I wonder how the compressor survived.
Perhaps this AC deserves a monument for its willingness to work when everytning is against it.
Great big picture repair, man!

I remember when that coremax tool was decently its like $600-800 for it. I used to have one many years ago...I believe I paid like $175. This was like back in 2007, 2008 time frame. They haven't changed or improved it since then either. The price of everything has sky rocketed. Seems like every company has gone along with the the price...raise it again. I normally with coremax nowadays is just throw a swivel tee on them when they are leaking, unless the leak is from the threads

Woah, seeing that 3rd leg of the compresslr going to the cap is insanity.

As a new tech, watching you know the ABCs, airflow before charge is a great reminder. We were just taught and reminded by our superiors to know our ABCs.
This is something I totally may have missed as far as taking the time to wash that evaporator coil.
Great stuff as always.!

That is the same high flow core used on Goodman units. That tool is expensive. The manager at a local supply house found out that if a unit is under warranty, he could submit the tool with the valve core and get the tool covered under warranty. Im not sure if icp, Temp Star, bryant, or Carrier would, but Goodman will.

I can’t believe how much this channel has grown. I remember subscribing when you had only a grand total of 4 or 5 videos. Yes, I always live by your motto “Big Picture “ & because of it, it makes me a better technician at my facility & helps me to catch problems that my fellow coworkers miss or do not see. Of course I also recommend your channel to them but they do not watch or want to educate themselves. That’s ok though. Their loss is my gain. Thanks Chris for these great videos. I’m located to the south of you in San Diego.

I’m really glad you circled back to how beat up that evaporator was lol I’ve been trying to teach the younger guys to look at the big picture

[laser-sj]

WOW ! The wiring in that unit is a bit untidy ! 😂

18:54 - I actually like that tool, looks like you're changing the schrader through the ball valve.

[ntsecrets]

I’m sure this was a great relief for the kitchen staff too.

[ElectricRob]

Thanks for taking the time and effort to record your troubleshooting ! Makes the job take longer, but is great for us watching!

[SmithKQPAQ]

That viper coil cleaner is great stuff! We use it for all out PM’s on reach in!

[NewDestinationEng]

Chris your videos are absolutely full of experience and information. Please keep them going. Any recorded service call is a new lesson!

I'm in the field for 10 years and I've done bidding, installs, maintenance, projects and automation and I'd love to work with you guys (I've already emailed you a resume before).

[israelquintanilla]

Thank you for these videos definitely helps a lot you showing us your knowledge how you explain these things. You’re actually local to me so good to know we have guys that care in my area thank you!

[johncote]

As a service tech we have to do "detective" work. You sir are a great de-tech-tive.

"Always look at the big picture of life" *humms along* :D

Holy moly, what did they do to that poor Evap?
Also with nothing holding that filter, I think there is a high chance it gets sucked againgst the coil, sucks up condesation and then blocks the airflow

[CSXRailfan]

On those units you can take the panel for the supply off of the side and use it to cover the duct it’s the same size

[Skylersteel]

Watching your video inspires me. Don’t know a lick about hvac but I’ve been learning from you. You do a lot of thinking and your right no one is perfect but you do a lot of brainstorming and always go back to square one

[emylrmm]

a couple of grand to get it working looks a lot better than $15, 000 for a new package unit, which needs crane rental to get old one off and new one on the roof.

[metalfusion]

nice work walking us thru the repairs and diagnostics A++++
