Your video is the best. By far!
Appreciate that & glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching Rebecca & subscribe to the channel 👍
Thanks, man! I'm not sure if this is my issue but this has been the most original solution I have seen so far while trying to sort out a problem with a new Goodman outdoor unit. I had it installed 4 months ago but I've been having nothing but problems out of it whenever it climbs above 80F outside. I've replaced the zone board and thermostats but it behaves exactly the same. The company that installed unit thinks it's the zone board and refuses to come back out without charging me more money.
Well I hope you get it figured out. With it being only 4 months old they should definitely come back out at no charge to see if the system they installed is working properly. It could be under charged. If they installed it 4 months ago which would have been in February, the temperature wasn't that warm & they wouldn't have been able to dial in the correct charge with February's temperatures & now that it's the summer & hot outside it can be charged properly. They should have told you that they would have to come back at the beginning of the summer to dial in the charge on the system since they couldn't have done that in February without a heat load on the home.

Haven’t seen a video from u in awhile glad to see you back. Let lex know u gave him credit I watch him all the time. I also watch Steve lav he’s hilarious
Yeah I've been so busy at work & haven't had the energy to edit/upload any videos lately but I'm gonna try to get back on a schedule with the videos. Thanks for watching bro 👍
You should have after checking for in coming voltage and you had 240 volts and then went to see if you had it coming out of contactor next. You got there in the end though!

Audience, Great Job.

Great video and explanation
@@tonyherrera9175 Appreciate that! Glad you liked the video & it helped out. Thanks for watching Tony & help support the channel by subscribing bro 🛠️👍
I clicked on this because I bought a house with 3 zones and naturally. 1 is blowing out warm air. Good info.
Appreciate that. Thanks for watching alpappalardi7044 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance I did subscribe. Now if I can only get the service guy here. 😀😀😃. Getting hot this way
@@alpappalardi7044 I hear ya. Good luck with the service repair.
Nice work as always! 👌

Can a missing flashing piece on the air handler where the evap coil and main cover meet cause the ac to not cool properly? There’s a big gap so my thought is that the blower is pulling air from that gap and not thru the evap coil so it’s not efficient. But my maintenance guys have been here 4 or 5 times and can’t figure it out.
Yes, it will cause the system to not operate properly. You most likely won't have much air blowing out the vents & not pulling the air over the evaporator for the refrigerant to absorb the heat & remove it from the apartment. Thanks for watching Kevin & Subscribe to the channel bro 👍
Great video! Question for you boss:
I have a 3600, 2 story house. AC downstairs is working flawlessly, upstairs is hot af. I go out to the AC, downstairs unit is blowing out hair out, upstairs unit is blowing cold air out. Is the upstairs unit not pulling the hot air from the house and pushing it out? If so, is it because of the condenser ? Can it be just because it’s dirty? But if it is the condenser, would changing the capacitor like in your video, work?
You're on the right track by noticing there's cool air blowing out of the condenser, it's honestly impossible to say exactly what the issue is without seeing it. It definitely could be the capacitor that is bad which isn't starting the compressor but it's starting the fan. Or it could be low on refrigerant & not performing properly, it could be a loose wire, an airflow issue, etc....But if you have a meter that does microfarads you can check the capacitor. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching Henry & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance thank you for this response. I was actually waiting on your response to take some course of action. I’m going to check out the capacitor and see if it does anything. If there are leaks, where would the leaks be? By the unit ? Or inside the house?
@@henrymenendez7655 a leak could be in the coil at the air handler, at the coil outside, a braze joint, etc....you would need a refrigerant leak detector to find a leak.
Great 👍🏻 video like always keep them coming
Appreciate that bro! I have a hand full of videos I need to edit & upload. I've been so busy at work lately I haven't had the energy to edit/upload them but I'm gonna try to get back on a schedule of one video a week or every 2 weeks. Thanks for watching 🛠️👍
Well you do a through all job
Appreciate that. Thanks for watching Me that loves cats & subscribe to the channel 👍
Nice if you told us what brand your working on
It's a Goodman. Thanks for watching 🛠️👍
Great job! Good thing it wasn't the compressor! My compressor is out now and it's over 100° ! 🤬🤬
Damnnnn that sucks!! Get a portable in that apartment.
Notice you check both capacitors with different leads on the meter for example you put the black lead on the common and the red on the fan in the herm which is normal but on the new capacitor you put the red on the common and the black on the Herm and then the fan why did you switch the wires of the multimeter. Just asking
Great question that alot of people aren't sure of. The answer is, it doesn't't matter which lead from the multimeter goes to common, herm, or fan. As long as you have one lead on common while you test the herm & fan terminal it doesn't matter if it's red, black, green, orange, blue etc...when checking microfarads. There's not a positive/negative in this situation. Once again, great question & Thanks for watching Mafiaboyz3573 & Subscribe to the channel 🛠️👍
Great job what model meter you have
That meter is the Uei DL389. Thanks for watching Michael 💪
I’ve been working for a week as a maintenance assistant for the local housing authority. How did you get into maintenance?
Do you like it so far? I've been doing maintenance for 20 years now, started out while I was in high school as summer help working with my dad as he is a service director for a property management company. It's a really good career if your serious & willing to learn. Lots of opportunities out there. Let me know if you have any questions or anything. Thanks for watching Yahweh & Subscribe to the channel 👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance Done.
I’m liking it so far. Wishing I would’ve gotten into the career sooner. Your videos do a great job explaining the things I encounter on the job. Thx for sharing your knowledge with us newbies.
@@yahwehvii6059 No problem! Plenty more videos to come 👍
Awesome, learned a lot!!
Glad the video helped out! Thanks for watching Martin & Subscribe to the channel if you're not already 👍
But I think he could have just removed the bug and called it a good fix.
Sounds like you got the bugs worked out.
😂 Yes got the bugs worked out of that unit. Thanks for watching Duane 👍
Can come fix my unit im sure all though repairs you just made need to be done to my unit
Where you located lol, if your system hasn't been serviced in a year or more than I'm sure it needs a good clean & service. Thanks for watching jlbrooke819 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍

No grommet through that sheet metal, horrible build quality.
Agreed! For that exact reason is why I've had quite a bit rub the coating off the wire & blow the 3 amp fuse. Thanks for watching akbychoice & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
I just watched a UA-cam about AC blowing warm air and he found out it was because of a bad cap on the air handler.
@@crand20033 Yeah there could be several reasons why a system is blowing warm air when it's in cooling mode. Thanks for watching crand20033 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍

Shit a bug in the contactor. Now I see computers aren't the only things that malfunction because of bugs.
@@crand20033 Yep, a bug can definitely stop the flow of electricity when it's laying on the contacts. Thanks for watching crand20033 & help support the channel by subscribing 🛠️👍
@@ApartmentMaintenance I makes sense but what would happen if you just removed the bug? Do you think the contactor would work again and you can avoid replacing it?
@@crand20033 If the contacts are in good shape yeah.
You wear gloves to prevent your hands from getting dirty? Lol
I wear them when entering people's homes. Thanks for watching Bible Bloopers.
