2 sided tape or red rtv silicone works great to seal the heat exchanger where the gasket was missing. Also, red rtv silicone to hold any gaskets into place when you're doing the job alone and don't have a 2nd set of hands.
Big job to do alone especially getting all those parts up on the roof back-and-forth on the ladder. You did an excellent job and you did a great job filming and explaining it congrats I hope he’s paying you 70 an hour.
I like to put the hand warmers on top of my hands in the gloves. Helps heat the blood a bit and keeps my fingers from freezing off. Also was the flame sensor just knocked out of alignment?
Funny how the large carrier rooftops come special ordered with stainless steel heat exchangers but the little guys come with aluminized steel. I never understood it. They also shouldn't have the evaporator on the return side. Water will run down the duct anyway when it does freeze up with plugged air filters.
My heart goes out to out to you 🥶🥶 but better to do now before the polar fully drops in on NY !!! Nice job!!! An don’t ask me why but equipment grounding is Key .. Here in southern Michigan? Units that have run for years are not lighting run a 16 gage ground wire from panel box ground to the the unit an she will fire AN the unit were grounded when installed 🤔🤷🏻♂️ Teck Service said to run a extra ground direct from panel box ground bar to the unit an? Works great 🤦♂️ I am sure it is something on the power company but too time consuming to get them to do anything . In the last 39 days we have had 23 units not fire a run the grid wire an she works fine …
Was it the way you grounded the flame sensor? 🧐 Excellent job Daniel. Get yourself an expensive pair of insulated coveralls and keep in the van for days like this
Unrelated suggestion, I try to put a rag in the union whenever I do those kind of things. When you pull the old exchanger, high risk of getting junk in the gas pipe, then clogging the gas valve and/or orifices. Nice video! Greetings from Quebec, Canada. Been a combustion tech for a few years now. Love it!
Wow, big job to refurb this. A lot of parts and work. But better to be safe than sorry. ❤ By the way, did you check the pullies on the blower and motor, the motor was vibrating. Think that the belt are sticking in the pullies. Like the growes are worn out.
I do not know why you did not remove the piece you had at a 45 degree (divider between heat/ compressor compartment) to make it easier to install heat exchanger. Between heat exchanger and RTU you can use high temp caulk to help seal up air leaks. Not sure why you are replacing gas valve and gas manifold
@@randyhoff3676 because the cost of the manifold is insignificant in the total cost of the job. And the gas valve is just as old as all the other components and will fail soon as they all do. I didn’t remove that panel because I was fine without removing it. I didn’t use high temp “caulk” because it’s messy and not necessary.
@@DCHVAC The gas valve soon will fail soon ,what, I have been doing HVAC for 40 years, after replacing a heat exchanger on one of these unit, I never went back and replaced a gas valve or electrode assembly. Just because it is a cheap part, that is not a excuse to replace it
Why are you so against him replacing all other components? It’s good practice why not. My service manager is 71 (just retired) been in the field 50 years and his had me just order everything as well when replacing a heat exchanger.
@@jorgebelmonte6408 What is the chance a gas manifold will go bad? Are you going to replace blower motor, limit switches etc. Where do you stop? Then are you a service tech or a parts exchanger? For me I like to have a solid reason to replace parts. The part being old or cheap is not a good reason for me
It is one thing to be a nice guy to leave the heat running, but once you found that heat exchanger compromised it should’ve been red tag tagged and shut off for liability and safety reasons.
I know everywhere on the world everybody doesnt care about safety, until something happens. But for work like this you shoud not be alone. I was once TV technician my job was to mount satelite disches on to customers houses. And after i fell down when i was on ladder, disch in one hand and climbing up. I was lucky that day. No broken bones. Just beaten up. And i broke that satelite disch,.. Afther this i have fear of ladders and heights. And i just cant do that job anymore. And you are too young for wheelchair. On that roof when you working you can be zapped, poisoned, cut yourself and bled and nobody wil come for you to help. Be carefull ! And have happy new year. 😎
@@DCHVAC Yes that helps when someone wants to find your body. But if you need help in minutes that can save your life you realy need another person to watch your back. And yes I know it is all about money,...
@ there’s always risk of danger. I work with 240 volts a lot All the time that could kill me. Should I have someone standing over my shoulder while I drive too? Or when I take a shower? That’s pretty ridiculous.
@@DCHVAC You drive car on the roof of some building ? And if you crash car you have good chance to survive just because somebody make that car safe for you. Working on roof is realy dangerous. And i realy know what 240V is. And it was not good experience,... What i want to tell is SAFETY First !
you almost need a work bench up there to work off of. be careful walking up there. flat roofs are worthless and they soon leak. why do they put them units up on top of a roof. people are idiots. thanks for sharing. good job done.
The biggest reason I like Carrier. Easy to service and job security.
Found Mike's channel when he took you in and started recording, keep it going bro doing God's work💪🏻😄👍🏻
You’ve come a long way from when ya started, so neat n clean n knowledgeable! Keep up the great work
I always find a crack at that 3rd or 4th cell over where it attaches to the plate.

