spark igniter combined together under one igniter Actually the flame sensor and igniter are on two different prongs They're hooked together But I'm not a humongous fan of that Yeah, it's cooled down Look how long she's coasting down the speed there That should have broke it loose good enough to get it by this is definitely not a permanent fix whatsoever All right, let's start over See you can diagnose it without the number four blinky blanks Just got to go back to old-fashioned Elimination the first thing that usually happens is your draft motor There she goes Filters on this beast. I'm pretty sure it is a Direct drive blower, but we'll check to see if it has a belt or not Take a second here to show you one of my modifications. I've got the malco driver One of the only things I don't like about it is is the quarter inch Doesn't get into tight spots because it has such a fat head on it The 516 is fine But the quarter isn't so what I did is I put it on a grinding wheel And then put my drill like that and then just grinded that bad boy down to about the same thickness there on the edge corners Is what the 516 was And uh, it's worked great now for almost a year with no strip outs or anything like that So if you've had issues with it, there's a little tech tip for you At least it has inspection ports so we can check the heat exchanger to see how she looks As old as this is it's surprising and it's still going so strong A little bit dirty, but not bad enough that they can't wait until we come back This one's not real exciting, but that's a lot of times reason why I don't show a lot of these type of videos because There ain't a whole lot to it heat exchangers fine filters are going to get by until we come back And uh, that should wrap this one up for now. Like I said, don't recommend doing that Long term if it does quit again, the pressure switch is going to shut it down You're not going to believe this but that one over there wasn't bad enough. This one here is down too The motor's warm and it's not spinning same freaking thing wrong with this one as what was wrong with the other one So we're going to need to order two of them. So this one here Spins a little more freely. This one's kind of in standby here Off temperature 60 seconds Never have understood why you're by so afraid about let them cool themselves down free cooling free heat go ahead and pull them off at there She's not trying very hard Have 211 volts. So Checked out this heat exchanger too It's uh fine Just because that motor does not sound like uh, it's going to make it and it's too much liability So we're going to go ahead and uh, we'll shut the gas section down We'll leave it so the fan can run so they can at least circulate the heat around But uh, all I did was used a short jumper. Now you gotta be careful It's possibly five 10 000 volts somewhere in that area. You don't want to get your crap shocked So using the insulated pliers and everything else is a Helps but it could still shock the crap out of you. So don't be doing that We're just going to leave the w terminal off that way it can't even run at all And uh, we'll leave the gas valve off before I have them order a new igniter too Oh, that one officially wraps it up. This is just why you gotta be aware of everything that's going on and uh Wow, I think it's honking down Look at everything going on around you because otherwise it really sucked to come up here and get that one going And then find out that uh, this one's down and you got to get this one too So we just try to get everything at one time if you guys like the video Please like share and subscribe check out the subscription section down below For any links to the tools and other miscellaneous information that you might want to know And until next time we'll catch you on the next one
