I saw this video, when you just put out there, and I must tell you, that I thank you so much, for this info. God bless you, (my youth). I NOW HAVE A HEAT PUMP SYSTEM, and live in Poinciana, FLORIDA. I can say with confidence, it is because of this video, that I am able to make a living, and help my neighbors. I have learnt thru the yrs., how to completely diagnosed, trouble shoot, and electrically fixed or repair, any heat pump system; And I do it as a COURTESY for my neighbors, who can not afford to pay. You are really one of the best out there on you tube still, thnx again.
You are very welcome! I love to hear that you learned so much in the last few years and are now even able to help all the people around you! I'm glad that this video got you started on this path! Stay warm my friend and may God bless you and yours!

I really appreciate you, God bless, and take care. You know there is one question that i would really like you, or any other out there to answer, if possible, and it is this. Can you explain fully about THE "C" terminal, ("THE COMMON"), on the control voltage, to the outdoor unit and the t'stat? Why is it that : when trouble shooting, one has to read between the "c" and the other designated terminals, and NOT FROM the "R", which supplies the power? i just can not get to understand it fully, yet, but it is what i know has to be done. I hope i am making sense. Thnx again.@@WordofAdviceTV
I'm a semi-retired physician and home DIY'er. Ever since an HVAC contractor charged me over $700 to replace a $100 TACO circulator pump, I try to do my own repairs. So far I've done another TACO circulator pump (5 zones), an aquastat, two AC dual run caps, a condenser blower motor, and routine condenser coil flushing with Yellow Death . Your videos have been very helpful.
I know this video is old, but this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My A/C unit was a mess of wires when I opened the cover. None of the wires were organized at all. The capacitor had completely blown and there were a bunch of disconnected wires I wasn't sure where they went. This is the first video I've found with the potential relay and start cap wiring mentioned AT ALL. Very well organized and easy to understand video. I've been digging all day. THANK YOU.
WOW ! YOU ARE ABOUT THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO CLEARLY EXPLAIN HOW TO WIRE UP A SYSTEM. I HAVE WATCHED DOZENS OF VIDEOS AND EITHER THE PERSON IS HUMMING OR TALKING TO HIMSELF, NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR WHAT HE IS SAYING OR SAYING VERY LITTLE TO INFORM THE VIEWERS WHAT HE IS DOING. SOME SHOW A VIDEO IE: HOW TO INSTALL A PACKAGED UNIT AND ALL THEY DO IS SPEED UP THE VID IN HOW THEY ARE CONNECTING THE DUCT WORK, THE CONCRETE BASE, ETC. BUT NEVER SHOWING YOU STEP BY STEP LIKE YOU HAVE DONE THE CONNECTIONS FROM THE POWER DISCONNECT TO THE UNIT. THANK YOU SOO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VID. I AM ORDERING TOMORROW A UNIT AND I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY INFO IN WHAT WIRE GOES WHERE AND NOW THANKS TO YOU I KNOW. AGAIN THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS !
I noticed this video is 4 years old. I just want to let you know that you are appreciated. I know it’s not easy putting these videos together and it takes time- after work/off time. I wish you the best most success and thank you for paving the way for so many techs and DIYers!
How’s school? I’m starting it in 2 weeks kinda worries lol don’t want to fail but I want to do this as a job . I’ve always been bad in school my school will be for 9 months
Let me say to young man, you definitely saved me and my family and hopefully my electric bill. I just replace the fan motor after 13 years of living at this house. My fan motor had gone out. And i didnt take a picture or anything. And did exactly what u said. Ive had a number of ac/hvac guys. And nobody caught it. In 4 hours my ac has cooled this house 8 degrees. Never in all my years. Has it cooled liked this
Im from The Bahamas, Im a young adult still in high school but Im practicing to major in HVAC. Thanks to you I learn more and more about this earyday. You are basically preparing me before I go to College or Trade School. Thank you alot. Blessings
Oh man, if you are already watching videos like this and studying on your own time before going to school, you will be a super star in HVAC school! It will really help that you already know a lot of stuff, that way you will be able to ask better questions. Good luck with school!!

good luck Marc. U be ok, i too from Freeport, HVAC is a good trade. Yea, Jay is good ppl.
