I find my unit ( the theater had 8 units) I looked and the friggin condenser motor was gone, just the MTR the blade and mounting brackets were still there instead the condenser compartment. I got a good chuckle out of that one.

He informed how low life and incopmptent we were and preparing paper work to demand a refund. So after I informed him an unkown criminal had vandalized his disconnect and smashed it in the drive way. And he refused new electrical with change out. And since disconnect authority was a grey area he should call his electrician. And i got in my truck and drove away.

There are at least a dozen songs I can think of that would drive me absolutely nuts if they were stuck in my head. Donovan's "First There is a Mountain," Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis," Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians' "I Do," just to name a few. I definitely felt your pain on those multi-size knockouts. I don't trust my luck, so I always buy a reducing adapter ahead of time. 😉

You are *always* supposed to use knockout bushings inside and outside the box. You may never rely on the remaining knockout rings for a connection. But if you didn’t have the part, you could have just swapped out the internals from the new box and kept the old box which was obviously rated for at least 30A and in good physical condition.

I think a neighbor had a problem with theirs, knew this place was vacant, and took the pull-out.

Maybe the landlord pulled the disconnect to get non-paying Tennent's to move out. Might have been several months till summer heat set in and disconnect was lost in the mean time.

Sabotage is possible, but it was probably something stupid. May have been pulled by the landlord or maintenance man, and put in a stupid place. May have fallen on the ground and the grass cutters got it, or kids, Lord knows. A plain shame though. Nice job changing it, you just barely had enough wire.

Damn are those straps hideous why not just pour a little pad there or buy a pad and set the unit on that? If one trailer gets pulled out the next is just getting parked in the same place, wouldnt affect the unit any. People do some weird stuff.

Wonder why you didn't buy just a cheap disconnect. Put the pull in the old box and charging for a box

Could have been sabotage, but also one of the neighbors may have lost their pullout and went over and took that one

Might have been the previous tenant, but it could have been ANYONE. That disconnect box is wide open and there are teens around who think this kind of vandalism is fun. (I remember being almost that silly when I was 15...)

I must admit, when I was younger and my neighbor was a complete jerk, I would frequently flip their breaker on their AC unit.. I have since grown up...😂😂

Why not just go get the proper disconnect instead of changing the entire box out?

Was it a foreclosure? Thoes bank contractors that (winterise foreclosure properties at least up in New York ) remove yankout disconnects, and then the realtor throws them out when cleaning out the property.

I hate those concentric knock outs, you have to hit them perfectly or you end of with a hole that's too big for your fitting.

I'm 4 minutes into the video and the first thing my mind is doing is asking if someone has swapped a ground and a power wire going into this A/C unit to see if I will damage it by plugging a disconnect pull out into the system.

Tenant didn’t get all deposit back. I doubt landlord would call if he knew where it was. Old tenants were spiteful and was like I’ll make you pay the 1k somehow.

If it was same brand disco, why not just stick disconnect in from new one, rather changing the whole thing? But I’m guessing you checked that off camera.

I think I would spray some type of bug juice all around them outside boxes before attempting to work/remove on it first.. maybe before I even open the lid, or maybe have some gloves on:-).. just saying love your work, sort of how things go for me never as simple as I would like at times, especially when you follow up on a past bubba install/fix…

When you give the Landlord the bill, You'll probably get the sabatoge answer. Let us know if you find out. Difficult if not impossible to prove though. They could loose their deposit, or possibly they did. Have a great weekend!
