Fault Identification: Discovered the 3rd zone common wire was disconnected. Resolution: Reconnected the 3rd zone common wire. Recommended including the cap and contact to be replaced. When arriving at the property, The client directed me to the attic where the AHU trane is. The client explained to me that the system has been showing intermittent failures. I proceeded to check the AHU in the attic. I found the common wire disconnected from the tstat of zone #3. I showed the client the situation. I put the wire in its place. I put the system into operation. The system started working. I proceeded to check the condenser unit. I found the starter cap of the condenser unit not correct for the capacity of the motor fan and the compressor joined. I explained to the client that the starter cap must be replaced by the correct lime. I

Upon arrival found system cooling. Client mentionted that system has been going off intermittently during very hot days. Checked indoor unit delta T receiving very high temperature split, 36 Degrees from Supply Ductwork. Checked condenser pressures noticed saturation temperature below freezing. Noticed Suction Line beginning to freeze. Checked pressures 99PSI Low - 29Saturation with 20 Degrees Subcooling. System appeared to be overcharged or liquid line restriction but after checking coils noticed condenser coils heavily restricted 100 percent % had to remove all covers & fan to remove dirt and debris build up on coils. After cleaning condenser checked pressures ok noticed Subcooling very high at 30 - Must return to remove pressure from system and recharge before condemning TXV, Also noticed that the motor on system is rated for 7.5 MFD Cap & System is operating with 45/3 Capacitor? Also reccomended replacing Capacitor - Left system operational and cooling must return for repair work.
Checked two daikin AC systems with hydronic heating coils while performing maintenance on the systems found that both the condensate safety switches on the system were tripped had to cut the drain lines due to both systems drain lines are twinned together and was unable to properly clear the drain completed maintenance and tested system operations left systems working homeowner supplied the filters 16+20+1
