A "screw driver mechanic" fixes an air conditioner in exchange for a sandwich. Also, a warning about a local HVAC company running a scam where they charge for expensive parts that aren't needed.
Funny thing is, the I T Landes website says you need five years experience to work there. I know nothing about air conditioning, but I learned how to fix this problem in five MINUTES.
I replaced capacitors in 1AESS circuit packs. You knew they were bad because they got red hot. I understand that AC capacitors (flux?) expand / inflate.
It would be interesting to know what voltage they were rated at, and what voltage was going through them. Electrolytics usually open when they fail, like the start capacitor. Non-electrolytics turn into resistors!
Corrupt bastards. Excellent video. Thank you.
Never would have imagined how much length of film there is inside those things!
Well done. A bad start capacitor and they wanted to replace the whole unit. I suppose the HVAC technician could see electrons!

Kill the power before the power kills you!
I like that motto!
you can buy an entire condensing unit for 1700