My guess is paint on the burner bracket was preventing a proper ground where screw/ ground wire was attached. Enjoy watching your videos.

i hope you checked the gas pressure on the new gas valve with low and high fire
If everything was connected properly, you had to adjust the flame sensor?
Flame sensor installed facing the wrong direction ?
Forgot to hook up pressure sensor tube for inducer motor?
Doesn’t have a pressure sensor

burners were not aligned?
Nope
An issue with the gas regulator maybe. I seen that in that pass.
@@marcorecinos8629 nope
I don’t know why the flame sensor wasn’t working properly but I would guess it was the problem.
It’s the way u had the flame sense wire routed, next to back of inducer motor n caused some type of interference with signal?
@@themovecrew7201 nope
was it the double ground wire? or not in the flame?
Nope
Very impressive. Was it a loose wire on the startup?
@@anthonyscarpantonio8195 nope
Never bled the air out
@@WswRefrigeration nope
What was it?
Was it the way you grounded the flame sensor? 🧐
Excellent job Daniel. Get yourself an expensive pair of insulated coveralls and keep in the van for days like this
Not that, and thanks for the tip
Glad your back happy New year
Good stuff Daniel. Carrier is known for their heat exchanger quality. Unbelievable. Nice video.
Thanks for the latest Post, Daniel. Keep up the Great Effort. Happy New Year. 🎈🎊🎆
Maybe flame sensor was upside down
@@silvestregonzalezmendoza9201 nope
Is it me or the flame rod was not in its correct position?

Hey Daniel as always great video happy new year to you and your family God bless and stay safe
good video buddy keep up the good work
Nice , neat job & nice vid ... Just be careful when working alone ... Thx
So uhh are you going to tell us what the issue was w/ the flame sensor? 😠
Waiting for the right guess
@@DCHVAC fair enough! any hints? electrical issue? Was the "mistake" in the video?
I would say your flame Sensor is on the wrong way.
@@GrizSandoval nope

We can’t shut down people’s heat in New York
you cannot not unalive them either.
1st😂😂😂
Did you forget to turn the gas back on?
@@grahamwakefield1509 nope
ground
Nope
@@DCHVAC Ughh. Was wire connected to sensor?
That only thing that i see wrong there is that you cant run the heat with out the panel on blower compartment cause the fumes get suck in the building
@@marcorecinos8629 ? What. The supply is going directly outside?
@DCHVAC before you change the heat exchanger was running on heat without the panel. But good video.
@@marcorecinos8629 yes the heat exchanger was open air takes the path of least resistance and that would be directly outside.
YOU MEAN THE LAST 20 PM'S DIDNT IDENTIFY THAT LEAKING HEAT EXCHANGER? clearly because condensation had nowhere to go and it rusted itself to death
No. It is an old unit and this is what happens to all aluminized steel heat exchangers when the evaporator coil is on the return side.
