I changed out the relay, the compressor will kick on and warm up but then the sound fades and nothing seems to be happening. It's not shutting off but it's not cooling either. Compressor is warm as is the relay. Maybe the compressor is bad? Mine is less than 4 years old.
@SkillSavvyDIY 2 күн бұрын
Was your compressor initially kicking out on overload like mine was? The relay should be replaced only if the compressor won't start up and run. Both the compressor and the relay will be warm while running to answer your question but that doesn't mean it is pumping correctly. It does take a little while to remove the heat from the freezer, but if its not cooling still and the compressor is still running then the relay was not your issue. You have either low refrigerant, a restriction in the refrigerant line or a compressor that is not pumping. Gauges would have to used to determine the problem.

Does code still require a disconnect if ac is installed within 6' of the breaker panel? I was under the impression that it isn't required. I ran 10-2 UF in conduit straight from my breaker to the unit. Thanks
@SkillSavvyDIY 3 күн бұрын
The code states that a disconnect must be in sight from the condensing unit and readily accessible. Mine was neither of these but it is now.

I did exactly how you instructed and it fixed my hotpoint freezer. Ordered a $9 relay from amazon. Delivered next day took the relay out put in new relay and boom!! Worked right away! Thank 🙏🏽 u!! The freezer is 4yrs old was going to throw it out. U saved me from having to empty everything out and haul it onto the curb for trash. Now my girlfriend is happy it’s working again. 😅

Hello Rus, great video and well explained except for one thing I don’t understand. You installed a 60 amp disconnect on a unit using a 30 amp breaker. Can you explain that because from what I learned and been told is that a disconnect should be rated no higher than the breaker it is using.
@SkillSavvyDIY Ай бұрын
Yes, you absolutely can use a 60 amp disconnect on a circuit as long as the circuit is protected with the proper breaker which is a 30 amp in my case. You can always go bigger but never smaller. My disconnect is not fused, since I have a 30 amp breaker at the panel, but some disconnects do have fuses. If you used a fused 60 amp disconnect, you would have to use 30 amp fuses in it to protect the wiring which is rated at 30 amps. Hope this makes sense to you. Thanks for watching.

It really is Greg. I did my homework for at least 2 months prior to pulling the trigger on this PrimeWeld. Yeah, welding is kinda like riding a bicycle, you never forget once you know what to look for. The weld puddle tells you everything about what's going on. I'm a bit rusty but should be back on my game in a week or so.

I somehow had no idea you were a welder by trade. A master welder, at that. You know my dad is a mechanic and as far as I know, has never welded. I got into welding on my own and am completely self taught. Slowly figuring things out over the years. I have only recently (in the last year or two) started to play around with TIG. I wish I could get into the garage with you and pick your brain.
@SmokyRibsBBQ Ай бұрын
Hey cuz! Yeah I started welding at 19 years old. I went to a Vo Tech school and 3 months later I had my very first job as a welder. Tig is my favorite process over all of them. If you ever find yourself in south Mississippi, stop by and we will burn some rods.
@garryhammond3117 Ай бұрын
Thanks Rus - I've had to bolt things together than could easily have been welded, or hired welders to fabricat things for me. Having absolutrly no welding experience, I'd like to see some very basic welding techniques that I could use with a small station at home (probably mostly steel based). I'm a ham radio operator, so small brackets, supports, tubular items would be of interest to me. - Cheers!
@SmokyRibsBBQ Ай бұрын
Hey Garry! I definitely plan on doing some instruction videos for beginners that will hopefully help them understand the processes easier and faster and I also plan to do some more complicated welding for more experienced welders such as how to weld looking through a mirror, open root pipe joints, etc. Having a welder in your garage or shop is super handy for so many things and getting to a level where you can well small brackets and other projects would not take long with a little seat time.

I used to do a lot of SS welding at work back in the late 80's. Like yourself I missed doing the process. I bought a CK Worldwide MT200-AC/DC unit for the garage and to say I am happy is an understatement. Machines have really come along way. The smoothness of the foot current is outstanding. I used an inverter machine a few years back and you could see the digital steps in current as the pedal was used, it had very large jumps. I did not care for the unit. In a nut shell: Relearning and practicing TIG has been the most pleasurable thing I have done in years. Glad that you put this content together Rus. The timing has been perfect. Thanks!

@@user-qu4zl9rt7t What if the wire burns out in the middle? If it did then new wire would have to be ran anyway. If it burned out at the connections then I left enough to take care of that. Our code does not require to use any more wire than needed to make the connections, even though I did use a few extra inches. The breaker is designed to protect the wire and prevent them from ever burning out. If you have made good tight connections and the proper size wire for the circuit then there should never be an issue. Only receptacle boxes require you to leave 6" of wire from where the wire enters the box, and this is not a receptacle box.

Thanks Gary! Batteries still go bad in time, but this cart had pretty new batteries that the owner let run all the way down which caused the 36 volt charger not to kick in.
