It happens sometimes. At least it's running now. Hilarious how they were going to use that little bitty filter. The filters on small window units are bigger than that. I find it amazing how they leave these units wide open. Nice work. I'm glad that lump on your best friend was benign. Have a good one.

@Dmcbigboy8687 9 ай бұрын

Good job enlarging the return. Not sure if you realized it but that is what caused your blower motor to stop working. There wasn't enough airflow when the air handler was closed up and trying to pull through that small return. Then when you pulled the 24v you reset the system. It came on and ran fine,before you enlarged the return, because it was pulling air through the big hole where i believe a door goes.

@AllTattedUp13 9 ай бұрын

Bro that would be a limit, and that would be during heating season, not ac season 🤦🤦 if it was lacking return airflow during ac, you'd have a froze up coil.

@Dmcbigboy8687 9 ай бұрын

Not with that unit...if the blower isn't pulling or pushing enough air(high static pressure) the blower stops working to keep blower from going bad. Also unit will go out on flash code, which we see happen, that has to be manually reset.

Like just about every other device with any kind of computer if all else fails, reboot it. I'd say that's what happened when you broke the low voltage. I do computers for a living and have worked on some chip level computer equipment and I have to tell my end users, first restart the thing and see what happens. Weird stuff happens and it can't hurt. Thanks for all your videos.
