 All right guys so we've got a new cooling call here on the residential So let's go take a look and see what's going on. It's a little cool this morning It's about 50 something won't get up to a high of maybe a 65 today, which won't be till later today So Let's see what they've got going on It's an older unit. They said they might need a new one Let's go see what exactly is going on All right, we got us a brand new looking Goodman from probably 1990s Everyone's saying it's dead. It's gone I'll just see if it ain't something stupid like a capacitor or a contactor In low on charge just those few small things Let's get this turkey open and see what we've got in here People seem to love these residential videos I don't usually make them because it's going to be one of three things but If people enjoy it, we're gonna go ahead and do it whatever All right, they've already pulled the disconnect here. Let's take a look at this capacitor for starters It looks like it might be swollen, but yeah, maybe not 30 on that one five on that one It's ready for 30 and five. So we're fine on that. I don't think that's our issue That's not good. Is it now? She said sometimes it runs sometimes it don't But when it does run it doesn't cool very well So And before we do that, let's check see if we got anything to ground real quick Kind of do a preliminary check here Nothing there and this is checking everything motors and all So nothing dead there. Let's get between it. Just see if we got some normal looking resistance Grants could do the motor and compressor at the same time 45 Okay Well So we get here She's not starting sounds like Lock rotor amps Let's go to our fat wire here, which is our common Fan runs Now there's that For lucky we'll have amperage if we're not screwed nothing So Might be a wire burned off at the compressor. So let's pop this top and take a peek-a-boo in there and see what we got Pop the top It's a bristle less than a good crystal Let's see if we can get this Turd flinger apart here and see if we can check those terminals. They're not looking Like they've got anything major wrong with them. Just yet. Oh lucky there Lucky there We got less than desirables there. We got deplorables Deplorable connections there. That's not good. Is it? Nope. Not good. Now The question is was they just loose? See if I can get you in there. There we go So I got a yellow Yeah, I know you can't see through well through my hand. Can you? Now wasn't designed very good for videography because they put the freaking suction line right in the way See at the yellow burned up there pretty pretty Got the red Kind of holding on in common completely torqued off That's terrific. Now it does look like we've got some terminals there to work with We're gonna see if we can just salvage this turd See if we can get her another couple Hours out of this thing We're gonna redo all of them because Boy, they did not this is what I hate about Goodman Nothing is serviceable worth a shit You can't get into anything everything is like right in the way. I put this right there Yes, they could have chose a different way to do it. They could have chose a different compressor They're 90s units, which this is probably from the 90s. Let's take a look here serial number Hard to read Looks like it's from 2000s possibly look at the serial number on this It's got double zeros to 2000 so we're 22 years old their older units This that's what most of the so-called old timers hate Goodman for because they're Designs socked. It was like they put it together with a bunch of leftover parts from a garage sale and Man that is just not cooperating. Oh, yeah I think it might be time for a new one There's why And kind of reddish There we go. No room to get your hands in here to anything. There we go That one was halfway halfway decent. That one might be jacked to the maxarone. Yes Yeah That sucks because you're gonna be like tying the salvages You could maybe Maybe get a stub on that thing. I don't know. I don't know if I still have any or not I had some on the truck See if we can get the linesman's on there and twist it back and forth and maybe Get the uh terminal off. I think I'm gonna do is you make this stupid panel off because it's just anything but cooperating I don't know if we Yeah, we got very little of anything to work with here Yeah, the edge corner things are Kind of gone those two there. Okay, so we could probably get away I mean she is not in good condition. I hate putting on those stacon kits on there. They're not cheap Fair enough new air conditioner is not either. We might be able to make that work That is such a crap connection I'm gonna ask the lady what she wants me to do Maybe like Give them the option. It's what my whole thing's always been Do you want me to try to make this thing run or do you just want to get a new one? What do you want to do? It's our 22 the 22 is expensive Hell 410a is expensive. Everything's expensive now Hey, all that free money had a cost, didn't it? So anyhow, let's go ahead and see what we can do here with this Let's ask the lady to see what she wants to do Okay, so there's wires on the compressor that That's what the wires connect to on the compressor One of them is completely burned off. It's real rusted where it connects to I can try to put new connectors on there They'll probably burn off maybe Anywhere from a few days to possibly might last you a year or two They have some other connectors that go around the whole wire thing and can crimp down into it And that might last you a year or two or three But as you said it's getting old Yeah, it's past all right I guess I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it up to you to make the decision