Thanks for the tips. As an apartment maintenance technician these have helped me troubleshoot our systems several times without having to call a contractor.
4:25 if the cool or snowflake is flashing. It could be a time delay setting. You might also have a time delay in the condenser unit. Just another helpful tip that took me a while to learn. Which you did mention.
Sam I just want to say I'm glad I came across your You Tube tutorials. Thank you for doing step by step and talking at a steady tone it's perfect and showing and explaining why at the same time what's your actually doing. Today Jan 25th 2021 at just became a subscriber
Great job on this video. I watched a lot of other videos and these one gave me the info strength to the point and no extra stuff. Simple, clear, good cam shots, nice pace in dispensing the information. Thank you.
Thanks for your vids. I'm just getting into the field and these are perfect. Most of the other youtubers seem to be talking only to people who are already experts in the field.
As a owner, techs are told to never ever use anything to push in a contactor that could spark, use your pen a stick a rock .If you hit the 120vlt side and cause a spark, you are (not) covered by workman's comp . I know it happened to me, customer called my name and poof, my screwdriver tip had a hole. Be warned, Be safe
Appreciate the feedback. These videos will give you a general basic foundation for actual field issues that are applicable for field use. This is how I systematically train guys who are new to the industry. By year 2 they are ready to go on their own. I an confident that if they have a foundation to stand on they will flourish... and so will you! 🙂 Thank you!
Sam your doing a awesome job. I stumbled upon your channel because I wanted to learn more about the industry and let me tell you just by watching your videos I feel alot more confident about troubleshooting and thinking to solve problems. Thank you for the videos keep up the great work
Mr Sam good afternoon,,very educational videos with clear and precise explanations in an easy way to learn ,now I have a short question ,after the blower motor has stopped the transformer do as a humming sound is that ok ? Any suggestion I would appreciate it thank you have a safe and happy day with your family
I am really confused why at 4:23 you decide to troubleshoot the blower motor rather than simply switching fan to on? If you switch to on and the air con comes on haven't you just eliminated the blower motor step?
I have a question please I noticed on your unit I didn't see a board is that true cuz you were taking voltage readings right off of the transformer. The unit I'm trying to get working it does have a board and I only have two wires coming in to the high voltage side of the transformer and two wires coming out from the low voltage side of the transformer. When I turn my thermostat on to call for heating or cooling I get nothing no fan no nothing at the blower motor inside. My fan is running outside but I don't hear the compressor kicking in. Down at the furnace unit on the board I don't seem to have power at my red terminal which is your power and I did jump from R to G what should have allowed my blower motor to come on (I did have the door safety override switch pressed in) I suppose my next step would be to verify that I have 120 volts going into my transformer and roughly 24 volts coming out of my low voltage side of the transformer correct? Also a lot of the TH-cam videos and articles on the internet are referring to a 3 amp fuse on the board for the life of me I do not see a 3 amp fuse on the board. Do all those boards have a fuse? Could the fuse be elsewhere?
I appreciate it. Honestly I love being in the field! It when you are out in the field you learn and continue to learn as more and more issues arise! Thank you for your comment. Its viewers like you that I post these videos! 😁👍
Are these two week boot camp courses for beginners worth the money? I want to go HVAC but the long schools want lots of money and a year but tie course gives you all the basics and allows you to get hired as an apprentice. Worth it?
Why do you not refer to the blower section as the air handler or furnace? Iv'e never heard of that section referred to as the return. I understand thats where the return air is but to refer to that piece of equipment as the return? I dont get it.
What would be wrong if it freezes up ..only when I set it below 74 at night...ii would have to just but I think it stays running but when I set to 75 its fine....what u think ? Thanks
Question for anyone; Why is he using the black lead on the multi meter to touch the transformer and not the red lead? it's on 10:50 part. So the black is common and red is voltage. I would have used the red one to touch the transformer/low voltage switch. Thank you
I'm sorry it's been a long time, but I thought I'd attempt an answer for you. Since Alternating Current is both positive and negative, which lead is used on whichever component generally doesn't matter. In Direct Current, there is a definite positive and negative flow of electricity, so lead placement matters more. With AC, I guess it's a matter of preference. HTH
Hi, I have a question my Thermostat works but it do not stay at my set point if i set to a temperature like 80 it will start a/c but bring the house temp to 74 or 72-- A/c start & shutdown but not at my preset temp--I changed Programmable thermostat to Manual Round Honeywell but same --I cleaned the control board at furnace where there was some water leak above furnace whole house dehumidifier-Please help

Thank you!!! This helped me figured out what was wrong with my system and was able to get it back running icy cold.
Thanks so much for your videos, Sam! The usefulness cant be overstated. That is one old furnace too! lol gotta be from the 80s

🤣 Honestly for every 1 thumbs down I get 10 positive comments such as yours! Thank you for your support!

thank you for your time and knowledge
Excelente video..
Why did you replace the fan relay when you had 24v?
Well explained, Thanks
I always get confused on the direction of the low voltage. Ex. Is it tstat to board then condensor or board to tstat then to condensor?
Why do you not refer to the blower section as the air handler or furnace? Iv'e never heard of that section referred to as the return. I understand thats where the return air is but to refer to that piece of equipment as the return? I dont get it.
Sam's there should not be any continuity between two thermostat wires right.
Sam why haven't you posted more HVAC videos
What would be wrong if it freezes up ..only when I set it below 74 at night...ii would have to just but I think it stays running but when I set to 75 its fine....what u think ? Thanks

excellent!!!!
Thank u for helping me
Crystal clear
Great instructions
Thank you - LIKE
Nothing running. No low voltage at contactor, no voltage at the Thermostat back plate, control panel is energized. Is this a broken thermostat wire?
Good video, thanks!
your better then 1yr of school
Very nice video I think you did a nice job on explaining everything 👍
You explain things really well,you should of been a teacher.
Hi, I have a question my Thermostat works but it do not stay at my set point if i set to a temperature like 80 it will start a/c but bring the house temp to 74 or 72-- A/c start & shutdown but not at my preset temp--I changed Programmable thermostat to Manual Round Honeywell but same --I cleaned the control board at furnace where there was some water leak above furnace whole house dehumidifier-Please help
Thanks again mate
I'm only getting 11 volts when I check the thermostat wiring. What's up with that?
thank you very much sir
I put yellow "Y" to red "R" and it blew the fuse to the transformer.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
i dont have power at my thermostat, now what ?
Every thing is working but my house is not cold
Yyyy
