Wow. No one has an idea?
I am relaying this issue from my very experienced tech.
reversing valve on a goodman R22 HP has been failing at cap-pilot connection, either at hot gas or suction.
4 and counting.
Goodman has suggested many solutions, all followed but no inprovements.
No vibration seen, no slugging, new compressor with looped hot discharge to absorb vibration.
Anyone Seen this?
Wow. No one has an idea?
Would have if it wasn't R22. Goodman warranty some valves.
I understand the valve is under warranty, but are you eating the labor to do all that or is the customer?
4 reversing valves and a new compressor and it's still blowing the cap tube..... hmmm
Did this just start since the heating season?
No heating here yet!
Not sure, but I think been dong it since last year.
Not customer.
4 times since 2008
So the info is from your tech, but it's not your customer.....
Step in and sell them a new unit.
my customer. Unit was new when problem started
