Great video I liked the troubleshooting sequence, passive voice and instructional video. I wish there was a part 2 video to see actual repair done to replace compressor. great job

Good video, I’d really hate to be the guy to criticize but I’m going to tell a quick story, When I was a helper, lead tech and I went on a call just like this but on an old rheem condenser with the big L shaped door covering the compressor and the electrical. The lead tech had a stinken habit of resetting breakers without checking for shorted wires and components first. Just to cut to the chase, I was kneeling right next to the unit when he reset the breaker without communicating that to me or testing for potential electrical shorts. The compressor came on for about 5 seconds then shot out the terminals and damn near sprayed oil and refrigerant on my face. Since then, when I walk up on a unit with an active contactor I check power to ground, if there is no power then I check ohms to ground BEFORE I go resetting breakers just to see what happens, you all ready know what happened, the breaker blew which means there’s a short. I just believe that’s the best thing to do.

Well Ted, I look forward to the final repair 👍 Au

More people need to realize what they're working on doesn't belong to them. Very respectable!

I like ur methods for troubleshooting. Respectfully there r 2 other things I do. I check the leads on the compressor w/o removing them from the contactor and I check the refrigerant for burn damage aka burnout.

I'm in PA and my HVAC company of 30 years puts the AC filter drier inside, a couple feet from the furnace. Is there a reason to put it outside instead? Or doesn't it matter?

Nice work Ted. Hopefully you'll get the repairs.

Great video sir, thank you!

Great Video . Thank you for sharing

I found a compressor only 5 years old the other day and it was toast. Also found one that was replaced 6 months prior and it was shorted to ground. 🤷‍♂

Can't wait to see a compressor change out vidioe 😊😊

"oh my god! I can't find mom!" 😆

Good job

ICP whoop whoop gimme that Moon Mist

well atleast its at the beginning of the season not mid august

Film the replacement if you do it ... Nice vid ... Thx

If power was dead to the unit, where was the buzzing coming from?

Oh that would tick me off much having a compressor crap out this soon. You know it was put together wrong when it was built if that happens so soon, grounded out. Maybe this has a ten year warranty or only 5 year ?

Would you swap the Evap coil also in this situation in addition to the condenser?

That's a shame... But a good thorough diagnosis even if it isn't the outcome the customer wanted!

I think Ted needs a more professional camera. Working one-handed must be tough. I appreciate your videos!

😎👍😎👍😎👍

No helicopter 🚁 2nd part

ICP/ Carrier has always been the worst for 25years and still are for the high voltage compressor wires rubbing against the suction line and blowing hole..😂

its a shame they dont make stuff like they used to! its all about makeing a buck!

She will make the correct decision with her son and have you do the work.

I know you'd like to sell him a new unit, but a compressor should work and it'll be cheaper

Twenty three years old; replace would be my suggestion but a repair is not a bad alternative. What does the soft spoken Carolinian suggest? 😎

You guys get away with some real crappy workmanship up that way, you could never pass inspection here in Florida.
