Thanks, man! I'm not sure if this is my issue but this has been the most original solution I have seen so far while trying to sort out a problem with a new Goodman outdoor unit. I had it installed 4 months ago but I've been having nothing but problems out of it whenever it climbs above 80F outside. I've replaced the zone board and thermostats but it behaves exactly the same. The company that installed unit thinks it's the zone board and refuses to come back out without charging me more money.

Well I hope you get it figured out. With it being only 4 months old they should definitely come back out at no charge to see if the system they installed is working properly. It could be under charged. If they installed it 4 months ago which would have been in February, the temperature wasn't that warm & they wouldn't have been able to dial in the correct charge with February's temperatures & now that it's the summer & hot outside it can be charged properly. They should have told you that they would have to come back at the beginning of the summer to dial in the charge on the system since they couldn't have done that in February without a heat load on the home.

Can a missing flashing piece on the air handler where the evap coil and main cover meet cause the ac to not cool properly? There’s a big gap so my thought is that the blower is pulling air from that gap and not thru the evap coil so it’s not efficient. But my maintenance guys have been here 4 or 5 times and can’t figure it out.

@ApartmentMaintenance 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, it will cause the system to not operate properly. You most likely won't have much air blowing out the vents & not pulling the air over the evaporator for the refrigerant to absorb the heat & remove it from the apartment. Thanks for watching Kevin & Subscribe to the channel bro 👍

Notice you check both capacitors with different leads on the meter for example you put the black lead on the common and the red on the fan in the herm which is normal but on the new capacitor you put the red on the common and the black on the Herm and then the fan why did you switch the wires of the multimeter. Just asking

@ApartmentMaintenance 9 ай бұрын

Great question that alot of people aren't sure of. The answer is, it doesn't't matter which lead from the multimeter goes to common, herm, or fan. As long as you have one lead on common while you test the herm & fan terminal it doesn't matter if it's red, black, green, orange, blue etc...when checking microfarads. There's not a positive/negative in this situation. Once again, great question & Thanks for watching Mafiaboyz3573 & Subscribe to the channel 🛠️👍

Great video! Question for you boss: I have a 3600, 2 story house. AC downstairs is working flawlessly, upstairs is hot af. I go out to the AC, downstairs unit is blowing out hair out, upstairs unit is blowing cold air out. Is the upstairs unit not pulling the hot air from the house and pushing it out? If so, is it because of the condenser ? Can it be just because it’s dirty? But if it is the condenser, would changing the capacitor like in your video, work?

@ApartmentMaintenance 6 күн бұрын

You're on the right track by noticing there's cool air blowing out of the condenser, it's honestly impossible to say exactly what the issue is without seeing it. It definitely could be the capacitor that is bad which isn't starting the compressor but it's starting the fan. Or it could be low on refrigerant & not performing properly, it could be a loose wire, an airflow issue, etc....But if you have a meter that does microfarads you can check the capacitor. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching Henry & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍

@@ApartmentMaintenance thank you for this response. I was actually waiting on your response to take some course of action. I’m going to check out the capacitor and see if it does anything. If there are leaks, where would the leaks be? By the unit ? Or inside the house?

@@henrymenendez7655 a leak could be in the coil at the air handler, at the coil outside, a braze joint, etc....you would need a refrigerant leak detector to find a leak.
