Goodman condenser unit with a Goodman 3ton a fram coil.
Any idea buddy is at a lost and just left on vaction and drop it my lap. 1st year tech.
Ok sorry about the spell check thing being a tech noone is looking at your spelling just able to understande it. Well I just got a hold of my buddy and he thinks that it a bad compressor(compressor valves). The first day we install had 17 degree spread 90 degree room temp and a 73 degree discharge from the closes vent to the blower. She call the 2nd day being too hot still I check it out 15 deg spread 84 room temp 69 discharge today I went over 80 room temp 67 discharge which is 13 degree outside temp avg 95 deg. Suction pressure is between 80 to 72. Clean the blower and check the fan speed(which it was running on high). He will not be back off vaction until Saturday. I do not install these things all the time (1st year tech) how often these are bad from the start. How I got involve I work with this guy and he said want some extra cash help him with this job and if there trouble check it out now I feel responseable for it. He want me to pull out the old ref. vac. it out for a couple a hours then put fresh ref. just in some case that something got into the system. By that time he will be back and then if that does not work we will install a new condenser unit.
Wow you are so far off I don’t know where to start
You guys installed it how deep of a vacuum did you pull?
What is your superheat?
Pull out refrigerant and put new in just in case????
Maybe bad compressor??????
You are only measuring the "split" nothing else
What did manual j say you needed??????
How do you know the blower should be on high???
Wtf like I said I don’t know where to start
Man no offence but you guys need to stay away from this stuff until you learn how to do it
And as far as a tech not needing to know how to spell well that’s just plain crazy
Yes people do need to be able to make it out and I am not as good at spelling as I would like to be but there is spell check and dictionaries
NOW DO NOT GO AND GET ALL PISSED OFF BECAUSE YOU ARE A HACK
STICK AROUND AND LEARN THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO DO IT
"pull vac incase 'something' got into the system! like what? rabid bull elephant? please go to a local supply house and get some ref. books! information is a good thing, no need to be "askairt" of that book learnin
I don’t always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos-Equis. I am the most interesting man in the world. Stay thirsty my friends.
first how do i use spell check on this dam thing
next i completely agree with dhvac. you have already learn your first lesson side jobs if you cant fix it dont install it. make you look bad and everyone else in the trade to. stick arround you will learn a lot here and all these guy and girls will help you. leave the side jobs alone till you learn more you will be better off in the long run trust me on that. i learned it the hard way also
