Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe technician inspects an aging HVAC system with a clogged drain pan. What initially seemed like a simple drain issue revealed a failed condenser fan motor and a significant refrigerant leak. Due to the system's age (2001) and the extent of the damage, the technician concludes the unit is likely beyond economical repair.
Guys right now I'm one of the busiest people in town.
I literally have enough work for probably
three people and I'm doing it by myself.
Came across this job today. Oh look who's sneaking
around the corner.
Hey boy. It's okay boy.
I came across this job today.
Um was wanting to fix it
and move on but that wasn't
a possibility. Here we go.
We got another one
with water in the drain
pan. All right let's uh let's clear the drain
and then come up here and get this water. Okay I came
out thinking this was just going to be a clogged drain and it's not.
The condenser fan motor is not
turning.
Let me
get my
tools.
Looks
like
it's
bleeding.
This is
the age
of this
and the
amount
of rust I'm getting. I'm going to do a leak search
as well as look into this motor. This is what
greets
me
underneath.
It
spins
freely.
10 was
definitely
not
turning
and it's
hot.
Let's do
this real
quick.
I'm getting
9.3. That's
not enough
to stop
the motor.
I'll do it
right now
just a
second all
right so
the motor
is hot so i'm
fairly
certain
it was
getting
voltage oh
i'll see
what the problem is right here you
see this that plug is supposed
to be removed so motor is full
of water let's see
if i can show you see
if it drips any all
right so they're
gonna need a new
motor and six
amps 1.8 1.3
come on give
me 1075 rpm i
don't know if
y'all can see
that but i can
compressor fan motor FLA
1.4 quarter horsepower
all right now let's go
look up my own theory with
this once i saw all that rust
was that water in the drain pan
may be from it freezing up and um
we got a leak
up here that's
my theory
so far before
this starts
beeping
listen
to this y'all
hear that
i have
a hissing
leak
in there
i can feel
it y'all
see that
right
there
where i'm
putting my hand but it's leaking
pretty good so i'm glad i came
and checked okay i can barely
see this but this is a three ton 2001 system i don't know
if y'all can see that when i zoom in
on it but it's there i think it's done
for here we go somebody wrote
the model number here but
you can see it if you look close enough
in my opinion this one's done i'm gonna try to put
this back together
and show you what i found when i walked up
that's what i found we're gonna leave
the power turned off and they want
to fix it so we're gonna fix it thanks
for watching and i'll
catch you on the next one
