    I know this is a 7-year-old video, but this just saved me from a $90+ service call that was 5 days away. The vents were blowing out "luke-warm" air, and all it took was pushing the fans in the condenser and the air is back to normal! Not sure why it randomly happened now since it's the beginning of July, but regardless I'm grateful that a free KZread video was all the help I needed!

    The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install kzread.infoUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC

    Several days ago only hot air would come out. I called out an HVAC guy and paid $320.00 to get my AC fixed. Then a couple of days later my second unit did the same thing. Now I'm thinking, "Did this guy sabotage my second unit?" I know, what a thought. But for both units to go out within days of one another? Anyway, this time I went to You Tube University. I watched your video and a few others and was pointed toward the capacitor. I followed your instructions, and now $28.00 later and the time and gas it took to pick up the part, my AC unit blowing out cold air again! I'm not mad at professionals who make a living off of customers without the knowledge or time to DIY. But I am immensely grateful for people like you who graciously, and so competently, make knowledge available so people with the time and inclination to DIY can do so. $320.00 vs $28.00 Incredible!!!

    Woke up at 3AM on a Sunday with the A/C out. After getting over the initial shock and drying off from a pool of sweat (gross!) I stumbled across this video. BEST VIDEO EVER! Took me step by step on diagnosing the problem. Couldn't believe it was the capacitor (flex capacitor, lol). Got it fixed the next day and cooled the house down. Saved hundreds of moolah. Thanks bro. This was really cool (no pun intended - well maybe a little).

After checking the temp of the 2 tubes going into the furnace, I checked the outside unit and found the landscapers had severed the thermostat wire. I simply had to strip the 2 wire ends, and re-attach, and it worked. Thank you for the great video!

Used a knife sharpening rod from our kitchen set to get it going (night time so didnt want to go look for a stick), gave it a good push and now its running (scared the hell out of me when the blades started turning and hitting the sharpening rod - lol).

    I watched this video from start to finish and it helped me a great deal! We had recently moved into a new home and was wondering what we got ourselves into with respect to the HVAC system we inherited. We thought maybe the insulation in the attic is THAT bad that the 2nd floor felt like a sauna on a summer night, or that we were doing something ridiculously stupid like not knowing where the "on" switch is to help the adjustments we were making on the thermostat actually happen. I went through the checks he had described from the basement inside the home to outside. I went almost all the way through his examples of things that could be going wrong. I soon discovered that my problem was that sometime before we had moved in, an animal had chewed through electrical wire running from the outside unit into the home. It was an easy replacement of a short portion of wire that resulted in my system running as it should! I am thankful to have watched this video and appreciate the help buddy!

    My fan was stuck! Thank you so much! My ac has been working intermittently, and of course when the repair guy came out, I left work to meet him and walked in and it was a brisk 70 degrees in here.... so I couldn’t prove my issue. he checked all fluids, they were great, and tried to tell me it had to be the air filter (which I replace every two months with high micron filter for my allergies), yet it wasn’t barely a month old, and it wasn’t dirty. I knew it had to be something simple that I was over looking. Thank you for your informative, yet to the point video. I now know everything to check next time something goes wrong!

    thanks on the response. i called a tech and he ended up putting two pounds of freon and since i helped with the tear down and assembly cause i wanted to learn, he only charged me $112. I thought it was fair. It was hot and we had an abnormal sight of an infestation of killer mosquitos in the area. So, between the mosquito bites, and our sweat I think we did ok. We couldn't find the leak though? He said that it might be too small to see. I asked him if there was a color die but he said that my unit is too new and would not work well with anything but the right freon? I am not sure on that explanation but I was happy that I had A/C. Thanks for your info, it helped a great deal. GE.
