So, What Caused it to Short ⚡️⚡️Watch ‘til The Test!

all right guys y'all might remember this one because of these ants those things have already started to come back i gotta do a repair on the heat strips first i'm gonna verify that i have no power and then we're gonna i just washed those out of there they gotta get some ant killer out here i'm gonna verify we ain't got no power i'm gonna make my repair and then we're gonna test our heat see how it does only got one power source all right this is what i found this one had actually been see if you can see it it had actually been welded right there from the electricity to the um this plate right here all right so i need to get a nut driver and put a wrench on that and see if i can't get these get these out of there without damaging my heat strip real easy to um to break that ceramic that's under there and these if you look at them are really nice for getting into tight spots to put a backup wrench on something it looks like that piece just broke and then it fell over and touched that panel right there that's solid i love these strippers by far the best i've used there we go it is worth it sometimes to have the exact replacement that ceramic is old so it's real easy to tighten down and break something all right so we're fixing the it don't really matter which one goes to which one of these wires goes to which tie that mosquitoes are eating me up you know what zip ties are real cheap i decided to leave that there because i don't want it actually vibrating up against the metal zip ties are cheap and helps to make a job look good all right now we're going to put power back to it and then we're going to jump out the heat because i can't get in right now that ant's in there too see i need a jumper because this morning i just heard these limits clicking maybe not there's my jumper we got power let's jump let's jump from red to white here i'm hearing what sounds like limits clicking i have no column on white let's see something nothing nothing 240 volts hold on just a second that's that's one of my heat strips that sequins are stuck and that may be part of the reason that um heat strip you know shorted like that so i'm gonna kill power we're gonna have to replace that making sure i don't have power nothing to ground nothing to ground that i know this top one right here is for the blower so i'm gonna put i chose this is what i had i chose one the m5 and m6 because it comes on it's time to come on after that one it's not going to be the first one to come on things were on there need to tap a screw down in that low voltage that's loose my god the mosquitoes out here are terrible there's got to be some standing and water somewhere near around forgive me i i thought i heard somebody walking close to me in these sticks over here and uh in some of these neighborhoods you got to keep your head on a swivel let's try that again i had to go check and see what i was hearing all right so i have i'm testing between and white and i have no call i'm testing the bottom of the sequencers and i have no call so i should have 240 volts across there's actually three sets of contacts here all right all that's good so now jump from red to white first thing to close should be these right here which brings on the blower next thing to close should be that first set of heat strips so that sequencer I just installed should I here in just a second all right now let's take our jumper off and make sure that everything cycles off like it's supposed to no voltage voltage this should show 240 240 the blower should show 240 it does and finally this last heat strip 240 so not only did we make a repair we may have found why that thing burnt the way it did and fixed it so we're good to go could not have been surprised by another problem being found after finding that limit and the heat strips in that condition yeah i was not expecting that i caught it on camera thanks for watching guys