I’ve come full circle! I started trying to fix my ac unit at the beginning of last year but had no idea about electrical. I then somehow spent the rest of the year learning small electronics/dc circuits. Then deviated to ac and home wiring. And then to now, I understand everything you said completely lol

Alfredo, this is exactly my story too. It is AMAZING, and I have to give thank to this channel, WOATV. He has helped me and taught me so much thru the yrs, that I don't know if, I could be where I am today, without his teachings. He is just awesome. I fully understand almost everything now in the electrical field, but I still struggles with the refrigerant side a bit still. But, Good luck and keep on doing ur thing. God bless.
The white board makes you look like a teacher. The mystery of compressor wiring finally revealed. Glad it was you who explained it to me. This is my "go to" video if I ever need a reference.
Happy to hear a good review of the video from you! I used a diagram similar to the one I drew a couple times in the past and it really helped. So I'm happy to be able to help others with the same! :)

It is not often, that I meet good ppl, in this world, i just added you to my list of GOD send ppl on this earth. Thnx Brother.@@WordofAdviceTV
As a HVAC student this is such a good video. I learned a lot! it really puts the text in the book to a physical demonstration. Good video and work explaining it!
I'm going to second David Pace's comment below. Best video I've found after two days of watching HVAC videos. AC went down three days ago here in Texas and this wiring diagram perfectly matched my system. Very simple, very clear, solved all my problems with $100 in parts (capacitor and same 5-2-1 booster). The hardest part was keeping red and black wires straight. Red is Run on my system so I wanted as many wires coming off the run connector on the relay to match red as well. Excellent work on this video!
This video saved me today. All service companies are booked solid today, and several days out, but I was able to diagnose and fix the problem myself, thanks to your excellent presentation. Thank you!
Just bought a 521 capacitor and relay. Your explanation of the wiring was a lot easier to follow with also the help of the wiring diagram that came with the kit. Thanks a million.
You saved the day for me, sir!! LONG story short- When I installed a smart thermostat at the beginning of this past winter, I apparently took off more wires than I needed to, from the thermostat hook up terminals in the furnace, thinking they were just old, unneeded thermostat wires. The heat worked fine, but the AC wouldn't turn on, and the time has finally come to address it. In the process, I messed up even more wiring and other things, including blowing a fuse, but I got that all resolved, and the AC still wouldn't turn on, not even by jumping it on the furnace's thermostat board!! I watched this, along with some of your other videos, and hearing you mention two 24V wires going from the furnace to the AC unit set me in the right direction, so, I quickly found that one of the "old sets of thermostat wires" was actually the two wires needed to control the AC unit outside, and this video told me where to connect them!! The AC works great now!! Thanks dude!! ✌️✌️😎😎
5yrs in and u definitely help me up my game! From installer to tech. Which the more I understand how it works the more naturally it all comes to me. Wish i could of worked with u first hand!! I started not even knowing how long to tear some tape. Straight to the field as installer new construction. Think classes will actually still help me? I get a kittle iffy about wiring when has all the extras and transformers and everything. Other than that i can put anything together. Build any duct and change any part as long as i took it out.
JAY IS THE BEST. i am not shouting, just excited. Yes, indeed, it is so exciting when you know that they are good ppl, out there in this world, especially, the way things are going now, with the ELECTION, and ALL THE TALK. But GOD BLESS THE USA. No body is above the law of THIS LAND. No ONE MAN, with a CULT FOLLOWING, of negativity, can destroy THIS PLACE. PEACE AND LOVE will WIN AGAIN, as IT ALWAYS DO. God is love. BLESS YOU ALL.
Yes, I have watched a few of this guys videos on u tube. I actually went to a hvac refrigeration school and pretty much learned what the key parts if the whole system the first time around Wireing to the electrical functions transformers and rolesccotrol boards take on confused me at first because the school I went taught everything electrical with low end electric down with the small end of a transformer. .Also being in Arizona, AC units were not taught with the evaporator function with blower moter from the furnace. This guy does a god job breaking down the wiring in a basic way so the more complex stuff falls into place. For knowing all common the 1 120v leg is black the other leg to other side of contactor is usually red or white. I also got from this guy how the start on the compressor is wired to herm/compressor other capacitor. Jason explains this well, making it much easier tofoow the other connections. Hope he keeps doing these ,ha broadened my understanding. Thanks Jason!
