I'd rather drill a hole in my big toe & dip it in Red Devil turpentine than work on a Lennox. Good video. Your process of taking out loud shows the thought process we go through. There's a huge amount of diagnostics that happen before we ever even open a panel.
Great video. It's real troubleshooting and fault was not created for video. Sometimes troubleshooting takes a little time and its difficult to remember all HVAC or RTU systems. However, reading wire schematics is important to trouble electrical or electronic faults.
Almost all my videos are actual service calls. The ones that are not are problems at my house, dads or moms house. Not all calls are successful also some conditions I work in also may not be ideal.
Sir I m also a hvac tech and started working with rooftop units recently it's good to watch the videos to enhance the knowledge and step by step troubleshooting. I wish you can focus camera more on the stuff you were doing. Good job
Keep at it. I remember chasing a 24v short to ground for about 5 hrs on a residential gas furnace. Wound up being a piece of foil backing from cabinet insulation where the coupon was stamped out at the factory for the hi limit. Occasionally after the blower came on the air would catch to foil and swing it up and touch the bare clixon terminals of the limit and short to cabinet. At some point labor be damned and pride is at stake. We only charged an hour labor. Our previous tech replaced a burned transformer and saw no other issues. We installed an inline fuse in the circuit and probably blew 6 or 8 before finding the problem. Techs come in 2 main flavors...bs cons that bail and sell new equip and pitt bulls that dont throw in the towel. You sir appear to fall into the latter group.
I find myself on many non billable calls for my boss. Many jobs When as per (bosses name) I go to which usually there is too much going on for me to make videos cause of upset customer, and I need to close the job. I can spend days we’re I get paid yet my company isn’t billing my time since they need to save face. Plus how can u collect on a project that the customers already paid for 1 or 2 calls and machine is still down. In you furnace I would have inline fuses hooked up all low voltage lines if I couldn’t catch the short so when short strikes I had a blown fuse letting me know which circuit my problem was on. I learned the other day some may call this connecting tattle tales. Did you have all low voltage lines interrupted with fuses or just to protect the transformer?
That is a good one!! I had a no heat call once that stumped me for a little bit. The very first thing I do is always turn the thermostat up all the way. Went thru everything and come up with it being the thermostat. Went upstairs and pulled the cover off the ole T87 and the cockroaches scattered and the furnace kicked on.
TwiZ1975cj5 Had a fellow tech told me of a heating issue said he cranked the stat and went to the basement started checking and the burners went off. After a few secs in came back on. Few secs off again so he hollered up the stairs at the lady to stop messing with the stat. She hollered back shes not doing anything. He goes back up and pulled the cover off the stat and was roach city in there moving the bulb. Ew
@@thehvachacker If you have a line fuse on the common returning to the transformer you have effectively protected the entire circuit it serves. Respectfully intended, Electrons must be able to flow through the circuit in order to produce EMF to drive a load, this happens at a cellular level ( obviously ) and if it cannot move electrons through the common then there is no space for them to occupy and move into on the L1 End... the exception is if the L1 has a path to ground, in which case it should over amp and trip a breaker, this can depending on the install, the age of the units ( cracked insulation on wires ) among other variables cause the board or other things to fry, in the case of over amperage you willl loses the narrowest ( weakest ) component, usually the board, you may also fuse contactor points together if this happens. remember that Volts is pressure and Amps are flow.... if you run a TON of water through a LArge pipe it will take longer to wreak itself then if you did the same flow n a smaller diameter pipe.... Electricity and water have many many similarities.
Just an FYI to all the new text out there when you come up to a unit try to make it a habit of push starting your contacts first just to see if the device runs then using a jump box or anything you can make basically if it's a 24 or a 120 volt coil have a breaker or fuse in between it and put power to the coil and see if the device comes on it'll minimize a lot of your headaches unless you come to float and transformers which are a pain in the butt
On this type of call I often carry a 24 volt 25 watt light on test leads. You can probe contactors, switches, wireing harnesses, and such and when you have a short the light comes on and the amp clamp can follow the 1 amp of current in the wires to the ground.
I've never seen them as a manufactured item. This is a home build. A couple of auto tail lights in series on alligator clips is the test light. Use the stop light elements for the current. Two in series for 24 volts. Draws about 1 amp which is easy to trace with an ac amp clamp.
@@thehvachacker you can buy the unit he is talking about at any auto store, its not as useful as a meter though, IMO but everybody has their own way of cracking the egg.. respectfully intended. :)
Keeping cool is the only way to troubleshoot. If I ever start losing my cool I find a few minute break does the trick. Psychology is a m-fkr and if someone starts thinking they can’t do it they failed without trying.
We will all keep learning everyday, wether in the field, starting off in a classroom. The easy jobs don’t teach us much. The ones that make us think and start tracing wires will make us better for future jobs
You were on the right track. The short wasn't the coil shorted to ground, it was in the pull in coil itself which, in effect, shorted it across itself. The coil should have a resistance due to length of the wire wrapped around it to create the magnetic field. When the windings short across themselves, they won't create the magnetic field to pull in the contactor. You lost the short when you disconnected the coil.
I did remove the short and then the compressor was able to start. Afterward when I ohm the coil there wasn't any resistance. It is just like testing two ends of the same wire.
@@thehvachacker no resistance means the windings are shorted to themselves, you should get a resistance reading that is fairly low, but not nothing... similarily if you go O.l. then it has burned itself out.
Yea I kinda switched to auto (mostly custom jeep stuff) and atv repair and custom fabracobblin. I have my regular HVAC and plumbing customers, but I mainly do the other stuff now. Fucked my back up and its easier to deal with the other stuff...sometimes
So, if you get 24 V from power-red to let's say fan-green....does that mean that the x-fmr is putting out low voltage to wherever you are taking your voltage reading? & if you get 0 V from common-blue to let's say 1st stage cooling-yellow....does that mean that there is not a call for cooling? I just want to make sure if I understand this right or not. Thanks.
