    I just want to say that your video explanation was very easy to understand and the greatest for people who do not have knowledge in HVAC.I also looked at other videos and I thought my multimeter was defective the way they explained it. GREAT JOB KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK.!

    Video was a huge help, thanks. My yellow wire was corroded and broke off the terminal on the compressor. I cleaned up the terminal, cut the corroded part off the wire, installed a new connector and the A/C works.

    Old hvac student but never done ac until lately.. great video though! But sometimes is very hard to ge t to the compressor pins .
    Went to check a not starting compressor the other day when , put a new dual cap, compressor would not start, when I checked for ohms one the lines was OL, didn’t check for ground.
    All of these I checked form the wires coming from the compressor.
    Made a mistake not taking the harness off compressor and checked each wire for continuity.
    Keep these great videos coming.
    Rafael from California will appreciate it.
    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes but try to learn as much as possible from school or any source you can get hands on before going out there and misdiagnose a unit.

    • @johnconnor7501
      @johnconnor7501 2 роки тому

      Pretty sure it was a run cap. A bad start cap usually explodes because potential relay went bad and you would have to replace that too.

    Thanks ,that’s a great job. I suggest a proper insulation resistance test should have been carried out with an insulation resistance tester (merger). More so you didn’t specify the expected normal resistance of the compressor to serve as an expected datum for comparison.
    Thank.

    Thanks for the video, still stumped though. I have a buzzing noise when the compressor tries to kick on, and it doesn't start. Capacitor is fine, contactor is fine, continuity of the wires is fine, resistance of the compressor is fine. I think that might mean it's something mechanical with the compressor itself?

He said on blower motor if I disconect the cool terminal wire on circuit board and connect the bottom black wire to cool terminal that ( this is what I'm not sure what he said and needed to talk to him ) if it works ( or doesn't ) that means board is bad NOT the motor ?? OR is it the other way around ?? And yes replaced capacitor . Still the same barely running the blower not full speed and shuts down after a while with new capacitor