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE FEAR OOF APPROACHING AN UNWIRED AC AWAY!! I KNOW HOW TO REPAIR AC'S, BUT NEVER LEARNED WHAT YOU'VE SHOWN ME..THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
Great tutorial boss , we have longer summer here in northern Cal and this will help to those who is entering in this Hvac trade. Right now I am training my nephew asking him to watch all of your videos and draw the wiring diagram not once but many times . By the way I have trained 8 people and this guy is #9 . All of them are very successful running their own business in northern Cal
Thank you! I'm honored to be able to assist in the training! Especially since you sound like someone who would know 5 times as much as me if not more. I appreciate you referring my videos and am happy to hear that all your trainees are doing well! Stay cool! ;)
This is a super video. You cannot ask for a better explanation of how AC wiring works. Clear and to the point. I gave him a thumbs up and subscribed. I think we should all push this video to go viral.Thanks
Thank you for explaining this, I was replacing my neighbor's AC condenser fan motor and he told me he got an OEM replacement which he did not, I forget the brand but I ended up finding out the motor that was replaced was a 3 wire and not a 4 like he said, so after seeing this it was a breeze getting everything wired correctly and now he has good, working A/C again. I still need to clean his coil out though, it's filthy but he insisted I come back tomorrow for that. I had originally ran it as a 4 wire but I had a feeling it wasn't right even before starting it, so I told him to wait while i verified. I'm just happy its working. New aftermarket replacement was a 5-wire; yellow orange brown black purple(blue? I'm really colorblind), black went to the black side of the relay line in, orange went to the common leg of the two-stage capacitor, the common leg of the capacitor also had a wire going to the red side of the relay. Purple went to the fan (F) leg of the capacitor, and the brown and yellow just needed to be wired together, I verified this on the wiring diagram on the side of the motor. I also checked to verify the capacitor (which was had been replaced before he was told the fan motor was bad) was the correct size and micro sievert designation for that motor. The compressor was wired into the hermetic portion of the capacitor and was also wired into the relay and looked correct so I left it as it. I've been doing A/C work on and off with my dad for years but he's done most of the electrical and he's not always the best teacher for reading schematics, this was the only thing I could find that explained everything in a simple manner and I appreciate it. Evidentially I saved him 600$ so he was happy. I'm just happy to learn something from this, thank you for your work.
Thank you sir, you have articulately dissolve my answer and the difficulties l was facing. Now am able to do maintenance and repairs. Thank you. Thank you.
The best teachers are on TH-cam and here is one of your finest👍🏽 feel bad my younger years was so twisted n messed up, I was a late bloomer back in school.
Great video! straight to the point and very clear. This is what I'm learning in school right now, we're drawing out the condenser wiring to understand where everything's connectected to. Next week we will start doing drawings of the Air Handler. But this is helping me so much more than our book and I'll watch it over and over. Keep the vids coming, they're great!!
Great explanation. You remember me when I was an air conditioning technician in my country(Cuba). I had to make some works like you explained in this video. You are an amazin AC technician. Great job👍👍👍.
Hey J, looking healthy brother God bless you, I see your path is opening so many ways, educator, business owner...Been gone for a bit cause of health issues but I'm good , waiting to see if my financial aid awards me and I will do the course. I delayed myself a year but i'm still here. let's see what The Lord says, I will start fall in a few weeks..still nervous but I'm gonna try it if I get in. Great job!
Hey David! Welcome back! :) Yeah, I can't complain, things are going pretty good on my end. Glad to hear that you have recovered and may be going to hvac school soon! That was your dream so I hope it come true for you bro. That will be an exciting time! May God bless you in the new venture!
@@WordofAdviceTV Amen J God bless and prosper you and your beautiful family...thank you for lifting my spirit . here watching your videos and getting pumped. Rest well my bro.
