No cooling on a 26 year old system. I replaced a capacitor, and contactor. But, finding the air handler was half the job.

Video Summary
AI GeneratedA technician investigates an HVAC system that stopped cooling. After discovering the outdoor fan was not running, the technician inspects the unit and the attic drain pan. The repair involves replacing the contactor and the capacitor to restore functionality and ensure the system is properly secured.
All right we just pulled up on a no cooling call.
I have no idea what the issue is here.
She said it wasn't cooling and that's all we know
so we're fixing to go in and see what's going on.
All right she told me she checked outside
and last night and the fan was not running.
What
in the
world
do I
have
here?
They're
like
the
looks
of it.
The
fan
was
not
turning
so let's see
Come across
stuff like
this so
often.
Sometimes
you just get
resigned
So that's the way it is
Let's kill power and check these
Get
in
the
attic
and
check
that
drain
pan
because
if
it's
got
floats
with
and
that
was
loose
that
says
45
38 your
tune
before we
replace
that I
get a
45-5 let's go
up and look
at the drain
pan in the
air heated
up there
up there
is my access I
know sometimes
finding
the equipment is
half the job tell
you what let's
move this ladder a little bit you see
those rocks right there I think
that's a roof they built a
roof over
a roof
that's what
they did
that drain
pan's dry
that's an old
air handler
it's really
all I wanted to see we are about to change that
contactor and um replace this in this for a 45.5
and see
if we
can't
get it
mounted
up in
there
like it
needs
to be no
dangling
capacitor
here
I
didn't
get
video
of me
checking
the
bearings
on the
condenser
fan
motor
amp
draws
and
pressures
but all that checked out fine the question
is did I find why the condenser wasn't running last night
the question is you know I'm not a hundred percent certain
but I do know I've left it in better shape
than I found it
Sometimes that's all you can do.
