Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Love the videos! I’m studying for my masters test and plan to take it real soon. Keep making great videos, they get me excited to finally start my own thing!
I like the raw feeling of these service calls. You can't do everything perfect in the real world. Especially when the lack of maintenance has created a problem that requires so much time to correct. Equipment owners are silly. That Goodman split system probably had compound issues.
Thanks for the feedback. And I totally agree. The best part about this is, he denied the maintenance agreement and will end up calling in 4-6 months for another service call which will cost him more then the maint agreement
If the system runs long enough, yes it will. I've seen it a couple times. I got to watch it happen through a Plexiglas panel 👍. It does take a long run time but this is one of those applications where the system runs a lot from people going in and out of the space.... good question Rico 🤝
@@VictorofHVAC I'm sorry that makes no sense. The only way water will freeze is if it gets to 32° or below. Why would the coil get to 32° or below just because there's water in the drain pan?
No need to be sorry, Let me explain. When the coil has water in the pan that is sitting against the coil, and there is a longer run time due to heat load factors, The saturation temp will slowly drop. When that happens the coil will eventually hit that 32 degree temp and start to freeze up. The only reason the evaporator coil doesn't freeze while in normal operation is because the moisture that's being removed from the space is warm, which in terms keeps that suction pressure/saturation temp up. (It's like running a chiller with no water movement across the coil) (This same theory is what happens in a walk in cooler with a clogged drain, just happens a lot faster because the return temp is much colder)
@@biblebloopers946 Another way to understand it, a wet coil will restrict airflow across it. If the pan is full of water & that humidity is near 100% coupled with nice long run time, suction saturation can creep to 32 degrees due to the airflow/heat transfer issue. Inadequate humidity removal from the air, that store was probably humid as well.
You change a filter drier if it is creating a restriction in your liquid line. Best practice would be to change it if you open the refrigeration system up for anything ie a repair. Other than that, don't fix what ain't broke.
Everytime you open the refrigerant system. So if you have to change a part that is in the refrigerant cycle, the liquid line filter drier should be replaced.
Found your channel recently. Subscribed. Great videos! Found a split system unit this weekend with the indoor fan motor not running (bad cap). AC system running slugging refrigerant as no evap fan motor to provide any superheat. I would expect the compressor to fail in the near future. Is that your experience as well with no indoor fan motor running and AC running?
Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the channel brother. My experience with a slugging system is always that the compressor has took some damage. But usually the system can be thawed, and fired back up with no issues for many years depending on what kind of compressor it is. (assuming the cap was replaced)
@@VictorofHVAC thank you Victor, really appreciate the feedback. I envisioned the compressor slugging juice for too long and that destroying it. Great to hear your feedback. I really like your content and always look forward to your videos! Thank you!
Those wet/dry vacs with an attachment (easy to make) to pull through the drain line are pretty handy for those sort of things. Good channel.
100%.. I've got a little craftsman shop vac that goes right to 3/4" pvc and it means business. Glad your enjoying the content 👍

Awesome!.. I wish you the best of luck... Thank you and welcome to the channel Dan.
Thanks for the video!
You bet! Thanks for commenting. It really helps the channel grow
Who would’ve thought all you had to do was finger the drain line!
🤣😂🤫😎👍✌
I was actually thinking...man I'd have on some rubber gloves! 🤢🤮

Business as usual on point 👈
Nice job
They really piggy backed that minisplit off their a/c…
Good eye 👀🤣😆 .... yes, they did
So if the drain line is clogged and the water backs/sits in primary drain pan it will eventually freeze?
If the system runs long enough, yes it will. I've seen it a couple times. I got to watch it happen through a Plexiglas panel 👍. It does take a long run time but this is one of those applications where the system runs a lot from people going in and out of the space.... good question Rico 🤝

muy buen video, Gracias solamente me falta algo de ingles eso si muy Buenos videos, subscrito
How often should u change dryer. Filter. ? On ac units. ? Thank you in advance

Your welcome 👍
Thank you so much for the reply and your time have a great day:)