Hi Jay, thanks so much for your great informative videos which I've been following over some years, I'm From Australia, but im in Iowa, Des Moines at the moment for work from Nov 25 2022 to Dec 19 2022, staying at the Sheraton hotel. I remember, from your videos that you moved to lowa, I would love to meet you in person and shake your hand, you're a Great Teacher, Thankyou Sir for Word of Advice

Me too, this man is awesome!!! I really appreciate him. And, now I got his name from YOU, I am thankful to you too. Hey, JAY UR AWESOME, thank you so much. I hope you see this.
Excellent Video. FYI... for future reference (If my memory concerning schematics & electronics serves me correctly) I think the way to deal with those intersecting wiring lines is to (use one of the lines) and simply draw an arc over the other one of them.
@Jo Tu Thank you for pointing that out! I do know how schematics are drawn, I did it that way so it looks a little cleaner. But I'm glad you mentioned that for everyone else
I'm new to this field actually in class now trying to learn this video was sooooooo informing there's more I definitely need and want to learn but video was exactly what I needed
Excellent communicator with a great teaching style blended with a sound working knowledge of his subject. I'll be looking for your videos for future projects. My AC condenser unit is a 36 year old Carrier Model 38EN-036-340 manufacture date 9/87. I couldn't find schematics or wiring diagrams online. The start capacitor was showing corrosion around the top. I went ahead and replaced the start and run capacitor and then the contactor was sticking. It would pull in with a light tap, so I replaced it as well. My AC condensor has one more piece wired in beyond your last diagram... it is a Supco TD-73 Delay on Break timer. I would love to know more about what it does. Your diagram here was most helpful. My system is back up and running. Thanks!
Spot on, excellent. 5 Stars across the board.I forgot how to wire, and was thinking about this and here you are. Great content, good drawing, good info and explaining, straight to the point, and enjoyable. HA, you were wiring the coil, and I'm looking at the common on the cap, whew I'm glad you didn't leave me hanging.
That was great. I only suggestion I have is when u draw crossing wire over the other with out touching, draw that line when u approach the other line instead of just crossing go to the right or left Do U over the other line and keep going . That way it is would be known those wire not connected each other. Thanks for your wonderful presentation though
It helped me to configure my unit after motor and cap change. You should consider teaching these and other machines you service if you can take the cut in pay. Thanks
Very helpful, thank you so much for everything , I started working on AC recently and I have learned a lot with your videos , keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏻 it’s going to be a great help for others.
I apologize I learned this back in the 90s so the way your wiring this the start winding is always in the circuit and it will shut off on overload because of current . This is why I enjoy hvac you always learn something and ask questions maybe someone will read this and tell me what I am missing
Thanks for nice video. My friendly suggestion is Title it part one then continue on adding accessories (lp. Hp,solenoid valve and so on ) then heat pump and defrost board .link all your videos or have a playlist. This way you have a nice playlist for wiring of hvac, even connections available for furnace as a heat source.
@@WordofAdviceTV you welcome. you can add part 1 then continue for part 2, you can predraw it on paper in order to explain it easier than taking time to draw.
You can draw with thin pen on paper bcz it does not show on camera but it helps you to draw it with marker very fast this is another option. Thanks for your efforts for helping others.
and it gets more complicated with a heat pump and low pressor and high pressor limit switches and with heater crank case he he he he, did you show them how to connect those wires word of advice tv? don't get me wrong you are good and you make a good instructor.....it would just be nice to try and include everything when it comes to wiring a unit.....
Great video for people. Just a suggestion you should show the ladder diagram so they could follow along with the video also should the capacitors separate
I know how you feel man.. I remember spending a lot of time, frustrated, trying to figure out messed up wiring. It would have been a lot easier to just gut it and start fresh using a simple diagram like this one.
@@WordofAdviceTV I am trouble shooting a 2 1/2 ton heat pump installed about 10 years ago sits on a 4 story roof on the beach in southern California in Playa Del Rey. Corrosion has set in the indoor coil is dirty and the condenser will not start I traced power from the main panel inside the apartment to the roof disconnect, all good I have power to everything accept the contact relay will not engage when calling for heat or cooling. I am replacing the main circuit board in the condenor its a 'Source One' board. I am also replacing the T-stat because it's falling apart. I need top get the condensor running to check for refrigerant levels or any other issues. Do you have any advice thanks
@@havitcold Oh boy.. Sounds like that one has potential to become a pain in your side. But hopefully not, it would be nice if the board and thermostat fixed the problem. If not.. Then I would find what else is in series between Y coming from the thermostat and the contactor coil. 3 amp fuse, Low pressure switch, high pressure switch, condensate overflow switch, etc... Different units, different switches.. Perhaps something in the 24v circuit is tripped. Also, did you check if the contactor coil had 24v going to it? Sometimes it will have voltage but will not pull in. In that case the little plunger is either stuck or the contactor coil is bad.
