Video Summary
AI GeneratedA technician diagnoses an older HVAC system that is failing to cool. After checking pressures and components, the technician identifies a failing fan motor capacitor and potential issues with the blower motor and refrigerant type, leading to a recommendation for motor and blower wheel replacement.
Guys, this is one that we put
a disconnect on not too long ago.
It's moving
some heat.
They said it wasn't cooling.
Pressure's
on it
real
quick.
As y'all can see, this is, the head pressure looks a little high.
The suction looks normal.
We may have something else going on,
like a condenser fan motor failing or something.
I'm about to start checking capacitors
and bearings and fire it back up.
you can tell this is an older
system they don't make them like
this anymore with separate spark
igniter here's my capacitor
for my fan motor
so we're fixing to check both
of those i can see
that this is a five
and it's reading 4.84
the um compressor
capacitor 42 i don't
look too healthy
but those
bearings feel
good check
my pastor
for the fan and i
swear it looks
like something
that's burnt right
there that's reading
8.5 i don't know
if y'all can see
that 8.5 microfarads
let's pull it and see what that's supposed
to be i suspect a 10 but um not all of those
spades are good some of those look like they got
hot and burnt yeah that's supposed to be a 10 but
replace this i'm gonna check
the bearings on that blower motor
and what i say this was reading like
8.5 and that's plus or minus six percent so yeah
this is low enough to replace i just i'm gonna
check that blower motor real quick this is we
are fixing to check that heat exchanger
orange brown
black red the
stainless
heat
exchanger so
that has been
replaced
that
shaft
looks like
it's had
some oil
on it
preemptively
because
i
think
it may
fail
it's a
weekend
i may
not get
approval
until
just wait until it completely fails but um inside
and i checked the temperature difference the thing
is working um a high head pressure
on that thing makes me think that it has been charged with an
alternate freon what was clean so i'm just gonna quote them
the motor and the blower wheel we get it