Do you want me to try to make it run or do you want to just look at something newer? I want to look at something newer. Okay. I can do that. Um, I didn't want to waste a bunch of time running up any kind of Bill without talking to you first I don't want to put any more money into it. If it's only gonna Work a year or not even a year. It's hard to say What happens is I mean they get burnt on the end there and they just don't have a good connection And then it heats up again and then burns off again The other connector things sometimes they work good sometimes they don't but the metal is pretty rusted So and there's not a lot to clamp on to it's been a good unit. It really has Yep, I mean it's an off-brand too Yeah, it's a goodman. I think it looks like a goodman anyhow So that's that's kind of they sell to everybody type thing something sell it to carter lumbars and things like that So well that worked and the furnace they sold me was an off-brand I wasn't ever happy with that their furnaces were a lot worse It's pretty easy. You had a crack in and I had to replace it that little Bulby thing that makes it heat the heating thing. Oh the igniter. I bet. Yeah the igniter that thing Yep, the hotster's igniter. I've been real happy with this furnace got a carrier Whatever you guys. Yeah, probably carrier. I'll go ahead and get this thing put back together and then I'll be back in All right. Thank you, ma'am I gave her her options. She don't want to do it So I could probably made it run Well, the ladies had no clue what they sold for nowadays and I thought she could get a new one for two grand um I've got some modified crimpers here That I'm going to try out. I've cut them because these were some cheap ones before I bought my clients Ryan from huesman hvac It gave me this idea And they're not as cool as his because I kind of grinded them down a little more than what I probably should have but we're going to See if this works very well, so let's go ahead and get some new connectors on there See if we can get her some Cooling going for next week because it's going to be in the 80s I'm gonna get that slit on there. Let's see how this does. I usually like going from the other side But let's see if we can go from the back side on this one Kind of pinches it down like it should Kind of rolls that barrel connector in there kind of Gets a pretty good crimp on it there It's not coming off So we've got that there like that We can trim To access there off like that That's not coming off. It's That's pretty Pretty tight there. It does a pretty good crimp right there These other ones I don't trust them They've crimped that the same way see they put it on the one side So let's go ahead and chop him off too. I don't want to take a chance Yeah, we've trimmed out in a little bit better. So it kind of Yeah, this wire here is a little less Wire to work with a lot less wire in there. Maybe I should have Yeah, I should have pulled it over stripped it over a little bit. What we'll do Let's strip it longer We doubled it over there. So let's see if that gives us a little more To work with They don't give you a lot to crimp on to here though. That's something kind of stinks And that feels a little bit better For whatever reason they Really didn't That's not bad Yeah, it's not going nowhere No stray wires there Soup and clean up this connectors a little bit It's like a turd in the toilet bowl You know, you should probably do it real quick before I do any more after I've already wasted this much time Let's check the resistance of this compressor. I did tell her, you know, we don't know I don't know how much prices are. I don't freaking price this stuff And I don't know what our availability is. So let's check her Resistance here to ground Nothing there Nothing there One thing bad about not using the gopro or the dji is don't have a tripod Handy, so I'm gonna go ahead and check it good with my Hands and I will check with you and let you know here in a second. I'm not able to get that stupid thing On there. It has no edge to connect to We're gonna resort to this. I'm gonna put one on for now and see if that always gets it running If so, then we'll continue on we've got it in there Got two regular ones on there that are replaced. The one's not obviously the same We're gonna run that all the way up to here that way. We don't destroy this that way if it doesn't work I'm not wasting This and I can use it like it's new And uh get on our merry way Cut it together there Got a new crimp on there See if this thing runs far wasting more time on it See what it does Let's be all safety and conscience here And look at that And the motor's next thing going out. That's nice God, I love it Lord, well, you know what? It works. She'll have air conditioning Let's go ahead and get this thing together and check the charge All right, both caps are missing the rubbers out of them rich Like we all know the cap's only so good Unless it's a brass solid cap, it's not going to stop any leakage But It definitely don't help not having it See where our socks and pressures have hopefully We can get some decent Decent numbers here. We're running 33 degree evaporator, which is great first cold as it is out here I don't even know if I want to connect to this liquid side because Just wasting refrigerant. It's Not bad Get it in there suction lines cold Check super heat, you know, this don't have a txv Ain't no way in the world this thing has a txv Superheat's dropping It's probably overcharged or bad airflow neither of which would surprise me The filter's new If I can tell you right now it's overcharged Or poor airflow The system's on its last Terminal for a leg it works man. She had no cooling. She