By: jessemc2. on 21 Jan 11, 08:03:52
The picture looks like a Moblie home unit, the coil is above the heating high voltage elements and blower, it needs a really big trap because its a high static or pressure blower!! (my money is on a coleman unit), they should keep a deep P trap inside and cut in a tee above it for cleaning like in your video, I have seen outdoor p traps freeze when they are deep because? the water dosent evap. before winter! But it depends on your climate!!

Okay so you are an angel.........we had a leak in the AC closet and thankfully l picked up on this due to my accute? hearing. I was driving my husband nuts telling him that l could hear this dripping in the AC unit. Not to give up on anything l came on here and found your video....wow you should have seen the pipe gush after l cleared the outside of it. Thanks for saving us a fortune...maybe my husband will thank us both some day....me for my determination and you for video.

By: DrZarkloff. on 18 Apr 09, 11:38:46
The trap in this case had to be tall enough to keep dirt from filling the pipe. It freezes here in Northern Florida a few times in the Winter.? We have lots of p-traps. I've never seen any around here freeze. I suggested to Idahodad to vacuum the water before the heating season just as a precautionary measure.

Out of curiosity ...
By: derrickb1974. on 18 Apr 09, 11:24:03
Out of curiosity DrZarloff, why must the trap be so tall? Also, Do you mean to physically hook up a wet/dry vac to the? condensate pipe outside and suck out the water in the trap before you turn on the heater. Or is this just to remove water in the trap so it won't freeze in northern climates and possibly crack the PVC pipe trap. Thanks

Having knowledge of ...
By: PutSome5tankOnIt. on 18 Apr 09, 04:56:59
Having knowledge of plumbing helps the HVAC tech. It's important to have an air gap downstream of the trap. This allows condensation to continue flowing downhill, even though the termination point is submerged in water. The standpipe for the air? gap should extend above the level of the drainpan. That would allow condensation to spill out of the secondary drain. I prefer to see the standard P-trap. It's shorter and easier to clean, and it can withstand the .1" WC static pressure.

If it is an you're? getting continuity between the terminals when the system is off then the relay is bad, as in stuck in the closed position.

Safety first! Don't put your hands in the cabinet until? you verify no voltage even with the breaker or disconnect off. Also discharge you caps. I can give prime examples of disconnects not opening with the lever down! I've been cap bit a time or two also. Make a habit of keeping your hands off uninsulated parts of your tools even with dead circuits.

By: woodstockslim. on 09 Mar 11, 16:23:09
Hello Dr. Z, From what I gathered Resistance to ground is? bad. Is it considered a short? Can you do another test to check for open circut in the windings of the blower motor? If there was an open though the motor wouldn't work. Im kind of thinking aloud. That is why he could smell plastic burning and breaker triping is probably because of a dead short in the circut. You do a good job on your video's. You should show an example of a very curtious tech and what to do when you arrive at the door

Just picked one up? the other day, coincidently I had a bad cond. fan motor after watching this vid..jk. Went ahead and paid $100.00 CDN for this little beauty, affixed the device to the shaft and I was able to spin the nut on the end of the puller by hand and the fan blade came right off...un freakin believeable...great tool, quite pricey for what it actually is though

By: PutSome5tankOnIt. on 08 Sep 09, 02:25:43
I don't work on alot of older systems. When I do, I drill down into the old motor shaft with a 1/4" bit (past the hub itself), put my drift into the hole and? WAIL on it with a 24 oz hammer. That hub puller is definitely on my shopping list now. Only $80, huh? It's a steal at twice the price!

Wow how did I miss this vid. That condenser looks like it's in rough shape but heck as long as you are getting reasonable subcooling you have nothing to worry about. Remember that bashed up Lennox condensing unit I showed in? one of my vids. Well I spent about 3 hour's straightening the fins on that condenser and blew her out with some nitrogen and coil cleaner and she's getting adaquate subcooling now :)
