Melted wiring like you see in this disconnect is usually caused by high resistance, rather than a short circuit. Reason being is that wires are designed to take the max current of the circuit breaker without overheating, ever. The only way something will get melted is if the current carrying capability of the wiring is limited, in this case, by a loose screw. There is always a slim chance that the breaker is welded closed AND there was a short circuit, so it's still necessary to check for a short in the capacitor, the fan and compressor motors, just as you see in this video.

I think there was so much wrong with the unit that Steve didn't check everything. Just get the old beast running for now. . .

Howdy Steve and Miss Molly

Man, these business owners let that unit go to hell then call you in to fix everything on it, i guess they have never heard of preventive maintenance 🤦🤦

About 7 years ago one of my disconnects (it was a switch not a pull out) melted and must have caught on fire all charred around it. Lucky the house didnt burn down. . It popped the breaker. Luckily, I was able to pick up another one locally and just swap it out. Reset the breaker. And it's been fine for the last six years. No idea why it happened, but now, after watching your video. It must have been loose connections in there from the prior homeowner.

Nice driving footage after the first half~!!! Digging this one for sho!

Keep rocking & rolling Steve & Mrs Molly... Got bless

Nice new intro to your video with the disco ball

Wow, a lot of problems in that one Steve! Good fix!

It's a Crusty one Mr. GRINCH.

Nice job Steve!!

Gotta watch this one again

Thanks Steven, this one was different!

Melted disconnect happened on my condo unit. They used those cheap builder disconnect switches and saved 20 cents apparently and the wire was loose causing the pullout plastic to melt.

Hello Steve!

I dont blame U for playing in straight. It doesnt pay to take chances.

Steve, what have you done with those 10 John Deere tractors you worked on when you were shut down because of Covid?

i have had to change the cap in my furnace for the lower motor, it was still working but it was slow at getting up to speed.

Great job, Steve.I knew you would figure it out you and miss Miley.Take care

She's a Runner!

hi steve always, I watch your video. It’s helpful a lot. i just got my diploma in hvac 2 years ago please can you help me with the low voltage wiring for bosh ids heat pump with heat strip i use t4 Honeywell thermostat thank you

I’m having trouble with my central A/C unit which is an Ameristar American Standard brand. I was pretty surprised when the guy next door who was licensed in HVAC said this unit is a 1990 something unit making it close to 30 years old. So far he was having problems getting it to work & said he’s going to look at a valve at the furnace next. I don’t know all the troubleshooting methods but the fan goes on & it was somewhat cool-he had testing devices so we’ll see. I’ve read the average life of these central A/C units is like 15 years old so it looks like I just might have to replace this unit

My Lennox condensing unit lasted 27 years which is a long time considering the installer never put a dryer on the liquid line.

@@picklerix6162 Well, 27 years is really good but since that’s about the level I’m at now, it may be time for me to replace it. I’m going to start researching these brands-I’m thinking they’re not made like the old ones as everything has cheapened over the last decades

You just know that Karen demanded to see that daycare's manager because her precious little Brayden and Jayden were slightly too warm for 2 days

Dang! New Fedex truck and brakes are squealing already

Need to service your stuff.

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍

I would have checked both while they were out just in case to save a bit of time in case both were bad as is what happened.

How many microFaggots was that swollen one? I enjoyed the Video!👍☺️

A pile of American Standard. Steve

YOU'RE AH MEAN ONE STEVIE LAV ...NICE JOB