has cooling now capacitors fine contacter looks like hell, but it's not really burnt And unfortunately when you think you can get an air conditioner for two grand It's you know, I want to try to keep their costs down as much as possible It's worked this many years hasn't blown up yet Probably the reason why the terminal is burned off between loose connections and just age And probably starting hard I would say this one here was officially beer can cold is probably how it was charged It's these videos where I'm working on equipment where people get pissed off and start being judgmental And it's like you don't have a clue. You don't know the backstories on this stuff. Look at that. We're all the way down to Four degrees. It's it's overcharged. I'm not going to be able to redo or dock work I'm not going to go through static pressure Sometimes you just can't go through and do all that stuff if people don't want to pay the money You can't do it. You just get it running and you get out the door It's running a 35 degree evaporator with as cool as it is outside. It is definitely overcharged. What the heck? Let's go ahead and throw on the The liquid line here. It's not like we're going to lose any refrigerant at the point where we need to worry about it 80 some degree liquid temp. There was our official temperature. I think we were like 55 when I got here So 69 79 80 We're we're all gone close. We aren't over by a bunch, but we are Slightly overcharged there when your super heat is right at 5.5. We could remove just a touch. Let's go inside look at the furnace So we've got a nice five inch filter Duck work ain't horrible It's a little spider trunk Well Let's just take out a little bit We'll pull it in the bottom 49 degrees there on that Let's see what a return it is Uh, no, I still I if you want it to work right you gotta give me a second here 54 degree wet bulb I gotta check your tip. Uh, I just probably about another five minutes and I'll get you going I just want to make sure it's right for you because I have a feeling that you know We're probably going to get get through the rest of summer with it. I would love that. There you go Yeah, and I don't want you to have to do that if you don't need to So I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna do my best to make sure it's working good for you And then you don't have to do that so prices go up, but when you're retired, I know I know I'm gonna make sure everything's right I doubt it. I'll probably never be able to retire. I'll just try to fall off a roof and die So we're at 54 degrees 50 degree wet bulb 54 degree wet bulb. Let's look that up on the Chart here with 54 degree wet bulb and 59 degree outdoor temperature. We're looking at about 12.6 degrees super heat Required and we are 36 degree evaporator 35 degree reflect with suction temp So we need to remove a little bit. So go ahead and grab our tank. We'll take a little bit out Coming up there close to that 12 mark checking amp draw Fan is 1 point 0.9 usually it's about 1.1 Check that compressor common. We're running at 6.5. That's not bad Run terminal 4.8 4.5 and 5 amps and the start terminal, which is very yellow Is hard to get to 4.3 They're not looking too bad. There's your 12 degree super heat Hopefully it hangs in there and don't go stupid the other direction Which is always the case that happens with super heat and never wants to slowly go in it either Because way past it or way above it. We are looking a lot better than what it is. Generally Your super heat is going to be a lot higher in this colder weather All to base off the wet bulb there But it's looking a lot better. I didn't remove much it holds there. I am happy as a cucumber in the refrigerator 33 degree evaporator. We're not running Rolled under freezing area especially with the houses cool as it is The outdoor ambient like I said, it's 59 so 69 70 90 80. So we're only 20 degrees over ambient That's a little scary there on that part. That looks like that's a little over Or a little under But like I said, it's an orifice system. You really don't go by much Super heats hanging in there at 14.9. I am going to say we are good We're gonna dump back in what we've got left in the hoses It's came back down around that 12 mark. So I'm happy with that. We're gonna leave it there Let's go in get the remainder of the things picked up here I gotta fill out the bill yet. I gotta put some new caps on and I'll be done Got some different caps here I keep Ones that I remove they're Still have rubber seals and that way I don't have to charge for them It's one of those things where you're trying to keep it a little Cheaper for an older lady that's retired stuff like that, you know I'm gonna do what you can do to help people out. It'll come back So we got that one up and going for the lady like I said, she didn't have a lot of money to put into this thing and Did as best the job as what I could with what we had to work with It you know, you don't know people's situations. You're just trying to save them Save them some money and get things going and it's not just your traditional. I don't want to spend it it's I don't have it and What do you do? You got to do something to help these people out. I mean within reason Which means go on an extra mile do all the things that nobody ever seems to do for me when I harm to do something And uh, just actually put some effort into it So That's what we did today. We've got that one going. We're gonna do that We're gonna run some other service calls here, but that's gonna wrap this one up if you guys enjoyed it You know what to do until next time people we will sit you on the yeah until next time people We will see you on the next one later