If you have 24vac between r and G you have power yet no call for the blower, yes 0volts from Y terminal to C means there is no call for cooling. You would have 0 volts between r and and terminal that the stat has on. 24v shows when no call for cool r to any terminal except c.
@@thehvachacker Thank You not only for the education, but also for the quick reply. My HVAC/R book from college went up in a house fire about 4 years ago. Otherwise I would of read up on it. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Please keep uploading your calls. They are cool to watch & very educational!
when you use a meter you are measuring a differential. R will always have 24 vac ( should ) IF you measured the same line ( volts ) with the other probe you would not get a reading ( no differential ) the reason that you read 24 v between a load and the common Say R to G with fan running is best explained by the electrical path. R ( 24 VAc ) touches G in the t stat ( in the R to G example ) meaning that R and G are the same wire now, the reason you test between the G and common is that the common legs readable voltage has been consumed by the load ( in this case for the 24 vac the Board and the relay. ) IF you were to connect the R ( 24 vac ) direct to the C you would burn the transformer out since it would not have a load on the circuit... I hope this clarifys it, im just half way done the coffee so I may have some lackng in my description :)
Order one of the resetable fuses you see so often in Lennox units. When trouble shooting low voltage insert it into the transformer circuit and you'll be protected from accidently shorting the transformer
I have one always in my tool bag just didn't need it. I also made 2 wires with spade connectors for using on control boards I find blown 3 amp fuses. those fuses come with many of the upgrade control boards.
Like the content. Would like the content better if you could more frequently have you cheat cam adjusted so we/I could see many of your adjustments. Thanks
I must have skipped the part where you checked the resistance across the coil. Because if you did that in the beginning wouldn’t you have seen that issue when you started? Not questioning your service skills I think your awesome just asking questions
Thanks tracing is all I can do when things don’t work. I have worked on prodigy yet first time with a contactor issue and the yellow wires hitting both sides of this contacter had me questioning the wiring. These are the jobs I like just sometimes hard to make a video of this kind of work.
Just curious. You said an electrical storm may have caused the electrical issues to the Prodigy. Could this of been avoided if a really good surge protector had been installed on the unit?
@@thehvachacker Could you sell them to your customers to make yourself some extra money? My previous boss would always install a smoke detector system in package roof top units. It was designed to kill power to the fan circuit, if it detected smoke/fire. He was big on installing those.
Every system has smoke and fire dampers. Fire dampers not as much since the smoke sensors shut they system off. There should be phase monitors connected. Yet not always. Where I work I am suppose to sell only repair and replace what’s broken. Sales is another dept.
@@thehvachacker That's a good company! A lot of companies expect you to be a salesman. They don't give out raises nor bonuses because "your sales commission is your bonus. You decide how much money you make." I walk out of job interviews as soon as they start this bull shit on me. Any hiring professional who tells you that, is NOT offering a career, but conning you into being his cheap sock-puppet. -Ask me how I know!
I worked for someone who wanted to maximize profit on ever call. Was expecting me and the other tech to always find problems. He would freak cause in many of my videos I pull of repairs without replacing anything. Where I work they figure they will replace the equipment when the time comes so only replace if needed or the customer wants.
Send the email ... you can qualify... I know you're in the industry it is plain to see. Also, if you had watched or listened to the original video you would know that if I believe you are in our industry you are able to qualify. Hurry up and send the email before midnight and include your username.
They know the rate before I get there. I only give time frames on repair work/ changing a part. Chasing a short is different. I tell them it’s going to take however long I need to find the problem. How I factor that time; I take the time it takes if the job goes smooth. Then I add an hour as a cushion just in case. The customer is always happy that you beat your expected time. Yet you keep them off your back if something goes wrong.
great advice. I am an install technician installing alarms and customers are always quoted 4 hours from my company but i always tell them i could be up to 8 hours and make sure they are okay with it and as the job is going and i start to feel out the install i give them updates like you said adding an hour or so to my real estimated time so that way if i get done earlier i can look good and if not then they already were prepared. HVAC/R is the trade i want to transition too and i am nervous about dealing with time i am still new to the trades in general i went to a short term trade school then got hired as a install technician installing alarms but i feel hvac/r is interesting and i love the idea of the trade never going anywhere. i bought some books on hvac but i was going to ask is there any webisted you go or went to when you were learning different systems to learn or did you just learn as the days went on in the field as an apprentice ?
ALWAYS ballpark, and tell them a bit more than you think it will take, this way they are hay when its done faster and you have covered yourself in case it becomes a real PITA job... I am fond of telling customers that I can only ballpark since IF I say " 2 hours " the minute i do ive shot myself in the foot.
The coil on the blower motor was shorted. So when energized the blower coil was a direct short. I like jobs like this that make me think and really work to find it.
check your t stst wire going in side ,could be shorted going in side ,we got some 8 wire once that drove us crazy ,after about 6 month would brake down ,had to pull new wire to inside !
I will work on it. This isn't easy to work and film at the same time. I turn the camera on and just attach problems sometimes not showing important things happens.
Sorry, you couldn't follow. I am an HVAC tech, not a video photographer. I only get one chance to film. I will work on improving what the camera catches yet can't see what I recorded till long after I leave the job. Many know exactly what I was working on and the outcome. You will hate the new video one of my viewers told me to push it through even though the meter test results didn't show up on an important test. Where I ran into transformers, not in polarity.
I did it more as a joke. It's about having fun. I had someone tell me I was crazy for using this name and no one would watch. Do you think the name prevents some from wanting to watch my videos? All I am trying to do here is share my knowledge and experience while networking. Also, a chance to learn from those who watch and comment on my videos.

