This is exactly why I do my own work. Anyone can throw parts at it... Finding what's actually wrong is a different story.

I got my epa cert just bc these techs lie so much. They know our choice is to pay or sit it the heat. Tech lied to me a month ago, said i had to replace EVERYTHING. $8,307. Fixed it myself for $400. Its absolutely disgusting what theyre doing to people who dont even know theyre being lied to.

Nice camera work when checking at compressor terminals. Thanks for sharing.

@tommymein9046 3 жыл бұрын

The compressor was changed out. The factory doesn’t leave big drips of solder on their connections.

Really wonder what I’m gonna find once I change this.

Especially in hot areas,they don't get to much of a chance to cool off in between cycles ,👍🤔🙏

@tomtom1541 2 жыл бұрын

@@DillonMcHerron1 why would you do that? The intended purpose is for an old / worn out compressor to help it start. A normally working compressor doesn't need it.

You try hard to get them going. That's good. I would have checked mf then locked rotor amps and called it bad compressor. If it was my house then I would have removed fan, push in disconnect then immediately hit it with a hammer so I can have cold air until a new comp installed. Works great deal of the time

A hammer?

Copeland app works good for verifying winding resistances. I have seen stalactites on factory joints before, even pieces of rod. I had a compressor that was stuck installed 4 months ago that didnt even get its first run yet. Suprised a Copeland is stuck, I usually have to deal with the LGs that take a crap all the time.

@jeremymcguire7069 3 жыл бұрын

A total of 1.5ohms from run to start seems very low, but the LRA spec of 117amps is close to what you measured. That's a weird compressor. Alost like it's designed to trip breakers

We’ll time waste just to say I going to replace a compressor I find some times bad cables from the compressor to the contractor or capacitor check for continuidity

@smacleod69 3 жыл бұрын

That hard start probably ruined the start winding.

Just a Joe-home owner here are compressors covered under a manufacture 10 year warranty?

@HVACGUY 3 жыл бұрын

Normally yes

@TheGgin 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately this unit was not registered, didn't get enhanced warranty.

@Sundog0811 10 ай бұрын

I thought if it was at LRA, compressor is junk. You want it at RLA, right? Unless you had your meter on hold from startup?

@slicktmi 9 ай бұрын

Yeah meter was on inrush amps so it caught the lra
