My well has this type of connection, I'd never seen it before and your video gave me the confidence to remove it. I don't take electrical lightly and sweated a little bit when I opened my control panel and saw that type of breaker.
Wowww.. thank you so much. Saved me probably hours of frustration and troubleshooting. Can't figure out who the heck did it as I didn't have any maintenance or work being done but ac stopped working yesterday and it turns out that disconnect was inserted the wrong way (off position). Flipped it and of course it turns on..!!! Thank you again.
Dose the disconnect only break continuity or does it have a fuse component? My AC condenser quit running, and am wondering if this could be the issue? My fan threw a blade, and it wedged in the coil and stalled the motor. It did not trip the main breaker. I replaced the fan, and it ran for a few days then died. The fact that the motor was getting power, and not allowed to spin, tells me something got stressed (my electric bill) and it could just be the motor itself. This disconnect would be an easy fix if that is what it could be.
Can I put a lever type disconnect box or single breaker box instead of that pull tab type disconnect. Im not a fan of the pull tab design. Thanks for your reply.

Omg I was so scared to touch it my house is newly renovated and I saw that the hvac wasn’t spinning it’s so hot in my house and the air will not work but the heat do so I watch your video and saw that it was a quick fix but before I watched your video I called someone to fix it because it’s brutally hot maybe 95 degrees they wanted $349 to fix it. Thanks so much because it took me 2 minutes to turn it on I just had it installed durning the winter as the house was almost finished and I guess they forgot to turn it on. Thanks so much this helped a lot. It’s now working
I am unable to pull out the pullout. Can I turn off the main circuit breaker for the AC unit and proceed with replacing the run capacitor? I’m look for suggestions how to do this safely.
Mine unit stopped working last year. Had two techs come out to give me a quote. Had someone I k ow that has been doing this for 30 years take a look at it and noticed there was no breaker at the outside unit. 😡 he said that could be the problem and will he putting one in and then we can test it again
Nice vid, thanks for the info,,,, but I've tried to pull mine straight out but it won't come out,,,, it's like it is stuck or something, any ideas ???? thank you....
@@waterhill Interesting as it was, I wasn't able to pull it out as I mentioned in my comment, but I rent the house I live and maybe was a bit timid pertaining to the "pulling" process if you will. The person who they sent over to fix it was really, really cool and great at his job, but none the less, he gripped it and yanked it right out. But only after agreeing it was very hard to pull out. So, he just grabbed it and ripped it out, and it worked. He said to me, if I break it, then it's on me, but if you break it then it's on you, which is not cheap to replace from what I understand. Hope this helps, but I'm not sure it will. But good luck anyway. but if you do just grip and rip; be very careful. I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN, but make sure all of your electric is off to the unit you're working on... GOD BLESS and take care....

😂 sounds like you pissed off your neighbor 😂
Thanks. Clear and to the point. 👌🏽
Great video.
Very helpful, it helped me solve a problem. Thank you!
Thank you I have this but my guy that installed it disconnected it but I didn’t remember what to do thank you

Thank you!
Is this just for working on the outside unit? I want to clean my inside ac coil but i cant find the breaker to turn off the power to it
can you replace the pull out plug? mine got a power surge and the electric contacts got burned
How do you get the disconnect handle to pull out if you put it in upside down?
the pullout head on mine has a little corrosion, my thermostat has no power (doesn’t run on batteries) is this a sign of fuses blown?
So is this a fused or non fused disconnect?
I love NV!
Can you remove the pullout head while the rest of the house still has power on?
Escellnet, but my t handle pulls up and it's hard to see the on and off. Thanks

Why does this outside unit have a separate cut off from the main fuse box airconditioner circuit?
So that when a person working outside on your unit..........an idiot inside the house cannot turn the breaker back on...........!!

Call a pro. Better to pay $250 then get shocked. If it is unable to pull out you don’t want to damage it giving it a tug.
@@vincentramirez8188 yeah I decided to the same. Thanks
@@vincentramirez8188 going to replace the disconnect box as well
Anti squatter video:
Are the pullout heads a universal size?
Someone must have stole mine 😡
Lol
Should I shut off power to the circuit breaker for the winter too?

Did that fix the issue?
Close to being informative. Demonstrations are helpful.
Can i use this on dc power?
Bad video, fuses are under the grey cover
I put it on the on position it clicked fan started spinning then shut off
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Whats the amperage usually on these disconnects for central air units?
I think like 20-30
Do all ac have disconnects? I can’t find one , it only the breaker
@@tomasrolon5121 …not all do. Some are wire straight to a breaker like yours. You can put one on tho. Gotta run conduit,wires & etc
60 amps.
What do I do if mine says on and off both on one side
So does mine! I think you pull it out and turn it then place it in

I’m having the same problem. Were you able to pull it out? If you were successful, please let me know what you did. Thanks
