Hey John, good job on that call. Just wanted to throw out a helpful tip for those that may not know, the lugs on the contactor can be swapped if the old contactor used the crimp on connectors and the new contactor has lugs for bare wires. The lugs can be removed by completely removing the big screw and a smaller screw will be underneath which will allow you to pull the lug off and you can use the screw from the old contactor so you dont have to cut the crimped connectors. Nothing wrong with doing it the way you did though, especially if its out of warranty. I've done it that way many times. Anyway, just wanted to point that out for some newer techs that might not realize it.
Good trick is to cut the tabs off the wires on the load side. Leave the crimped section and you can screw it under the lug. It creates a nice tight fit.👍🇨🇦
Are you going to make anymore videos?
Great job John always enjoy your videos
Glad to see you back 😊nice repair 😊
And I love that new Klein multi screwdriver/ nut driver. That 1/4" hex adapter in the handle comes in so handy for all kinds of stuff. You can shove anything with a 1/4" hex in there and lock it in (great for a 6-inch extension). I stopped carrying my Malco connext after I got the Klein. 😮
I've been wondering if they work good. Now I need one. 😁
Hey man, im still pretty new in the hvac world and was looking thur ur videos and found u worked on tons of mobile homes before. Trying to fix something for a family member of mine in a mobile home. He has a leaking problem with the downflow furnace that has an a coil above the blower. When ever you put the blower compartment panel on, water gets sucked out and over the drain pan and onto the top of the blower housing. Ive checked the drain line and it was clear, doesn't have a trap tho. It just goes straight does with flexish coragated line. I thought maybe its pulling so much air it's pulling water too so i lowered the speed to medium but it still does it. A few things i can think is that when he replaced the blower motor, winair (hvac seller) told him the motor will be an exact replacement but could have been the wrong horse. Its a 1/3 hp fan right now and i don't know what the one before was.
i also did notice the triangle sheet metal panel that goes on the face of the coil has a rusted up hole in the corner that the water loves to get sucked thur. Dont now if that hole would cause the problem or not.
If uve seen something like this before or might have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated 👍
Was waitin on you to post a video, I’ve been gettin a lot of bad contactors on air handlers . Learned to check ohms from u
Hope all is well John.
Great job !
Nice work
He has no shame
That'll do er' 💪😎👍
Thank you China.
CHYYYY na
@@realSamAndrew if you zoom in real close you could see the serial number on the side. It looked like #CH1NA 😎👍
@@sknight0391 I'll take your word for it. You've always had the best equipment 😉. Mine can't do that kind of detail 😂.
I feel obligated to mention that China is capable of making very HQ stuff when they want to. "Milwaukee" (name only) tools are made there, and so is Navac. Many people are shocked when they read the fine print.
Do you put tie-down self taping s and blue tapcons with the screwdriver too?
Was this a Comfort Medic Gig?
what's the average range (ohms) of a good contactor approx?
I’ve seen 10-20
Someone needs a new wire stripper Jesus that was hard to watch
Nice job