I have learned through the years to trust your instincts.
always isolate the load before checking for grounded contactor or really otherwise you are going to get continuity back to common.
Good honest diagnosis young man. Thats how we learn.

It is amazing how poorly some equipment is labeled in certain buildings, I run into this a few times a week and it is really frustrating.
Me too, I try to label everything on maintenances when I have time. Who wants to start troubleshoot the wrong machine

Low voltage short can be the hardest to find
Some can be and the tough ones we gain experience from for future shorts we have to hunt.
Could be when a relay pulls in on the 24 volt side
The coil on the blower motor was shorted. So when energized the blower coil was a direct short. I like jobs like this that make me think and really work to find it.
on the 1st one checked...I thought it was labeled RTU 2. (Left of door).
It was two units where labeled rtu 2. The first one was the only one without condensate water by drain why I started there.
check your t stst wire going in side ,could be shorted going in side ,we got some 8 wire once that drove us crazy ,after about 6 month would brake down ,had to pull new wire to inside !
It was the blower contactor coil shorted
My only problem is what you are saying is not shown on the video, hard to follow, video is too low, show us what you are saying on the video.
I will work on it. This isn't easy to work and film at the same time. I turn the camera on and just attach problems sometimes not showing important things happens.
Wow just a p trap ha.😱 why not not run some SCH 40 to roof drain. Smh 🤑 to replace the FN roof
most RTU only have traps on them and drip right onto roof
I heard one time a tech stepped in the water and was killed. A RTU was completely grounded or something.
Oh look 😳 another Lennox. FML
Thanks Dave!
Yo, your camera is not on what I need to see!
Sorry I’m getting better with the camera yet the job is the focus what I’m filming hopefully works out

bad camera angle.

All I am trying to do here is share my knowledge and experience while networking. Also, a chance to learn from those who watch and comment on my videos.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating not the name. If you know what your doing with confidence, those with understanding will watch.
I know right!?! Young grasshopper aint too shabby
Camera angle 1/10. Content 10/10. Commentating 10/10
