I got my epa cert just bc these techs lie so much. They know our choice is to pay or sit it the heat. Tech lied to me a month ago, said i had to replace EVERYTHING. $8,307. Fixed it myself for $400. Its absolutely disgusting what theyre doing to people who dont even know theyre being lied to.
@@DillonMcHerron1 why would you do that? The intended purpose is for an old / worn out compressor to help it start. A normally working compressor doesn't need it.
Copeland app works good for verifying winding resistances. I have seen stalactites on factory joints before, even pieces of rod. I had a compressor that was stuck installed 4 months ago that didnt even get its first run yet. Suprised a Copeland is stuck, I usually have to deal with the LGs that take a crap all the time.
I just had one no compressor working 1.7 1.2 0.6 and no pressure switches cap is good and compressor makes no noises but does get warm hmmm maybe frozen or idk im replacing it soon though
You try hard to get them going. That's good. I would have checked mf then locked rotor amps and called it bad compressor. If it was my house then I would have removed fan, push in disconnect then immediately hit it with a hammer so I can have cold air until a new comp installed. Works great deal of the time
A total of 1.5ohms from run to start seems very low, but the LRA spec of 117amps is close to what you measured. That's a weird compressor. Alost like it's designed to trip breakers
We’ll time waste just to say I going to replace a compressor I find some times bad cables from the compressor to the contractor or capacitor check for continuidity
I need to be there seems like something is missing just can't put my finger on it?🤔 Stay safe. Retired(werk'n) keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.
This is exactly why I do my own work. Anyone can throw parts at it... Finding what's actually wrong is a different story.

Well yeah but it will be alot of parts if you dnt know HVAC
Nice camera work when checking at compressor terminals. Thanks for sharing.
Gotta love opening the electrical cabinet and seeing a super boost
First sign that something is wrong
That funny we install them on all new ac installs and when we replace capacitors!
@@DillonMcHerron1 Umm wut. Thats a very bad thing to do.
Especially in hot areas,they don't get to much of a chance to cool off in between cycles ,👍🤔🙏

Nice work sir
I ran into this yesterday. Good find sir 👍
The compressor was changed out. The factory doesn’t leave big drips of solder on their connections.
Really wonder what I’m gonna find once I change this.
Sloppy change out, short cuts .🤔🙏😔
Prob don't remember with it being 3 years ago but when you changed it did it fix the issue? @@HVACGUY
Your regular uploads kick ass.

Just another day in the life 👍🏽

A hammer?
I like to hit stuck compressors with a rubber mallet
That's funny ,but hey if works temporary ,let her have it,👍🤔😊
Thanks for talking/ thinking out loud

You need some knee pads, or a pillow for your knees.
That hard start probably ruined the start winding.
I thought if it was at LRA, compressor is junk. You want it at RLA, right? Unless you had your meter on hold from startup?
Yeah meter was on inrush amps so it caught the lra
Must be a carrier’s brand, junk 😢😢😢
Just a Joe-home owner here are compressors covered under a manufacture 10 year warranty?
Normally yes
Unfortunately this unit was not registered, didn't get enhanced warranty.
Carrier says 5 years only 😢😢😢
What is the truth ???
Did they lie to me again ???

If it had a burnt terminal it wouldn’t try to start
First today
I know why it hums. Cause it doesn't know the words to the song. ahahahaha.