Glad you are liking the videos! Thank you for watching. Since I don't have a heat pump at my house, that video would be a bit harder to film. If I get a chance to, I will. What exactly do you want to know about a heat pump though? It is very similar to an air conditioner after all.

You helped me rewire my AC. Turns out I had a broken wire for the common and it was intermittently cutting off the 24v to the Contactor. Thank you!
One of the best videos that explains AC wiring on TH-cam.
Yes indeed.
oh yes
JAY IS THE BEST. i am not shouting, just excited. Yes, indeed, it is so exciting when you know that they are good ppl, out there in this world, especially, the way things are going now, with the ELECTION, and ALL THE TALK. But GOD BLESS THE USA. No body is above the law of THIS LAND. No ONE MAN, with a CULT FOLLOWING, of negativity, can destroy THIS PLACE. PEACE AND LOVE will WIN AGAIN, as IT ALWAYS DO. God is love. BLESS YOU ALL.
I think you wired the common on the capacitor to the wrong side of the contactor. Should be same common connection as the common of the compressor.
Simply an awesome video.. Clear, to the point, and extremely easy to understand... A master at his trade who also knows how to teach - A rare thing.
I'm From Iran, The most sanctioned country in the history of the world, Thanks a lot man for your generosity
Yes, I have watched a few of this guys videos on u tube. I actually went to a hvac refrigeration school and pretty much learned what the key parts if the whole system the first time around Wireing to the electrical functions transformers and rolesccotrol boards take on confused me at first because the school I went taught everything electrical with low end electric down with the small end of a transformer. .Also being in Arizona, AC units were not taught with the evaporator function with blower moter from the furnace. This guy does a god job breaking down the wiring in a basic way so the more complex stuff falls into place. For knowing all common the 1 120v leg is black the other leg to other side of contactor is usually red or white. I also got from this guy how the start on the compressor is wired to herm/compressor other capacitor. Jason explains this well, making it much easier tofoow the other connections. Hope he keeps doing these ,ha broadened my understanding. Thanks Jason!
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE FEAR OOF APPROACHING AN UNWIRED AC AWAY!! I KNOW HOW TO REPAIR AC'S, BUT NEVER LEARNED WHAT YOU'VE SHOWN ME..THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
Great tutorial boss , we have longer summer here in northern Cal and this will help to those who is entering in this Hvac trade. Right now I am training my nephew asking him to watch all of your videos and draw the wiring diagram not once but many times . By the way I have trained 8 people and this guy is #9 . All of them are very successful running their own business in northern Cal
Thank you! I'm honored to be able to assist in the training! Especially since you sound like someone who would know 5 times as much as me if not more. I appreciate you referring my videos and am happy to hear that all your trainees are doing well! Stay cool! ;)
Do not any thing makin bai all playin famliey care no need right lifed ok
I have a feeling I'm gonna be thanking you when I pass my HVAC course.
youre a great teacher man, really appreciate your videos. Ive learned more from watching one of your videos than i do in my entire HVAC class lol
This is a super video. You cannot ask for a better explanation of how AC wiring works. Clear and to the point. I gave him a thumbs up and subscribed. I think we should all push this video to go viral.Thanks
Hi I am hvac-r Technician, I like watching one of your video before I go to bed. I learn a lot from you. Thank you
Thank you for explaining this, I was replacing my neighbor's AC condenser fan motor and he told me he got an OEM replacement which he did not, I forget the brand but I ended up finding out the motor that was replaced was a 3 wire and not a 4 like he said, so after seeing this it was a breeze getting everything wired correctly and now he has good, working A/C again. I still need to clean his coil out though, it's filthy but he insisted I come back tomorrow for that. I had originally ran it as a 4 wire but I had a feeling it wasn't right even before starting it, so I told him to wait while i verified.
