    What’s funny is I had a call like the 1st call in this video today, same model. 80 psi on the suction line and 345 on the head side. Subcooling normal 8 but my superheat was 76. Put unit in heating and pressures looked normal a bit high but normal and it was heating properly. Put unit back in cooling and opened the air handler and put my hand over the bulb, pressures didn’t budge, superheat and sub cool the same. Txv was freezing that mf was almost all the way closed. No temperature difference on filter drier, quoted new txv

    Hi I have the same exact one and mines didnt show temporary hold at all so we turned it off and held those two buttons and it was already 120/0 so we left it and saved it and then we turned down the temperature it’s 89 inside and I put it on 68 inside but the only difference is at the top right corner it says cool fan so idk if that’s supposed to say that or not please help

  • @hvacotj
    @hvacotj22 күн бұрын

    Yes. The only thing you changed with 120 is getting rid of the option to have temp hold and permanent hold in schedule. But if it’s not cooling make sure your outside system is running and if it is not that will be your issue. If it’s not go to the indoor unit and check if and water is filling pan and the shut off switch killed power or condensate pump. Also check circuit breaker.

    On Copeland compressors, the first two digits of the serial # indicate year and the third is the month of manufacture. For this one it would be 22Fxxxx or 2022 Jun. I agree with you, Goodman systems are good. I have a 2ton system and it has been working fine for the last three years, probably because it was installed properly. . I live in the panhandle of Florida, so, pronounce it anyway you want to, you can even add a "profane expletive" in front of it and it really wouldn't matter because, everyone down here does and at the end of the day It's still Florida. good video.
