Probably should have someone come out and check the unit that knows what they are doing!

And please don’t let your son play with the capacitor. The thing hold 440v of electricity. If it discharges it hurts bad! Justin just call a technician you are wasting more money the. It will cost to fix it.

careful, do not put the electric heater too close to things that can burn! Should have a three foot clearance from any burnables.

Hi mate just wanted to say thank you for putting out your videos over Xmas I really appreciate it and look forward to seeing them. Thank you for taking the time to do this. I know it takes time from your family but it is really appreciated. Yes I know my life sounds sad but I look forward to them. Thanks once again ❤

I think you should check for varmint blockage on the air start with. May be a nest stopping air flow. It all needs cleaning. You are on the right track.

The capacitor looks fine and so does the motor. You have to get the heat pump to come on man.

I follow your channel and I am glad I did. I was about to give up trucking until I started watching your channel. I like your attitude and how you help others so that’s why I follow u. God bless you and your family sir 💯💯💯💯

Blower motors are set to low speed for heat, you can test capacitors with the unit running and outside of the unit. With a multi meter

Could be coil needs cleaning. But Justin if you haven't gone through all settings page 18 and onto the others, then it's going to be function 1 for value of 5, 2 for value of zero, and 3 for a value of one. Other settings not so much, but check those 3. Blower does seem to not deliver enough air tho!

Fan turns on so cap is good. You can test with a multimeter and is probably a 5mf. I think you need to change the setting to 2-0 on the thermostat and that will energize the reversing valve and compress outside fan should be on too. It isn’t going to hurt to try and change the setting on the thermostat. Next those ecm motors are expensive and I know you want to try and repair yourself but a hvac tech to diagnose is probably your best bet. Your are throwing parts at it and bot sure of your thermostat settings and wiring. Ted cook runs a channel in Greenville, anti diy hvac, he is a very good tech not sure he goes down that far to the lake house though.

good way and quick check to see if heat pump is working grab the coil lines going in the house and see if one is warm if they are both cold heat pump isnt working or reversing valve is not kicking in then you will need a tech to come out.

Hope you and your family had a good Christmas

Not sure what I liked more the Road Glide or the cold start on the Charger!

The capacitor only starts the fan. If it’s running it’s working. It would not spin if it was bad. I would check the filter. Your air flow has a restriction somewhere and the filter is the first place to check.

Note, if you have the same insurance company as the person who hit you, you will have to fight your insurance company for everything. We had this happen to us once. Good luck.

Very true.

Justin, please finish programming the stat before replacing any parts. Also, a heat pump system does blow lighter but longer as a function of design. You are not supposed to notice when it starts or stops heating. Their weakness is their failure to be able to keep up with extreme cold snaps. It's good to hire an expert until you get to understand how it works. (I'm not available from Sacramento)

The caps are good. They just help the motor start

Pour some -20 windshield washer fluid in your toilets and in the backs of the tanks. This will keep the water from icing up in your toilets. It also wouldn’t hurt to pour some down your sink drains also. We do this technique up at our cabin in Northern Wi and have never had an issue.

I always kept my key under my seat- in a bag- for tire changing.. in my truck. My car key is with the spare tire in the trunk- always keep where needed- with the jack

I live in Forest City and they have A giant warehouse at gemaire I picked up A couple capacitors today. But I’m with the others, not your problem feel the line set for warmth. I’ve got a lot of calls of people who’s heat pumps can’t keep up with this weather. Always best to have A alternative heat source.

@mwatkins2464

Alternative heat source is the emergency heat that he had turned off. The electric heat is what kicks in to supply heat when temperatures reach the 30’s for a heat pump. They actually make heat pumps that works in below freezing temperatures in heat pump mode

might want to take cover off over the heater part, make sure there is no blockage to air flow.

Good thing we bought some fireplace wood on that last trip. Keep warm bro.

Just a thought and idea. Are all the lines under the house connected and taped at the seams. When my dad bought his house I had to go under and help him because a few had come apart.