I'm just happy its working. New aftermarket replacement was a 5-wire; yellow orange brown black purple(blue? I'm really colorblind), black went to the black side of the relay line in, orange went to the common leg of the two-stage capacitor, the common leg of the capacitor also had a wire going to the red side of the relay. Purple went to the fan (F) leg of the capacitor, and the brown and yellow just needed to be wired together, I verified this on the wiring diagram on the side of the motor. I also checked to verify the capacitor (which was had been replaced before he was told the fan motor was bad) was the correct size and micro sievert designation for that motor. The compressor was wired into the hermetic portion of the capacitor and was also wired into the relay and looked correct so I left it as it.
I've been doing A/C work on and off with my dad for years but he's done most of the electrical and he's not always the best teacher for reading schematics, this was the only thing I could find that explained everything in a simple manner and I appreciate it. Evidentially I saved him 600$ so he was happy. I'm just happy to learn something from this, thank you for your work.
Thank you sir, you have articulately dissolve my answer and the difficulties l was facing. Now am able to do maintenance and repairs. Thank you. Thank you.
The best teachers are on TH-cam and here is one of your finest👍🏽 feel bad my younger years was so twisted n messed up, I was a late bloomer back in school.
Great video! straight to the point and very clear. This is what I'm learning in school right now, we're drawing out the condenser wiring to understand where everything's connectected to. Next week we will start doing drawings of the Air Handler. But this is helping me so much more than our book and I'll watch it over and over. Keep the vids coming, they're great!!
Your videos are putting my kids through college. More videos please, I need more work!
Great explanation. You remember me when I was an air conditioning technician in my country(Cuba). I had to make some works like you explained in this video. You are an amazin AC technician. Great job👍👍👍.
Thank you!! Glad you liked the video! :)
Thank you. I fixed my ac I was connecting a wrong wire and wouldn't turn on. It's fixed now I caught the wire I missed because of your video 🙏
Bro your a genius... I'm learning so much from your videos... Thank you, hope to one day help others how you are helping me
My hvac work orders are allot more easier. You have a clear and concise video for each problem I run into. Keep up the good work
its good to see young people with their head on thier shoulders. great video I have lean a lot thank you
Thank you! Glad you liked the video, thank you for watching and commenting!
Hey J, looking healthy brother God bless you, I see your path is opening so many ways, educator, business owner...Been gone for a bit cause of health issues but I'm good , waiting to see if my financial aid awards me and I will do the course. I delayed myself a year but i'm still here. let's see what The Lord says, I will start fall in a few weeks..still nervous but I'm gonna try it if I get in. Great job!
Hey David! Welcome back! :) Yeah, I can't complain, things are going pretty good on my end. Glad to hear that you have recovered and may be going to hvac school soon! That was your dream so I hope it come true for you bro. That will be an exciting time! May God bless you in the new venture!
@@WordofAdviceTV Amen J God bless and prosper you and your beautiful family...thank you for lifting my spirit . here watching your videos and getting pumped. Rest well my bro.
@David Delgado Thank you brother! I wish the same for you! Prosperity, happiness, and peace in your family.
Hi Jay, thanks so much for your great informative videos which I've been following over some years, I'm From Australia, but im in Iowa, Des Moines at the moment for work from Nov 25 2022 to Dec 19 2022, staying at the Sheraton hotel. I remember, from your videos that you moved to lowa, I would love to meet you in person and shake your hand, you're a Great Teacher, Thankyou Sir for Word of Advice
Me too, this man is awesome!!! I really appreciate him. And, now I got his name from YOU, I am thankful to you too. Hey, JAY UR AWESOME, thank you so much. I hope you see this.
Excellent Video. FYI... for future reference (If my memory concerning schematics & electronics serves me correctly) I think the way to deal with those intersecting wiring lines is to (use one of the lines) and simply draw an arc over the other one of them.
@Jo Tu Thank you for pointing that out! I do know how schematics are drawn, I did it that way so it looks a little cleaner. But I'm glad you mentioned that for everyone else
How to rewire power cord on goldstar R5400 window air conditioning system
I'm new to this field actually in class now trying to learn this video was sooooooo informing there's more I definitely need and want to learn but video was exactly what I needed
Excellent communicator with a great teaching style blended with a sound working knowledge of his subject. I'll be looking for your videos for future projects.
