Hi,
New here. It appears that I am locked out. Am not a professional. I am an amateur.
However, every time I have a professional "fix" my air conditioner, I have to repair the repair.
By the way, the ohm resistance on my Goodman compressor appears to be 6.8 ohms. The start capacitor that the "Professional" replaced burned out the connecting wire. Replaced the wire, now will be shopping for the correct capacitor.

I too am having trouble viewing the educational forum boards, the number of posts show 20, yet I see none.
I am a newbie by all regards, studying the 608 manual online for kicks and giggles.

Why are so many saying they may have to go non-union to get work?

Never been in a union so I am trying to understand, I always thaught the union guys had it better.

thanks

Hello all, I am looking for a little bit of help!
I am 608 Class I certified but unemployed...I have applied for professional membership but I have not had a response and I do not have access to the personal messaging system, am I missing something?

Any help would be much appreciated!

When did you apply? Depending on the season it could take 10 - 14 days for them to get to your application. If it has been longer than this you should send the committee a note asking for updated info about your membership upgrade.

As far as PM's, Only Professional Members have PM abilities. Up until a few years back no one on this site had PM abilities. The main reason was to keep DIY from asking members in the back ground for DIY help. This still hold true until you are approved for a free account upgrade.
