For this evaluation the customer stated the condenser was not running for the downstairs and the air handler was only blowing hot air. The capacitor was out of tolerance, so I replaced it with a new one. When I did that a fault code of "L6" appeared, indicating an open start circuit. I reset the board and the system fired up and started running like normal.
Tech arrived at a tune-up. 2yo zoned. Upon inspection, the capacitor was within specs. The contactor was in working condition. The condenser coils were hosed off to assist with air flow across the coils. The refrigerant was a little low and the Schrader core was leaking on the high side line. The filter was dirty. The drain was clear and bleach was poured. There was evidence of past water in the secondary pan. The customer was informed of recommendations today. He will pass on repairs today and was informed that the system may continue to lose refrigerant until the core is replaced. Customer mentioned something about a Walmart gift card. Tech was unaware of this situation. The system was functioning upon departure.
03/05/24 Tyler S- basic drain clear on tub drain next to toilet both flow
Upon arrival systems were in working condition. Looking at the indoor units all electrical connections and components are good. Blower and coils are clean. Drain lines are clear and flowing. Recommended pan strips customer agreed. Looking at the outdoor units all electrical connections and components are good. Capacitors are within tolerance. Amp draws are acceptable. Upstairs unit had compressor saver, but downstairs didn't , recommended we put one on and customer agreed. Left both systems in working condition. Thank you for choosing comfort experts.
Performed a tune up on system. Poured 1 gallon of water through drain and water drained normally. Did find that unit did not have any water safety installed. Tested pressures and amp draws on outdoor unit and all were good. Tested capacitor and found capacitor to be dead. Previous company had installed a supco hard start on unit and hard start was giving high readings. Cleaned off outdoor coil inside and out. Recommended to customer that drain switch and/or a new capacitor would be needed. Found no other issues at this time.
Tech arrived at a warranty service call. Upon inspection, the 35mfd capacitor was out of tolerance and was replaced with a 35/5 capacitor. The capacitor was different than the one it was replaced and wiring adjustments were made. The UV system wete not working and the bulbs were expired. These bulbs were replaced today. #solar The system was functioning upon departure.
Upon arrival for tune up systems on and cooling. Inspected outdoor units. Fan and compressor amp draws within unit specifications. Refrigerant pressures good. Downstairs capacitor within tolerance. Upstairs capacitor out of tolerance. Inspected indoor units. Blower have dust buildup. Coils clean. Drain lines clear. Recommended replacement of capacitor. Left systems on and cooling.