My AC condenser unit is a 36 year old Carrier Model 38EN-036-340 manufacture date 9/87. I couldn't find schematics or wiring diagrams online. The start capacitor was showing corrosion around the top. I went ahead and replaced the start and run capacitor and then the contactor was sticking. It would pull in with a light tap, so I replaced it as well. My AC condensor has one more piece wired in beyond your last diagram... it is a Supco TD-73 Delay on Break timer. I would love to know more about what it does.
Your diagram here was most helpful. My system is back up and running. Thanks!
This video makes me see I need to brush up on my understanding of potential relays
Great explanation at breaking it down step by step for people that are new to hvac.
Spot on, excellent. 5 Stars across the board.I forgot how to wire, and was thinking about this and here you are. Great content, good drawing, good info and explaining, straight to the point, and enjoyable.
HA, you were wiring the coil, and I'm looking at the common on the cap, whew I'm glad you didn't leave me hanging.
Glad I could help with that! :) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
That was great. I only suggestion I have is when u draw crossing wire over the other with out touching, draw that line when u approach the other line instead of just crossing go to the right or left Do U over the other line and keep going . That way it is would be known those wire not connected each other.
Thanks for your wonderful presentation though
I'm a technician, thank you for these videos.
You sir, teach way better than my ac technology teacher!
Thank you! Glad to hear my video qualifies for that! ;)
Thanks for the video. You explain so easily. Continue to do videos like these they are helpful. I will watch this many times over.
Thank you.

Thanks man just started working in hvac this helped me understand the system a lot more thank you
I've learned more from your video's than I ever did, during the 2 years of HVAC classes at my local community college. SUBSCRIBED/BELL
Very helpful thanks for all this information 👍
It helped me to configure my unit after motor and cap change. You should consider teaching these and other machines you service if you can take the cut in pay. Thanks
Very helpful, thank you so much for everything , I started working on AC recently and I have learned a lot with your videos , keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏻 it’s going to be a great help for others.
I apologize I learned this back in the 90s so the way your wiring this the start winding is always in the circuit and it will shut off on overload because of current .
This is why I enjoy hvac you always learn something and ask questions maybe someone will read this and tell me what I am missing
I am 70 years old and am still learning. stay curious
Thanks for nice video.
My friendly suggestion is Title it part one then continue on adding accessories (lp. Hp,solenoid valve and so on ) then
heat pump and defrost board .link all your videos or have a playlist.
This way you have a nice playlist for wiring of hvac, even connections available for furnace as a heat source.
That's a good idea! Thank you for the suggestion Mike! Although this is the first wiring video I have made so may as well leave it as is for now :)
@@WordofAdviceTV you welcome.
you can add part 1 then continue for part 2, you can predraw it on paper in order to explain it easier than taking time to draw.
You can draw with thin pen on paper bcz it does not show on camera but it helps you to draw it with marker very fast this is another option.
Thanks for your efforts for helping others.
Best HVAC channel around!! You're definitely made for this man, your my favorite keep it up & informing future Technicians. 😁
Thank you very much! Glad you like my videos! I hope to keep on making more :) Thanks for watching and commenting!
and it gets more complicated with a heat pump and low pressor and high pressor limit switches and with heater crank case he he he he, did you show them how to connect those wires word of advice tv? don't get me wrong you are good and you make a good instructor.....it would just be nice to try and include everything when it comes to wiring a unit.....
J Y he is definitely good, I give him a thumb up, he is the best I have seen so far explaining the AC unit
I second that, Jay is a really good teacher for real 100%
U don’t know how much u have helped me.🤝🤝🤝thank u so much u have made everything easier and digestible
You are my best man because some people like you have the gift
Great work on your videos . you have a very simple and easy way of explaining things . you have made my life a lot easier
That's all i am going to say after watching ur video
U ARE A GOOD TEACHER
Great video for people. Just a suggestion you should show the ladder diagram so they could follow along with the video also should the capacitors separate
Thanks man , that's the most down to earth straight up video I've seen thanks again it really helped 😄😄👍
Awesome I have learn soo much watching your videos and taking alot of notes 👏
Agreed! I probably watched a dozen and this was the best/clearest.
