- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Top 5 AC problems and how to fix them. I go over five of the most common air conditioner problems and explain what needs to be done to get them fixed. With each AC problem, I reference a few videos for that specific problem that will be helpful in getting it fixed. Whether your air conditioning is not working at all, barely working, not cooling, or half working, there is a good chance that that one of the things I cover in this video is the issue that your unit is having.

I cannot tell you how this helped. I spent $48 on three items that went bad after a lightning storm. And this video, and it’s if, then, else approach , was priceless!! I get to call and cancel the appointment in the morning. You CAN do this!! Thank you you valuable gift giver! ✌🏻🎵❤️💨
Best hvac channel in the industry.
PERIOD
Why go to HVAC school when you can watch this guy's video's. They make more sense and a hellava lot cheaper.
And I can understand what he’s saying 🙏🏽
School was a waste of time!
2023 no cap
It’s literally required for me to watch some of his videos in my tech school😂 very knowledgeable tho
20k just wasted more debt for absolutely nothing…when this a great men is doing all this just for likes😂😂
I watched all the videos of Master Jay...whenever there's an AC problem, I quickly diagnose and fix the issue...my wife asked me, "How do you know so much about AC?" because 15 years ago when I brought my first house...I didn't even know how to change an AC filter.
0i00u07
He is a genius. He teaches better than my coworkers.
VerySmartkid
Just getting into community college for HVAC & I can’t believe how much I’ve learned from your videos, your an amazing explainer and person. Wish you all the best and Thank you for spreading your knowledge🙏🏻
You mean giving away knowledge that we have to pay for going to school? Your new to the field and what you see as helping the senior mechanics see it as taking money out of our pockets. I have no problem with homeowners learning how to fix things but go pay $20k for a year of school to learn. Not learn from a junior Hvac tech like this guy. He sells out his field for a TH-cam channel and likes.
@@INKDnARMD bruh you must not do this fr. Constantly evolving technology. New refrigerants. New SEER ratings and most of our supply is kept sold to industry professionals. Homeowners know they don't have the time or desire to learn enough to work on their AC in 93 degree weather. And if it's a refrigerant problem they have to be EPA certified to buy and work with the refrigerant and will still have to call us. No shortage of money out here cuz of this guy. Maybe a few lost capacitors and some sprayed down condensers🤣they ain't bout to bust out a manometer💀
كلامك صح محمد
@@INKDnARMD you’re ridiculous for blaming this guy for you losing money. Any tech worth their salt will make money by being good, honest,and establishing clientele. I bet you play people for having batteries in the thermostat. On top of that, most companies charge $500+ for a $30 capacitor. You’re just mad people are learning about your dirty tricks
@@INKDnARMD Face it Mr. Soranno! This guy is the cream of the crop. Happy and content with his life as well his knowledge of his trade. Wealth far beyond U.S. American $ssss
Nothing like waking up to a scorching hot house. Thanks to this, i was able to easily diagnose my capacitor was bad. A trip to the hardware store and 10 minutes install, boom cold air again. Thank you so much!
Me too ! Rock on !
LOL you must be public enemy number 1 to the heating and cooling companies . Thanks for helping the homeowner keep some of the cost of owning a home down your doing a great service wish there were more people out there that are willing to share their knowledge with others. God Bless
Amen
Yyou are so clearspoken and make your subject logical and easy to understand. Excellent videos!
What you need to do is put together a package deal, sort of like dvd segments and sell them. 12 dvd sets in a professional package and I think you will make a million. Thanks for your instructions. As a Maintenance person, you have helped me save many hours of hardship and cost to the company with your tips and tricks. Thanks again. I hope those adds are making the money you deserve.
You are very good at explaining all the a/c issues. You explain everything and you show everything. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much. I have lived in the same upstairs apartment unit for over 10 years. The outside ac unit has never kept up with our triple digit days in the summer, but this summer it is getting warmer in here faster than any past years, when temps outside are not triple digits yet. My landlords are telling me they will repair the thermostat which they already inspected last month. Have a feeling this is the capacitor, and now I have more ideas to point them to fixing or replacing. Current ac unit is over 20 years old. Being a woman in these situations can be horrible, so, again, I thank you.

Excellent video Man… thanks for posting.
man, i was just watching a similar video how to fix my water heater and it save me over a grand, just changed $20 stuff... thanks a million!
I did have a faulty capacitor! we are experiencing 106 degree days here, this saved me so much time and money.
This was excellent for helping me troubleshoot, im a low voltage electrician so I certainly am comfortable with figuring out my ac issues but didn't have a lot of experience in doing so, doesn't get much more clear than this guy's video. Thankyou man
The best explanation ever , if you ever decide you want to train at any trade school, I definitely will sign up for classes with you
Totally agree
Me 2
Dude, I’m a girl mechanic and usually only work on cars, trucks and boats. My husband and I recently bought our first house and I’m figuring out all of the house things now. These videos you make are amazing. I’m much of a DIY-er and love to fix and understand things myself and you explain things so well. I will continue to use your videos for future use!
