THANK YOU. Our AC stopped working recently and we had a despicable "repairman" come out and tell us that our furnace control board was likely bad, and then try to price us out a whole new system for $13k. Using this video I learned what I needed to know to determine that I just needed to reset the low pressure switch. Fixed my AC for zero dollars. Very much appreciated!

They'll do that...that's why I will fix or try to fix anything I can before I call a technician...educate myself so that they won't even try to BS me..

Really nice, Craig. Years ago, in Florida, I had an in-line condensate switch in my pvc pipe that used gravity to get rid of condensate. It had a p-trap in it and the switch was mounted there. We were in the home for about a half-hour when I realized it was a little stuffy in the home. I went to the thermostat and saw it was blank. Ugh. Luckily I had some tools and an electrical meter there. Using the schematic on the inside panel, I discovered it was the condensate switch opening up the power. The piping had shifted and wasn’t draining properly. Long story longer, knowing the things you teach here really makes you the hero when the chips are down! And the temperature is up.

Clear, concise, understandable instruction. No "Uh's" or "ah's" in the final product. Kudos. I think so many people see youtube videos as something anyone can do. Well, anyone can, but there's so much difference in quality and presentation of content. The majority of these videos are trash in my opinion....a distraction in my quest for good quality content. So, hats off my friend in producing a truly high quality video to help folks who just need a little basic information to remedy a problem.

Craig, Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate this video. As a home owner and a System Engineer, I hate to have a service tech come out just to bill me for something I can fix myself. Took less than five minute to troubleshoot the fault and less than 20 to replace the thermostat control wire. you are time and money saver. God bless and thank you for sharing your knowledge!

HVACR / Cryo Tech for 36 years and I enjoy Your videos .

I love your videos, and once again you have gotten me out the heat, I unplugged the power cord to the condensation pump during the winter to use the outlet to plug in my wet-vac and forgot to plug it back in. It is equipped with a 24v switch to avoid spillovers, with your Top 10 Problems troubleshooting guide I was able to solve this issue. I'm an electrician by trade but have found myself being asked about AC Units more, I will be purchasing your content. Thank you

I'm sold on your knowledge! I ordered your books.My only source for hvac info.My main interest is charging correctly,not by guessing with pressure alone.Thanks very much!

Great video. It sure makes you appreciate the diagnostic work a good AC tech performs.

Thank you so much for all your videos. you saved me a system replacement and it was only a contactor issue. I managed to clean/sand the burned surface to make it work again until I get the replacement part. Great video. Thanks again.

This video is awesome because it gives you all the possibilities that can be wrong with your unit

Great video, You are very specific on scenarios! That's something everyone else miss doing videos!👍🎯🙈

Awesome video, our upstairs unit was not cooling, air handler was running but outside unit not running. After checking the breakers and thermostat settings I had relinquished myself to having to call a HVAC guy on the weekend. Watched the video and was reminded that my unit has a condensate pump in the utility room on the first floor, sure enough it was unplugged, as soon as I plugged it up, it ran( reservoir was full of water) then the outside unit started running once it pumped out the reservoir. Thanks for providing an excellent video and saving me an emergency service call.

Was searching for troubleshooting info on heat pump and found this video. Amazing! So clear, concise and thorough. Thank you.

24 degrees outside. Come home from a weeks vacation and no heat. House is 40 degrees! Watched your video. Cleaned contacts on outside disconnect and Voila!!! Thank you soooo much!! Michael Paxton

So glad I seen your video before I just started throwing parts at my air conditioner. The contactor was dirty, cleaned it off and it's working now. Going to buy a new one and replace it tomorrow. Thank you so much.

This is a great video. It taught me what I needed to know to determine there was a bad contacter coil. Thank you.

Great video, I fixed my AC at step 4. A bug was stuck under the plunger and wouldn't allow contact. thanks again!

Good info! I appreciate the in depth diagnostics. I found my contactor to be bad. Replaced it and now it's pulling in and running perfectly. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for such an informative video! Definitely saved me some money and helps me to know when a technician is not just changing parts. As an aside for those like me that know the basics but not the nuances I believe all of the volts are AC. That may seem obvious to some but most of us think of house voltage as 120 and 240.

Thanks for posting this helped us out. We had power at the quick disconnect and long and behold the internal circuit tripped. We reset the Unit and now we have cold air. Keeping a close eye on it for now. Thanks again for posting. 👍🏼 subscribed.

I just want to say thanks! It ended up being the fuse inside my house that was the problem, appreciate these videos.

Best video on youtube about this topic great work and video congratulations for being such a good teacher ...

Thank you I'm going to become a service tech pro with these videos I spend my weekends watching these videos

Thanks for your help. My problem was the little 5amp fuse. Replaced it and we are back in business. 👍🏽

Thanks for posting these videos! Good reminders and tips! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Man you are a lifesaver. I wasn’t getting the 24 volts combo from the indoor unit. Turns out the float was stuck to the flood pan. Amazing job…. Thank you again

Excellent guide. In my case, it was a corroded 24V connection to the contactor. Pulled the contacts off to measure coil resistance, confirmed coil ok, put low voltage connectors back on, and the contactor immediately tripped and turned on the condenser. Now I can get me a new contactor to have a spare just in case, with my ac still working. Thanks!

