The spinner detects a magnetic field which you won't have with a failed winding in the solenoid coil. Also there is a old TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) about those coils. They would develop a break in the winding that would intermittently show up when the coil got hot creating a burner failure / reset problem. Diagnostics was.......If you suspect the coil on a intermittent reset problem, replace it . Best of Luck.................
Lol. Steves not dumb, idk how he thought a compass would spin by electrical and not by a magnetic field. Lol. He knows he cant use it to test for voltage on wires, he must have had a brain fart. I get stuck on stupid sometimes myself.
@@Dan-f7bhe used it for detecting magnetic field. Before the solenoid replacement it did not spin. At 11:32 in the video you can clearly see it spin after he replaced the solenoid.
Nice job! Just fix what is broken no up sale. A company with integrity. Thank you for the time it takes to post these videos. Mark McKenna from Tucson, AZ.
Steve, Great diagnostics on this burner. You are great businessman, giving great honest service, your reputation must proceed you. That’s why this customer called you. You usually ask the customer how they found out about you? Enjoy your videos very much also enjoy listening to your regional accent, I’m from the Midwest where there is no pronounced accent. Best regards
Steve that inductive spinner thingy is cool. It detects the 60hz AC magnetic field generated from the solenoid coil and is basically a very small electric induction motor. Another great job!
i hate oil as i pull started farrah fawcetts #2 fuel oil 2 stroke nuclear fusion reactor which fused helium into carbon fusion and barfed soot everywhere and surged a proton beam which produced an electromagnetic gamma ray pulse which over heated the boiler to our church dishwasher!
This fusion reactor fire a steam jenny steam cleaner which heats water to 375 degrees accelerator protons and can steam clean any deep fryer hood at an nfl stadium
Your a classical guy! makes me wish I had a cellar. I'd buy one of those Beckett's in a hot minute and oil tank etc.. I could work on it by NOW! haha j/k
To check those coils or any coil on a solenoid let your aunt Probe on top of the coil and see if you get an A it only may be very little but you'll get leakage
Hey there Steve what is the name of the littler rotary indicator you use to test the solenoid called ? As i wonder if it would work on ac electric motors too
Hey Steve, A/C question. Do you run your A/C in "Auto" fan or "On" mode? I'm thinking air circulation around the house especially in a 2-story home where the 2nd floor is always warmer than 1st floor where the T-Stat is located. Especially at night when the A/C isn't running cause the outside temps are lower. Always learning from your videos from the multitude of service calls. Nothing beats on the job learning!
Great job, Steve! As an aside; people in Texas are experiencing blistering hot weather--but they are being warned not to use the A/C`s and overload the power grid! And we have not even gone totally green yet and switched to all-E-cars. Get that solar and wind cranked-up boys! Save the planet!
The solar and wind power has nothing to do with the grid. The generating of power is not the issue. It is the transformers and other distribution components that are the problem.
I’m just a cable and my aunt called about a tv issue so after dinner went to fix it but as I was going through her back area I se her evaporate sitting on top of her fan with two fillers on top of the radiators pulled them off and seen black is there something to clean that with don’t want her to breath that black mold she is elderly and says she has been doing that for 20yrs I said don’t think Steve would like that and would say that’s a shit show
steven i have a question, i see you go to the truck and get used parts and sell them as new , i saw two cases where you sold a used part written on slip as new..remember karma steve..i look up to you, but when saw this it hurt me see a man that cant speak English welkl the portuguese old man you try to buy the tractor from..so sad thats why people watch..to see what people do to you on hard times..karma my friend...

the electromagnetic pulse heats a coiled Hotsey steam cleaner at 375 degF 4000 psi steam shooter washer and drives the motor!
Any sense makes doesn't?@@jlo13800
Awesome. Never seen that issue. Love these troubleshooting jobs.

Honesty is The Best Policy Lav.. That's why your Successful Brother,
@@stephenzies8867 👍👍👍
I thought the spinning signified the existence of a magnetic field which only exists in a good coil with power applied.
I like the that you double check yourself.
Good job Steve I knew you'd figure it out
Great job Steve.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing

When replacing the primary is it plug and play or do you have to program it?
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
I love that saying from him!
Yo Steve good show that was different never a dull moment with you
If it's OL, That magnet may not spin because the magnet was completely fried
Good man!!!
looks like we have the same one. my light keeps flashing by the red button and will not stay on. any idea why?
I don’t steal customers either. Always suggest calling the installer or last mechanic.

Anyone know if Steven has done a truck tour video? Thing looks new.
He has a few truck videos on the purchase, planning, building, and filling. That was hard work but they are fun videos to watch.

A new customer not very far from home.
Wonder if the magnetism of the solenoid makes the tester spin

"My little spinny thing." 😂
There is no replacement for the volt/ohm meter.
120 is modern voltage. 120/240.
The magic words, " I've got another one..."
No magnetic field from the open coil.
Wasn't drawing amperage.... No spinny....
Your video help me out thanks

Theres an honest guy.. some guys would say once the controller is installed the customer bought it.. not you.
Bogarting customers are wrong. They probably got tired of calling this other company and it not working, even after they just had it serviced.
Houston we have Innition🤣👌
Howdy Steve and Molly
He called you Steve so you did not steal a customer.
Hello Steve!
steven i have a question, i see you go to the truck and get used parts and sell them as new , i saw two cases where you sold a used part written on slip as new..remember karma steve..i look up to you, but when saw this it hurt me see a man that cant speak English welkl the portuguese old man you try to buy the tractor from..so sad thats why people watch..to see what people do to you on hard times..karma my friend...

There isn't a job you can't figure out Steve! Kick ass video, remain blessed and keep the video's coming ☝️ 💥🫵👌

@@Deion245 actually my comment and your comment says 30 minutes ago
@@ReapWhatYouSowGardening it says the same
plus i see you throw all parts you take that are good put them on the truck to sucker other old people? shame on you...
A lot of times a technician will have a part on the truck for a temporary fix / to test the problem
Bad coil, solenoid is/was fine.