I've seen bad caps on the compressor, fan/air blockage could be a animal nest, or an insulation blockage somewhere. Troubleshooting is always fun... you'll get it figured out. Sure not as complicated as driving 18 speeds.

I'd get a new cap for that heat pump. My Pool motor burns through them frequently. I keep a spare since they standard on sorts of motors

Put a jumper on the red and white wire terminals on the control board outside and see if the fan and compressor come on. If it comes on i believe that tells you it is a tstat issue. Others here may be able to confirm that.

From what little I know, the big fan on top should be spinning also. See if that is locked up or it’s capacitor may be faulty also.

Love you guys, and heck yeah on the give aways.

I hope your heater starts working when you get a new part

Hey Justin, the capacitor looked okay though it should be tested. I would have the plumbing supply place tested before you buy one. They will certainly be pricey from a place like that whereas you can buy them on Amazon dirt cheap. By myself like tinkering this stuff like that however it comes a time where you just have to cut your losses and have somebody come look at it. Yes it will cost a couple hundred dollars however they will diagnose and fix in a much quicker time and will guarantee their work. Thanks for the great video as always! God bless and happy New Year!

Make sure thermostat is in heat pump mode those can be set either way

Just changed out my thermostat. Take picture of the original stat wiring. I used a sensi and alexa hooked up instantly when I turned on the ability. Set the Stat to auto and it keeps a nominal temp. Heats when it's cold. Cools when it's hot. The pic will aid in wiring the new Stat. The Stat I got has the jumper built in. Check yours to see if this is the same in yours. Never did a Stat change. Did it in less than 15 minutes.

So when I had this same issue in my apartment my maintenance man saw the capacitor was the issue...so it could be your capacitor. But im writing this before finishing the video so maybe you already got it figured out

Recheck your stat wiring and set-up programming

Looking good on the promo video

Hope you guys have a Happy new year, Keith Vermont Ole Timer

I had to swap tires on my daily driver so I could use it to rescue my hotshot truck from Florida. The 33's didn't have a high enough weight rating. Same problem with those lug nuts - they twisted like yours did. One lug was stubborn so I hammered a socket onto it and finally got it off. There's got to be a better answer for lugnuts! If your lake house was closer I'd look at your HVAC. I'm about an hour south of Haggai... that's a long drive! Some units run the fan slower for heat, but I doubt that's the case with an old Goodman. Very likely it's the capacitor as you probably already know by now...

I’m no expert but have you looked in the duct to see if there’s a blockage ? Just a thought. Good Luck! I’m only 18:21 into the video so if you fixed it disregard my suggestion !😊😊😊

conderser fan should be running also when in heat mode , which is the fan that you can see when the unit is all closed up, the fan that is turning is the evaporator fan which should also be running in heat mode. it could also be a bad pressure switch, fan control, low on freon, need to put a set of gages on the unit to see what is going on and make sure it is running at correct pressures.

i remember just a few months ago you had bought a new transmission for the cadillac truck and telling us you were going to be installing it yourself so now another transmission in the caddy but just about a week ago you showed someone doing circles in the caddy burning rubber in the parking lot where you park your truck so do you not think that abusing your vehicals like that could have caused the damage ?? also maybe i missed it but you never really explained how all that damage happened to the white truck . i saw no damage to the body so was someone burning circles in that truck and smashed against a curb because that is what it looks like to me. and where did the red truck disappear to did not see it at the lake house or at your other home .

The evaporator fan motor cap is fine. If it wasn't, the motor would not be turning. Those fan blades are half-moon shaped. If they have a slight bit of dirt on the front edges, the air flow will be weak. They are short little half-moon shaped strips running across. If you Google it, you'll understand if you see the picture of how they look. If you want, I can quickly go down to my workshop and take a picture if you want and email it to you. That or you have a leaking duct, and the air is escaping somewhere. But I would go with my first choice as your outside unit is very dirty and hasn't been serviced in a while.

