need your running amps buddy... a blower motor can come on, but after some time, can reach above its amp rating, then shut down on a thermal and ahem, screw everything up.. so many possibilities a...

picking up chatter perhaps, check the contactor...


OR its going off on low/high pressure... Overcharged etc. Sounds more like that to me.. But I am not gonna argue, yet I have gone behind techs...

sigh, ok I just remember when a HVAC service tech, was a actual trade, not a non skilled ask the internet type of job...

Sorry if I am a bit negative but I am a lil tired of people calling...

you should get a cert,after totaline courses. Since your listening, next time... Make sure you have liquid going to the air handler furnace etc. AT the txv... If you have liquid its more then...

I have never seen a residential 6 ton system...

:gah:

why techs are arguing over it is not comforting...

I thought this was tech to tech chat? Not Amateur to PRO advice.. :bump:

I guess we will find out if your right... If the expansion valve was closed the Heat pump would be pulling a vacuum and yes icing up, on occasion this occurs when installers who get paid 8 bucs an...

um... did you look at the pics?:):):rules: Not sure who did what but I am guessing those pics are of the old txv... I would not install a txv looking like that...

yea I mean the client can buy these at lowes or home depot.. Its not fair to the client to charge them service to repair such a cheap product..We are pro's guys...

Its an old system, how it sounds.. You have to get your wet bulb and dry bulb in order to charge the system properly bro, your super heat is high more then likely because its not charged properly. ...

because the installer was a hack!!! That looks like ****.. Without seeing the bulb, no one can really give a decent guess, dumb asses probably. over heated it.. I have replaced many expansion...

Man don't waste your time. Labor alone will pay for a new window banger...

What the hell is the problem...

Tell him to buy a new one, and walk away trust me the trouble is not worth the...

that makes no sense.. in order to get 24v you need 24v and a common in this case your Y.. Why you ohmed out the coil I have no clue its pretty elementary to determine if your contactor is bad.. ...

sigh, most techs do not know how to get proper SH these days... Speaking of which I ran into a call the other day Oh nevermind... I had to correct a tech the other day on how to get a proper SC...

I have anti-blow back gauges, if I am on a REAL service call, I always pull out my sman3 suitcase if you take your hoses off correctly you will not lose any or very little refrigerant in the seal...

wow..

the breaker...

What?! What is your load between l1-l2 across the contactor? Compressor going off on an open circuit? Going off on thermal? Sounds like you need to call the service tech man.. You sound very...

well man if I had to guess at 1am, I would say no.. Y in a furnace if its has a xmas tree strip would be for the blower motor speed. Tell your friend to take the Y, from the tstat and connected it...

I would have responded sooner but I had to run a emergency service call. Message boards are so tongue and cheek man, LOL You have to advise the client running the system with it slugging back to the...

Some people can just fix things, and other cannot, or some people just have to blow up a few compressors before they figure out they have to pull a vacume etc. etc. When I was a rookie, I just did...

sounds like common is wired up to w2, might wanna check the fuse to the board bender at the control panel on the wall. Try pulling out the batteries and see if the controller turns off. If so...

Yes the expansion valve can prevent slugging to a point, don't go testing it out by leaving a system run without a blower making cfm's. LOL damn right the customer needs to know, because if the...

I have 2 sman3's the first one I got, I admit I beat to crap.. My thermocouple receptacles do not work anymore, I just use it now as my default set of gauges and for my micron gauge.. My second set...

thats a big leak if damn near flat lined on a 410a system...

I still to this day poke condensers on roof's with a scew driver.... The lineset was the ground by the way.. I would walk away from anything like that... I do not think I would even want to...

i AGREE with what he said, if your guages are dropping 1-3psig, after 20 mins, use you soap etc, check your joints etc. tighten your wing nuts etc. use a slight amount of refrigerant with nitro etc....

First of all it takes a long ass time to pressure test a residential line set at 150psi.. It can take a long time to determine a leak in a line, I am assuming this is residential you asking about.. ...

::DD:::DD: 40 lbs of 410a.. Thanks man..

finding leaks, is a virtue, I have learned in this trade.. It takes patients, most techs are lazy I have learned, and will just juice up a system, and...

WOW....

One thing I always make time for... Manufacturer name plates/reference... Going to have to flush the living hell out of that sealed system, change expansion valves, filter dryers,...

You have to give ALLOT more info to be asking Service techs, what we think is wrong with you machine... What kinda refrigerant you using a blend? R22? How many stages in this HEAT PUMP? Is it...

I do not need digital gauges, BUT the sman3 is worth it...

that makes sense, I know this is a lil off topic, but I hate lennox, I see the ad, in your pic, I had to replace one of their notorious outdoor expansion valves, along with filter dryer and...

we have two jugs sitting around our shop, one of these drop ins, is more efficient then r22, capacity wise, we have it as a option, but r22 was phased out , etc only thing I would see these drop ins...

in addition some of these drop ins, you have to CHANGE THE OIL, not worth it in the end, your not helping the home owner, they tried this crap with r-11 also, it never went anywhere..

:angel:...

hell ya it voids the warranty..

I am not even going to explain...

But they will void the warranty...

you need to take the temps of CU, at the air handler and at the condenser.... ALso check your compressor, something looks really retarded with your readings... If you just got outta school then you...

sigh, what kinda carrier system? Model? serial? or at least just the model ...
Makes no sense what so ever....

the dumbest call I have gone on was when I got sent out on a call from my dispatcher, on a Sunday, afternoon, its was a no cool.. So I head out drive about a half hour, and arrive at this house that...

thanks... For a moment I thought something was wrong with me... Just for a moment...