Very helpful in diagnosing problems. Thank you.

Thank you very much for another fantastic video 🙏👍😀 and may God blessed you 🙇‍♂️

I love these videos I remember the days you had to go to the library and hope to find a book to fix something or spend half your paycheck for someone to come rip you off..My a.c. stopped working today it was 95 out watched half your video and figured out the problem and made it to get the part 15 minutes before the parts store closed.. So this guy get a like and a subscribe from me.

Thank you for the in-depth diagnostics guide, as opposed to just telling us to call a repairman. Being able to do basic troubleshooting on your home utilities is practical and can save a ton of money.

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Outstanding video. Thermostat wires are top of my list as I recently replaced blower motor and control panel on the indoor unit, but this tells me what else to check if that's not it.

Excellent and helpful video. Thank you!

Great video, went through many common problems and helped me solve mine. The one I had ended up being rather silly, our unit had many unlabeled switches and one must have got bumped to the off position.. it ended up being the power switch for the furnace LOL.

THANK YOU 🙏🏼 for this video. I was able to solve the problem. Thank you and God Bless You!

Thank you for the video - had 240 to the contactor but nothing on the other side. Turned out to be the plates. Once they made better contact - it fired right up. Appreciate the help!

Video still saving us. Thank you. Power passing through safety switch once again. Thank you 🙏🏼

Craig, My AC went down and we are starting a 100+ degree heatwave. I followed this video and found a bloated capacitor. Ran down to Grainger and bought a new one for 20 bucks (could have got one for $12 but I bought a good one)! Had it back up in a hour. You saved me hundreds!!!!!! You're the Man!!! Thank you!!!!

I followed your instruction and I found the problem. Thank you.

Wow that was a very good video that will help me figure out my ac problem . It’s very hot here in Texas and I can’t get anyone till Thursday Thank you !

EXCELLENT VIDEO! went through your steps and found a small piece of leaf between the contacts on the contactor switch

thank you so much for this video. Now i have something to use to troubleshoot my ac unit

just fixed my condensers bad coil at 4am today thanks to your video. you're the man.

Shoot Craig I’m a dollar short and a day late, I came across a outdoor unit that would not come on I checked everything but the pressure switch and misdiagnosed a bad board cuz the herm and common did not read 24 volts on the board.A senior tech came behind me and figured it out in 1 minute but I’m glad I made a mistake cuz that’s how I learn best🤓👍

Thank you sir. After watching your video, I just got my AC running again after resolving a poor contact on the contractor.

Wow thats alot! And thats why HVAC is a specialty and people go to school for it. Im very mechanically inclined but I dont mess with ac. Im calling my ac guy to comeout lol. Great video.

Craig, thank you for putting this video together. I was able to quickly use my voltmeter and troubleshoot the problem and got it fixed. I still had a tech check the work and he said it would have cost you $580.00 for the contactor install. I only paid for parts and service call for 200.00. I enjoyed getting to know a little about hvac. I feel proud of fixing the unit with confidence, confidence you gave me with this video. Thanks!!

Genius. Problem number 9 for me. I replaced capacitors and fuses. Made sure thermostat was ok. Then went down to condensate pump and I shook it slightly and boom it started pumping out a ton of water. Turns out it’s filthy inside and clogged and cut the ac. Problem solved. Thank you sir.

Good instructional video. I would have closed the disconnect door when checking the fuses, particularly in your case since you “talk” with your hands. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

You could safely stick your fingers into the disconnect... the openings for voltage is barely large enough for the knives to fit in.

Very good video. Good content and presentation. Well organized. In the case of the spider egg in the contactor, switch can you just blow out the egg and try again before doing a full replacement of the contactor switch?

Thanks. Youre a great Tech.

Thank you for the video, I managed to figure out what happened to my outside unit thinking it only needed a deep cleaning, which didn't work and end up being my fault.

It was the thermostat batteries! Wild, because even with batteries not working, the fan would blow. But the condenser would not turn on.

Super helpful, thank you.....

Thank you for your video. Yesterday i have silence from attic handle unit, and ac pump. Thermostat was blank, i do not using batteries. I put batteries, that not fixed issues, therefore display is come back on. I was outside hauling my dog walking neighbor in the dark, and shared, they said, recently they have tech cleaned overflow valve. I thankly climb in to the attic, previously exposed ac pump and inspected wiring, brakers, and condenser. I found overflow censor with brown liquids and used near laying cleaning brush to purge it all. Moving sensors i heard first clicking. Got it all back. But silence due to delay probably. About to remove air handling panel to inspect for fuses, etc., and unit is kicked on. I was satisfactory climbed down, where found outside pump is silent. After witching your video next morning i will use my power tester to see currents on the wires, and see if i can trace issues. Yesterday i should not touch pump, and sensor outside, that just below lid on TH4B3021SA - Luxaire, as i think problem was overflow sensor, and i cannot believe i could have 2 issues at the same time. Will purge and see if gas is in the system with screwdriver. Thanks a lot for your video. Hope this morning will be successful. Any comments highly appretiated.