Hey Justin buddy please do don't let you kid hold the capacitor I know they don't look like much but unless you know how to de-energize them they hold and store power that could hurt them badly if he gets crossed up the wrong way on the terminals they have been known to kill people.

most blowers like yours are 4 speed blowers, the one in my house was and it would start out fine on low speed(it was only wired for low and high) but when it was supposed to go to high speed it would just stop, a new blower motor fixed mine, a cheaper way to fix it is to change the wires to the 3rd speed that has never been used, just make sure to get a new capacitor, if it is weak it will kill your blower, but you will not notice much difference from high speed to 3rd speed

Hey Justin just a thought but what about changing your settings to 2 & 5 if that dont work just change it back to 1 & 5

Replace that capacitor that is on top of your fan outside Where you have the AC lifted up you can see the fan it's right on top with the wires on it

"cAn i ThRoW a RoCk aT iT?" LOL!!!!! kids are hilarious!

Just to let you know be careful with spavce heater as we have one close to the design you hace and they should be about 3 feet away from any combustables. Great videos just be careful with heaters.

The blower might need to be cleaned it might look clean but a lot of could be where you can't see try taking it out and give it a good cleaning with just soap and water and don't get the motor wet the dirt can build up on it and slow it down and it also can not blow like it should

I am no HVAC guy but I love watching their vids. Seems like that CAPs are a usual culprit.

Hi Justin I just hope you find the parts you need I wonder if you tried Amazon if not tried I have my there Hope you find soon get in colder

Dear Justin: Watching the video, I noted that the fan was slow, and that could be the cold(WD40?); Or the fan motor; or a critter's nest in the ducts... Good luch.

Many others have already commented... The capacitor is not your problem.. It only helps in startup. IMHO you need to look for air leaks under the house. $.02 At least that should keep the pipes warm ;-)

Harbor freight has a key kit for wheel lugs . Check it out big dawg. It has a few different sizes . Got me out of a bind.

I would have a professional look at it. Also check your filter.

IRWIN BOLT EXTRACTOR SET, I have had success removing many lugs with them. Worth a shot 👍

I had an issue like this once, one of the executives almost took me out in the parking lot at work on my bike. Wanted to just pay for the damage, found out how much the saddlebag was and said wife wanted him to go through insurance. His adjuster came out and said meh we can paint it and repair it.... I'm like it's special paint from Harley, and at that time it wasn't available to paint, had to get new bags. Argued with the adjuster. Told him, don't low-ball me and show up in a very expensive vintage Porsche and tell me you're going to paint my bag. Make sure you fight the wheel deal, they need to get you the exact wheel you had man.

Some of the wires I don't know that 1 has or not but there's like 2 different wires that have 2 different wires that have 2 different speeds on them

I could be wrong but the capacitor has nothing to do with the speed of the blower motor it's like a buffer for the amperage draw when the motor initially kicks on so it doesn't blow a breaker. Kind of like a battery. But 120 volt battery. They also use capacitors in car audio to buffer the amp from the alternator. For smoother power delivery. From my experience if the capacitor is bad the motor won't start at all.

Also check out your intake filter.

You need a new capacitor is not letting the fan turn full speed.

You should get some moth balls or coyote urine for mice, they love the wires

I think old tires for monster truck look better 🤔 hopefully it's a quick fix for the big girl

Maybe the air ducts are a bit clogged up given all the leaves you have around there. Looks like with the fan speed you have you should have more air.

Check the fan and see if it is free and Check out the run capacitor.

Here in northern Ohio, we don't like heat pumps. Natural gas is the way to go bills are a lot cheaper.

Depends on the state re: insurance. My state doesn't require insurance! 😱 If you don't have insurance, you pay a fee to the DMV every year as part of the vehicle registration. My husband was hit by one of those drivers :(

A capacitor wont change the blower speed they are set to a lower speed for heat.

When ever the temp. outside gets below 32 it's time to turn on emergency mode. This will heat the home via the heat strips built in.When the cold snap is over and outside temp is above 32 you can go back to normal heat.

