- On this call...compressor not working, condenser fan motor not working, blower not working, blown fuse, no voltage at thermostat, broken thermostat wire... all in one video... SERIOUSLY!!! Take some popcorn and enjoy the show!
I agree with all the positive comments.. You have a calm, teachable voice. Although the problem(s) was getting severe, you didnt allow that to stress you or panic you. Well Done Sam! 👍
That was a real life scenario that can happen to anyone. Thanks for taking us through the troubleshooting steps. It was extremely helpful !
Great video, 24 minutes well worth watching, you explain with lots of details, very easy to understand, thanks for the the video.
Mister you are a MOSTER.... , excellent illustration thanks man👍
Sam, like another person (s) have said, you have a teaching voice/knack. If you ever got tired of what you do, you could get a job at a University and teach this stuff. You have the gift of the mind and the gift of the soul. Thank you again for this lesson on how to do it right and safe.
One of the very best training videos I've seen especially for a novice. Sam has a lot of patience 👍 and explains it thoroughly. The guy is a great teacher.
Well done.
well except for the part where he uses his finger to push the contactor in.. Not good!
Yo bro great videos man very thoroughly explained and shown no extra b.s. talking to throw techs in training off. I started out for years being an installer and wanted to get into service more so I always come on TH-cam for training and glad I found your channel and will recommend it to my younger homeys in the field keep up the great videos.
Your troubleshooting skill is outstanding, but most of all, your clear narration along with great video footage is excellent. Thank you for putting in the time to provide such great content.
Excellent troubleshooting Sir! You’ve definitely earned a subscriber! Please keep the videos coming!!!
A " short " and a " open " both .
Really fantastic stuff here for someone fresh out of school like myself .
Thanks
I hate when people put "MUST WATCH" on their videos but this is a must watch. Ridiculously educational. Thanks alot
Best troubleshooting video so far , great job.
Sam, you're the man! The methodical way you explained, gives me confidence. Thank you!
Thinking about the next technician who might come after you with less experience is really good to see. Thanks for going the extra step and re-using the original Y wire.
Thanks Sam, you make it easy to follow along and are a awesome teacher. Probably the best hvac wiring tutorial on youtube.
There may be a few genuine and ethical service men, after watching you step by step troubleshooting and servicing, I proudly can say you are the best helping and educating son this world needs. Thank you so much for serving the world. 👍👌🙏🏽
THANK YOU! In my case, the led bulb was not flashing at all, but changing the fuse fixed it! You are an excellent teacher, much appreciated!
Thanks for looking out for the guy behind you!
It's hard to be mindful of the next guy. I do it because many times I am the next guy! Honestly I do enjoy fixing the mess (sometimes)... because it's those situations that keep help you gain experience. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge your help and you showing what you do helps me in my journey in learning the process that it takes to troubleshoot an ac unit Thank you so much stay blessed.
Man I'm new in this trade
You make everything so simple and understandable
Sam #1
You thinking in a possible next tech, man, more people like is what this world needs
Great video! Clearly explained step-by-step diagnostics. Good that you cut the thermostat wiring back to where the yellow wire was cut, so you could wire things back up for standard color coding.
Here's my theory on why the yellow wire broke: when the system was installed, the tool used by whoever stripped off the black cladding from around the low-voltage/thermostat multi-wire cable may have cut a little too deep, cutting into the yellow wire, but leaving maybe one of the yellow wire's strands uncut or just nicked, which would still allow current/voltage through it, but over time, that thin remaining strand eventually broke, maybe due to mechanical motion transferred to it each time the system ran and rumbled.
At the outside unit, it looks like the wire nut holding the two halves of the blue wire together might have fallen off because it wasn't twisted on firmly enough, or was too large for the gauge of the wire, and eventually the mechanical motion of the unit, vibrating the nut and the wires, loosened the nut off of the wires.
I found you due to the scamdemic quarantine 2020 and can say that you are a great technician. You explain your thought process and tell us the step by step process of what you are doing! that's a great way to teach, Sam. Thanks for sharing, from Texas. J
Love the video very clear.. Love Them Don't Stop....🌴😎👍
Great video...thanks
Wow I’ve been doing ac work and I didn’t know blue wire was an extra wire for cooling. Thank you so much for this video. New subscriber !!
This is the best video I have seen ..!
Keep up the good work and I thank you very much.
good job looking out for those that are in back of you that's exactly what this world needs truly this world will be better
I have work on units for a while and I can tell you you man do a great job explaining step by step for some people it’s hard but you make it really easy great job and keep them coming for the rest of the people 👍🏼👍🏼
I knew Rocky Balboa worked as a meat processor and an enforcer for the mob. I had no idea that he was an HVAC EXPERT! I learned much from this video, thank you. I sincerely appreciated your tenacity and use of your IF/THAN logic to solve for the issue. 🧠🧠🧠🧠
Multiple problems that's real world, Thank You!
I'm having the very same issue with my brother's 18 year old Lennox A/C. No 24v at the outside unit. This video gives me excellent clues on what and how to check the low voltage circuitry. I have not been able to find a fuse at the control board at the air handler but I will try again tomorrow.
your methodology is amazing! I WISH everyone who does this, sees your lessons!!!!
You are an excellent teacher/trainer! Most way over my head, but I did like the contactor test - which mine has been stuck every since I cleaned out my condensor coils last fall - contactor was stuck down! Now working THANK GOD for helping me 'unstick it' without fear!
You tell people exactly what they need to know no more no less.
You just showed me an amazing way to isolate problems👍👍👍 thanks!!
Excellent troubleshooting explanation!!!
Pul contractor by the finger - you are crazy man! 240 volts there...
Your videos are very helpful. You know how to explain things clearly to make Spence to us non HVAC guys. Thanks a lot 🤙🏽
Thank u for the knowledge and the patience. I know much more about low voltage short. You r very profound and knowledge, God, bless.
