AC Capacitor hacker strikes again

@Mike-01234 7 days ago

Why do home builders put the dryer vent right behind the AC units because they don't care what happens after you buy the house.

lol... Trane dealers hate Lennox, Lennox deals hate Carrier, Carrier dealers hate Trane. In reality, I think they are all built like crap now... nothing made to last, and WAY overpriced for what you are getting... What about Bosch?

I was a tech for 30yrs and I always kept 1“ wide strips of sheet metal 10”-12”long that I would cut from scrap on my truck . Very handy to use , and cost nothing . I would use the strips to mount capacitors, hang line sets , etc. work smart , and be safe !!!

Interesting and informative video. As a homeowner I tried to buy a replacement cap for my AC, but the supply houses wouldn't sell to me, here in Texas. I ended up buying a Chinee knockoff off of (there's a good Jeopardy answer) Amazon. Tested good with my Fluke. It worked and I sold a couple years later, before it failed early. I don't know how it is allowed under the law to not sell to the public. Also, that green vine looked like poison ivy growing behind the units.

Any tech that uses his fingers to check for a charged capisitor needs to keep the camera rolling so when he shakes and turns blue the homeowner will find him curreled up dead behind their unit. His insurance company (if he has any) can then deny a claim by his family and OSHA can use the video for training.

Love the finger test for charged cap. I always find licking your finger first is best to make sure it is completely discharged .....😃

I’m ready to do the same job on my Carrier - spare dual cap and contactor in the garage ready to go!

My dryer vent is about 3 feet from the A/C but doesn't have lint hanging on it. My wife cleans the dryer every load she dries. The dryer is about 25 years old.

See way too many drier vents dumping right onto outdoor units around here too!

"The builder should be fired for that" Yeah after he moves the dryer vent around the corner of the house

I love my Trane system. Had the XV18 with the TAM9 installed over a year ago. Awesome combination though it is more than my 1200+ square foot home requires. I can't say enough good things about it! And not to mention the HUGE savings it has provided in electric usage.

I clean the coils for free every time I’m servicing a unit.

I like to write the numbers right there inside the cabinet and along with the date that the new capacitor was installed Ted. I wish you would make that a habit. Plus, if every tech did that you would not have to go on a Jacque Cruseau exploration to try to hunt it down. Other than that one little tidbit, always very appreciative of your videos! Keep up the excellent work. Best regards; Edward in Connecticut, USA (and no, I am not a damn Yankee!“ :-)