As always great presentation, you should be a teacher, you will be the best.
this is the best example that iv ever seen.
excellent video. Clear, concise. I will watch many more times and will bookmark it.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video that much!
You are absolutely the best teacher thank so much for the videos 6ou have made comfort in my home obtainable
Man you continue to amaze me with how good you are. Well done!
I was boiling on my couch, thinking that you really forgot the common on the Run cap. You got me good lol
Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Before TH-cam, all this knowledge was heavily guarded.
Perfect video this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
This is the best example on TH-cam... Thank you so much!!!!
Excelente Teacher. Thanks For Sharing. Regards from Reynosa, Mexico. 🇲🇽👍👍👍
Thank you Miguel! I appreciate the comment! From Mexico :)
You are gifted teacher , very good explain!
Great video...appreciate the work you put into your lessons.
Thank you, glad you like the videos! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video man. Wish there would have been a video like this out when I was first starting out
I know how you feel man.. I remember spending a lot of time, frustrated, trying to figure out messed up wiring. It would have been a lot easier to just gut it and start fresh using a simple diagram like this one.
me too, i would watch this over and over, this is good stuff.
Life is so unfair. Why are you so smart?
😂😂
U r the best!!
Lol thank you! Believe me, I wasn't always like this. 😇
very good explanation, , make it simple and clear, its awesome, thanks you for your time
Thank you very much Sir! Your video helped me a lot!
Thank you for your time and dedication
Awesome well explained 100 times better than my teacher in college
I have learned a lot from you sir thank you for your time and effort.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching my videos!
Thanks for your logical approach to troubleshooting and repairs
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
@@WordofAdviceTV I am trouble shooting a 2 1/2 ton heat pump installed about 10 years ago sits on a 4 story roof on the beach in southern California in Playa Del Rey. Corrosion has set in the indoor coil is dirty and the condenser will not start I traced power from the main panel inside the apartment to the roof disconnect, all good I have power to everything accept the contact relay will not engage when calling for heat or cooling. I am replacing the main circuit board in the condenor its a 'Source One' board. I am also replacing the T-stat because it's falling apart. I need top get the condensor running to check for refrigerant levels or any other issues. Do you have any advice thanks
@@havitcold Oh boy.. Sounds like that one has potential to become a pain in your side. But hopefully not, it would be nice if the board and thermostat fixed the problem. If not.. Then I would find what else is in series between Y coming from the thermostat and the contactor coil. 3 amp fuse, Low pressure switch, high pressure switch, condensate overflow switch, etc... Different units, different switches.. Perhaps something in the 24v circuit is tripped. Also, did you check if the contactor coil had 24v going to it? Sometimes it will have voltage but will not pull in. In that case the little plunger is either stuck or the contactor coil is bad.
@@WordofAdviceTV Thanks! I always appreciate the tips
Great!!! You have a great way of explaining!! Thanks.
I already knew how to wire a condenser. Nevertheless, I enjoyed watching you explain it. Good job.
Great,great video again Jay.
I have learned a lot from World Advice TV.
I can’t wait to see a video about Heat Pump system.
Thank you.
Glad you are liking the videos! Thank you for watching. Since I don't have a heat pump at my house, that video would be a bit harder to film. If I get a chance to, I will. What exactly do you want to know about a heat pump though? It is very similar to an air conditioner after all.
Wow! awesome video! you really know your stuff.
Very clear and precise. Not bored at all. Thanks
Glad to hear it wasn't boring! Thank you for watching and commenting :)
ACE’D IT AS USUAL, I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDS!!💪🏼😎👉🏽💨💨💨💨💨💨
Thanks for sharing this video so nice tutorial it gather more knowledge to the viewers.
Excellent instructions as usual. I wouldn't change a thing, very good presentation. Thank you.
Thank you Robert! Glad you agree with it all!
Great video! Excellent diagraming!
Thank you Doug!
Thank you boss your video very educational,
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Great explanation 👍
Simple and very clear
Your a lifesaver! Thank you for your video!
