Was called to a rental because of no cooling, found a filter that looked like a carpet, iced up evaporator coil, complete with wasps, and a nasty return. #hvac #hvaclife #makita #rheem
all right we got
a call
on this one
saying it's not
cooling i got
this is a vacant
house and
hopefully
i got
keys so
uh we are
fixing
to go
in what's
down
there
but it
looks
like
a mess
i think
they got
a dirty
filter
i might
be able
to clean
that up
just
a little
bit
25 by 30. checking
this little hole
because
um around here
we got gopher
tortoises
and they
make holes like this and that's
not necessarily anything you'd worry about but um rattlesnakes
are
known
to stay
in the
holes
for the
gopher
tortoise
it's 410
or what
410a
2011
to 10
years
old
let's
see
if
it's
been
freezing
up
couldn't
doubt
it
after
seeing
that
filter
the
water
source this whole thing could use
a cleaning the uh gas meter
is back there so i'm thinking
there's a possibility we got if there's
a spigot back here i don't see it
but yeah there's my
meter
gotta be
a water
source
somewhere
no water
sources
i'm not
sure
my hose
will
reach
but i'm
gonna
try
it
wound
up
just
right
and
this
still
happens
a
little
bit
of
water
on
that
blower
motor
but
i
have repeatedly heard it making some strange
noises before i mean like every five minutes or
so it sounds like the bearing's about to go out
so i'm letting it run see if we can catch it
stopping that may be not the only problem
but the major problem all right we got most of the ice
ice off now i gotta go to the other side
if you think i'm done now wait till we look in the other
panel
and
the
whole
hose
i've
got i'm
cleaning
this
coal
as i'm
thawing
it out
come
out
and
clean that up now let's see what pressures
are i've still got
the return door open over here
pressures look much more normal do something i
brought this out here so i can put the water
hose on it then we'll have to see what i can
do about that little return box all right i put that
panel
back on
and see
that
filter
and
that
return
looks
like it
was the
biggest
problem
i've
been
doing
all
this
work
down
in
there
i
could
get
the
wasp
right
for
that
a
filter
and
try
to
clean
up
that return a little bit
this up and see
if i can't reach down in there
and get it we got a shovel