Amazingly and explained
Man you just don’t know how much you have helped me!!! Just started in August and I’m learning more and more everyday 🙏🏼
I’m in the trade and this guy has helped me a lot with leveling up!!!
This guy has been a huge help since I’ve started my service tech job, thank you and you better believe I subscribed
I hope you make a lot of money with your videos. This was an excellent video. I'm sure you have saved all of us a lot of frustration as well as costs. Also, for all of us DIYers, you are helping us to understand why the thing doesn't work. Kudos to you!
Hey thank you so much for all of your videos. I really appreciate all the quality info and how you present it.
You are awesome! Easy to watch & learn. Thank you for your hard work & generosity in sharing with the rest of us.
Best HVAC/R channel in the industry, AND I always like to see your explanation about AC simple and Easy to understand. You are best and I really appreciate you for making this king of informative videos.
Surprised that contractors weren't in the top 5. As always, great video as always. Tnx,! 👍🏻
Dang bro. Greatly appreciate these videos! Started working as a maintenance technician in an apartment complex and I've been dealing with nothing but HVAC lol
This guy brings great energy to his comments.
ONE OF THE BEST TROUBLESHOOTING VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! NO NONSENSE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! THANKS, A MILLION JAY!! MY AIR HANDLER WAS RUNNING BUT WARM AIR COMING OUT. THE COMPRESSOR AND FAN STOPPED WORKING OUTSIDE. SHURE ENOUGH IT WAS THE CAP, AND NOW I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT MYSELF!!! WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE RELAY SWITCH TO SINCE THEY WERE BOTH 8 YEARS OLD. THANKS AGAIN!! TROY~
This channel is gold. Electrician here looking at getting into HVAC.
Sir! Thank you so much! This video lead me to your thermostat video, and the reason why my A/C unit was inoperative was due to low battery power. Changed out batteries and BOOM, A/C comes on.
Thanks again.
This guy just loves to share his knowledge, god bless u bro!
I just started a maintenance job excellent information!
This was a very helpful video. I did not have cold air flow, even though it’s a brand new AC unit, and discovered my air filter was super dirty and stopping the air flow. After changing the filter, it still didn’t cool the house. I did a little more research and found out that if you have a clogged/dirty filter it can cause condensation to freeze. This keeps the air from flowing. So, once I changed the filter, I turned the AC off overnight to let the ice melt and now the AC works perfectly. I wanted to share in case someone else has the same issue.
I found ice outside on the AC unit (in the middle of a hot summer day) and it felt like there might be some ice in an air duct.
Solid video.
Concise and very informative.
Topics/issues covered thoroughly and well explained.
Best of the videos watched trying to troubleshoot a/c problem.
Amazing explanation. You can tell the preparedness of this and the other mentioned videos. Congratulations
Awesome video!! Everyone should use this as an example of how to give instructions! So good!
Thank You, TH-cam has many great creators in the HVAC space but I come back to your videos all the time. If Word of Advice TV has a video on the subject I am not looking anywhere else.
You’re the best! Thanks for the video!
Really like yoour videos
5 starts
You are wealth of knowledge! Thank you for sharing! I bet techs hate you LOL. Great videos!
great information, great way of presentation! You SAVED me!
Great job on this,best one yet on utube 👍🏻👍🏻 thank you for giving us your time.
Your awesome!! Great information. You should be an instructor, you give a clear presentation!!! Thank you and GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Great video. Will refer and share. Thank you again for sharing this information
God bless you and your family.
I have 2 years experience of heating system, now I just got into the trade for AC. Thank you so much
First time watching. An impressive and very knowledgeable young man. Glad to see individuals like you around. I am certain you will be a successful businessman. Great job explaining each AC problem.
Going to be real successful giving away free information! I’m sure the senior mechanics in the industry love this kid. Also just to let all you diy’ers know that failure to do maintenance and opening up your service compartments to access electric for sure will void any warranties you have on your system. Good luck!
Smart guy! big help. Thank you.
Great video, explanations, and advice. Thank you!
Man I slily wanna tell you you’re very good God bless you
Simply Outstanding! You are a great educator. Very Thorough in your approach. You need to write a book and make it available for homeowners that have some mechanical skills, but far from you level of experience.
Excellent ! Thank you for this brief - to the point video !! Great Job !!
Thank you the trouble shooting video. It help me. You are very informative on the issues of possibilities of what can be wrong with the ac.
Very good tips!! Just in case I like to leaning thank you !!!
Thank you. You literally just saved me from a horrible night's sleep.
Jay, you are making some great diy videos! These are great for people not familiar with these repairs and you are doing a great service for them!