Not a decent one then - mine uses about 600w to produce as much heat as a 3kw fan heater when the outside air temperature is -7deg. Easily the most efficient system I've ever had, of any sort. The 3kw of solar panels on the roof do a decent job, even north of 52deg latitude. If the sun is out (which it is on the coldest days) my heating cost is zero, and I even generate a surplus good enough for all the lighting and cooking with a microwave (not enough for a hob or oven, obviously). But it covers all the basics (including home network and internet) and I'm better off than the folks being terrorised by Vladolf Putler, so I certainly can't complain.

The capacitor seems good, the motor would not start if it was bad. definitely clean out the leaves from inside the compressor chamber, and check to see if the coils are clean. The capacitor in the circuit board is set starting cap for the compressor. That metal box that the fan connects to is the emergency heat (AUX HEAT). It a coil of resistance wire like toaster wire, only thicker. The wires from the thermostat come into that circuit board area and should connect to the same letter order as the thermostat. Y--Y G--G R--Rh/Rc O--O W--W no matter what color the insulation is…but most try to match the letter and color. attach that grill on the left side. Wasps and leaves should not be accumulating inside the compressor. check the ducts for restrictions like bent ducts or a joint that has come apart underside the house the house. if you have a volt meter that reads capacitance you can check it before you buy another.

Horrible insurance. That is why their premiums are lower. You get what you pay for!

Hi my experience with starting capacitor's on HVAC systems. If there no good the fan will not run at all, so why your fan is even starting is a question? Also you can put a multi meter across the terminals on the capacitor and see if it's good or not? Starting capacitors are just that for starting the fan motor not to make it run faster. Also maybe that fan is a multi speed fan? because they usually start slow then ramp up to full speed. Take care!!

I am a retired HVAC of 40 years experience. Q: What is the model number of the Goodman unit? Every unit has different sequence of operations (SOO). From the video it seems bare bones unit. Normal SOO is higher CFM for cooling and lower CFM for heating ( establishes the temperature rise of the heat ex-changer i.e. heating 45-55F (diff from return air temp to supply temp). This prevents cold air to the room when supply air is not up to temp. One look at the wiring diagram from the model number will help. One thing about the Honeywell stat is that it has many hats. You must go thru the entire setup setup (program 1.x to 95x) for your equipment. Q: When your stat indicates heat and fan auto, does your compressor turn on (not just the condenser fan but the compressor)? Q: When in heat mode the compressor must start to produce heat, then a temp sensor on the coil must reach preset temp, then the fan will start. Note a refrigeration unit should and may have a start delay timer (this safety device allows gas pressures to equalize in the refrigerant side before starting the compressor. Dave

Good advice, compared to a lot of the comments on here. I pulled up the manual for the thermostat he installed. On page 24 Important! Heating/cooling system type must be set so that your thermostat operates properly and does not damage your system. He didn’t have function 1 set properly when it was first turned on. A $5000 heat pump system is not something you should use trial and error on to get running.

Hi JustTruckin, Watched your live feed last night. KISS " keep it simple sir " Did you have heat before T-Stat change or do you know? Reinstall old T-Stat and verify, I noted you took picture of it. Unit is called a heatpump because it moves heat from outside to inside ( airconditioner with refrigerant flow reversed ) and vise versa for cooling. Heating cycles of heat pumps sometimes have a more gentle airflow than cooling which is due to multi speed fans. Not familiar with your unit but have worked on many others. Your indoor fan is running so next question is does compressor come on and cool? Next does it produce heat with compressor and outdoor fan running with T-Stat calling for heat? Normal and Aux/Emergency heat, 2 distinctly separate functions. Compressor should not run in Emergency but may in Aux. New T-Stat may need programed to allow the proper control voltage outside to the electronics that allow normal heat and cooling modes. Wire positions may need change. Not enough info last night to tell. You may have outdoor unit issues but I believe that restoring original T-Stat will make full diagnostics easier as you know that at least the cooling function worked with it.