Excellent vidéo
Clear explanation step by step
You are very professional and it’s not only that you does think about the other technicians and you try to make it easy for them behind you. Truly not every technician they think about other. Good job Sam! I am lucky finding you to learn from you 👍
Great video man. Aren't you ever worried that pushing the contactor in with your hand will get you shocked??? And new techs to the business really shouldn't do this!
this guy always explains so well.
That was a good troubleshooting experiences,can you please continue to show more 😮
Thanks for this video! It gave me so much direction! I learned that I had a heat pump with two sources of heat -- and that I probably need to fill my gas tank! My heater wasn't blowing heat and I discovered that my white wire was an aux wire by going out to my outside unit and looking under the cover. I also blew a fuse on my control board -- which I didn't even know existed. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and being HONEST!!!! God Bless YOU and your business...
Great video. Thank replaced an ac contact switch that was fried or faulty, it looked burned. Before that I replaced the capacitor( this was my first time trouble shooting our ac )
Replaced the single pole with 2 pole; it’s all I found at the store and found a video on how to wire a 2 pole as a single pole. Still nothing. Our house has a switch that feeds the thermostat; it was off. I switched it on, put the disconnect back on and went to the thermostat and set it to cool and Shazam… cold air. I can’t believe it. So relieved as I’m in Texas and now o even have a spare capacitor and extra ac contact ( too cheap to not have spares) and now I have no worries about wether it might fail in the summer which I doubt and if on the chance it does than I can fix it again. So if I can than you can too
Learning all my trouble shooting from you now on! Great job
He has a great idea in troubleshooting
One of my Best trobleshooting video
You are very good at teaching the young ones in the field keep up the good videos
I am presently having the same type of Problem & hopefully it can be resolved.....Thanks for your Video, it was very Helpful...…!
Thanks for the help. Mine ended up being a break in one of the t-stat wires going out to the condenser took me like 20 minutes to troubleshoot and fix the problem and now it works like a charm
Awesome video!! Worth every second , every minute
Great skills & technique! Thanks for sharing!
You're a true professional
Great video! You explained everything really well. I appreciate that.
Excellent video! His thought process while troubleshooting was very well explained.
Awesome thorough job Sam!
very good fault diagnosis. ..like your video. Thanks bro
Your videos are very helpful thank you for sharing your knowledge Sam
Very enlightening video! Thank you very much!
Your a good man the way you properly fixed that yellow wire
sir, i am really glad to know that people like YOU are out there, making life easy for lot of us new comers. Bless you! stay safe.
I’ve been watching all your videos. Great job & thanks for taking time to help us out. I’ve learned a lot.
Very good troubleshoot video
Very concise and very well explained ... Great to watch these vids ...
Great job, thank you for your instructional videos.
Nice!! That is one of the true tough jobs you will run into, and you made it look simple. Wish I would of seen this before I ran into it for the first time in the field. Very good video for those in the field.
Good job, good video...great details which many videos lack.
Most excellent. Thanks for the lesson
Good job Sam!
Nice Job, Excellent troubleshooting on the system,
you are good at hvac , and videos
Freaking Savage!!!
I was looking up dog chews up thermostat wires from condenser unit & I came across your video.
Well worth watching!!
Excellent Video. You explain very clearly exactly what and why you are doing what you are doing. Diagnosis was done with perfection, great result. Thank you. I just subscribed.
Def a trade professor 👍🏼
Thanks again Sam!
The blue wire was working. I would have just left a note at the board. You had a short at the condenser and a blown wire coming into the mother board. I have seen this many times where a circuit wasn't reading the full voltage necessary to pull in the contactor. Also reading the flashes from the light...this is really helpful!
Awesome video! 👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome teaching video
Sam, great video. One suggestion, summarize at the end your procedure. A recap is very helpful.
Great video I'm going to do this since it seems to be the exact problem I'm dealing with and after I do il come back with my results
Excellent VIDEO and clear explanation. Some techs when they strip wire instead of stripping from the end back 6-8 inches, they cut around the wire that far back and pull the sheathing off, and in so doing they may have cut the wire as you experienced.
Liked your video very very informational 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. ..thanks man!!
You are the Best!
In all your videos you keep talking about fuses I still have to find one and I looked everywhere and I know I have a low voltage short but where??Thanks for all your videos!!
Sam, You the man, You are definitely very knowledgeable and you also have very nice and easy way of explaining details. I just wish you were in the Northern VA area. I am just having the same issue my Contactor is not pulling in because of 24 volts but may be I am wrong because I was checking 24 volt DC but after watching your video it seems, it is 24 volt AC. Right now its raining like hell in northern VA so I can't confirm the voltage but When I press the plunger the condensing unit starts. Looks like, the issue is of 24 AC volts. Thanks for very detailed video on this topic, I really learned a lot.
Outstanding video!! Tnx pal
Good job motivator
thank you it was lots of help also thank you for all your time really appreciate you
Great videos SAM, the way you explain every detail. and how you take your time to do so you're awesome, and you are actually showing us with the problem happening on every day. thank you sir keep up the videos will keep 👍👍up good bless
Great job, honest service!
Thank you! I truly to remind myself that I need to be mindful that one day I may need help or assistance and I don't want someone to rip me off by being deceitful! You'd be surprised if I told you the stories I run into as to how this or that company wanted to charge such and such unnecessarily.
Best Video really valuable, thank you for sharing
Excellent video thanks.
Great,great and nice video!
Thank you sir for excellent explanation.
Great job keep up the good work 👍👍
Nice job, I thought it would of been the contactor at first.
Very Good Video!! Thanks!!
Muchas gracias muy bonito video que Dios le bendiga!