Is it a great service when you go to school and extra classes for certifications, spend years and over $20k to learn the industry and acquire the skills and then have someone come give it all away for free? Service to some but a disservice to the industry. Is he liable if you get hurt or fry out your controls?
Hey how are you doing
@INKDnARMD 16:28 I'm sure the industry isn't hurting from his "free diy video's"
We all should thank you for sharing information of DIY how to fix our AC problems. I Say thanks and I will share with others.
Excellent !..... truly great....the "big picture" that can lead to other detailed vids, either your's or others'..... a great service !!!!
One of the best videos I’ve seen all of them every thing is well explained 🤟🏻
Nice job on your explanations!
Very methodical instructions 🔥🔥🔥
That joke was so bad that it was good 😜😂👍🏼 i just fixed my dryer watching one of your videos thanks, i ordered the heater assembly and replaced 😲🥳👍🏼 keep up the good work.
Great job maaaaan proud of you
great helpful vedeos especially on summer seasons .. Thank you
Thank you for the lesson sir
this guy helped me fix mine with his other video, it was the contactor switch! tested with no voltage going across when closed. I changed the switches on both units and new dual run capacitors as preventative maintenance, cleaned out fins...awesome
THANKS AGAIN , JAY , FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION ....🌅🌅
Good video, always fun. For a clogged drain I started using a shop vac (wet/dry) to suck the drain out. I had better luck than blowing especially if it had a vent on the line. I can just cover the vent with my hand ( or tape or something if I can't reach it). I carry a small one on my service truck.
Thank you for the tip! That's usually a better option then the compressed air. I had a small bottle of CO2 that was easier to carry around than an air compressor and had much more pressure so I usually just used that. Thanks for commenting, have a great week!
me too. shop vac. worked.
This guy is awesome! Thanks for the great advice.
ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS keep a spare capacitor or two on hand especially at the beginning of summer and the Temps climb. It will definitely be worth it!!!
Awesome Vids!!!
Where would I buy a capacitor?
@@shanedm3396 Hey Shane, I get mine from a wholesale distributor here in NC called United Refrigeration but they're available on Amazon also, hope this helps.
Great Attitude and Information shared.
Thanks Leroy. Much appreciated my friend. 👍🏽🙏🏽
Thanx Jay. You're still da man!
Very helpful. Thank you
One of the best teachers.
A stuck condenser fan motor is exactly what happened to my ac. Replaced it with a new one. Had to change my cap a month before that after finding out that my old cap needs replacement as well. All thanks to you. Btw, my unit is close to 18 yrs old.
Thank you. Great video.
Thank goodness for the information
this is basically free HVAC school. love ur videos man 😎 also i hate it when air conditioning parts going haywire.
Thank you for your awesome tips..
Thank you for all your info it really helps me a lot
Thank you this video is very useful....
Thanks for your review
Thanks Dr. Chris. 💯👍
Like most of the time, we just see far and not close to us!!! It’s really our “windows” where we have to see first hehehe, thanks for your great videos, God bless you and your family and business.
Thank you for your adviced.😀👍💜
The video was helpful. Thanks
Thank you Jay! 1yr old “new” outside unit has died today 98 degrees! Great info before I call installer! New sub! 64yr widow.I’m gonna try the spinning fan hack. As far as I can tell all systems are go inside. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🇺🇸
👍👍👍
I always like to see your explanation about AC
Easy to understand
Thank you! Glad to hear that the video is easy to understand. I try my best to not make it too technical.
Thank you for this video!
I always forget about ceiling fan switch up or down winter or spring and I Google and ur video literally was so awesome 👌👏 u explained it perfect short and sweet ty I Definitely subscribed to your channel u seem like a smart guy 💕💯👍
thanks for the info and well say
The best so far video I ever watched about A/C thank you so much
Thanks for the info,
Awesome info! I was searching for a good hour with nothing even close to the symptoms on my A/C, but just a couple of minutes in, as you are building up to the suspense (and I'm like omg he's gonna say the same problem I have any second now!!!), boom! there it is! A bad capacitor!
Lol great comment, happy to hear you got it fixed, and I love the username! 😂😂 Thanks for taking the time to write something, stay cool and keep the wife happy! (I have a friend who, whenever he sees my wife and I disagreeing, tells me: Jay.... Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?) 😅
Great teacher/Video
all in all , i think you have a very good video , you just didnt cover much in my issue , which was the , HVAC float switch, also known as a condensate overflow switch or AC safety switch, is to prevent the drip pan from overflowing if the AC drain stops working properly. The AC float switch gives your AC unit the ability to detect if there is a clogged drain line and it shuts the AC off.
Awesome, detail!
OMG I'm so happy I found this video. Heat wave going on and my ac stopped yesterday. I got lucky and it was the capacitor. Fixed it in 30 minutes thanks to you!
Great videos and throughly explained step by step you fixed my AC 3 times times already with these videos and saved me money love it .. you sound like European gent so which part of Europe you from if you don’t mind me asking ..
