Problems with air conditioner
"Stormin Mormon" wrote in message ... Probably a bad fan capacitor. Goodman is noted for bad caps. Just replace it, and be happy. Replace both of htem to be sure. Compressor caps go bad, also.

"stryped" wrote in message ups.com... x-no:archive:yes I have 3 year old Goodman air conditioner. One ton. It is used for a bonus room. Went upstairs for the first time in a few days. It was very hot. Air was blowing through vents but not cold. The condenser outside was kind of buzzing but the fan was not turning. Eventually finally the buzzing went off. With a screwdriver I was able to turn the fan blades very easily. Could this be the fan motor? I have a multimeter and know how to use it. Is there a way to diagnose this problem myself. I have two kids and money is tight right now. I saw no obvious leaks. I have a leak checker but it will be the morning before I can. But wouldnt it be making no noise and shut off if it was out of refrigerent? My guess was the fan is not working and it caused the unit to kick off as a safety measure and that the "buzzing" i heard was the bad fan motor but I dont know. I have not worked with home air conditioners too much just cars. Any help is appreciated! |

I did, and I know several HSMs here on the metalworking group who have the skills. Bet not ONE of you could. Could you build a diffusion pump? Bet you don't even know what one is. Lloyd, I am interested in making a "deep vacuum" gauge, for up to fractions of a micron. My vacuum pump can supposedly go down to one micron, IIRC. (nothing fancy, it is a small Sargent-Welch DuoSeal pump, but it would be interesting to measure vacuum accurately) Large fractions of a micron aren't really "deep vacuum" like you'd obtain with an oil diffusion pump backed with a cold baffle and a really fresh vane pump. But that's still pretty high. You're talking better the range of what a good, new Robinaire refrigeration pump can do (down to ... oh... 20 microns, or so). LLoyd Wrong. They go that low if you use Mobil 1 10W40 oil in them. |

Problems with air conditioner -- wasps
No, but I'd like to.
Wasps are aparently active and nasty this year. I was at a church social last Saturday. A girl about three or four got stung on the leg by a wasp. Turns out the bleachers along side the softball field had several large and active nests. Folks, lets be careful. Pull the covers slowly. Listen. Have wasp and hornet spray within reach. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "Al Moran" wrote in message ...

Still another is quality of assembly. Goodman has to cut corners EVERYWHERE as they lead the industry in supplying low cost units. OTOH, I think that they own the Amana AC brand, so to keep that brand's reputation, they MUST be using higher quality components on those units. |

Problems with air conditioner
"Lloyd E. Sponenburgh" wrote in message .. . wrote in message ... Yeh - and do you know what a DUAL CAP IS ????? Yep, and many units have separate condensor and compressor caps, in case your vast experience hasn't exposed you to that, yet. Many PSC air-over condensor fans have cap pigtails so short you can't get them back into the weather enclosure, anyway... you have to hang the cap inside the condensor area, or scab wiring onto them to get back home. LLoyd Well.......hell...... Looks like Paul got ya here, since Goodman uses a dual cap, meaning, only one in the unit. On both a heat pump and a straight split, it sits right in the same place, over on teh left side of the access panel, with one 5/16s screw holding a band around it to keep it in place. The cap isnt a start cap for the fan motor, but you knew that, altho a few in here didnt. Now, for clarification since its obvious that a few wanted to jump in with both feet and cant seem to comprehend the entire thread... Stormin Moron made a comment, replace both. What he MEANS is replace both the fan motor AND the cap. What he was THINKING was that the unit had a sep 5-370 for the fan motor, when it would not. Therefore, his comment about things being cheap kinda went away real fast, altho some took it the wrong way and totally ignored the fact that he wasnt talking about replacing BOTH caps, even though there is only one, but he didnt know that, but had to go on and speak about it anyway. OR He really DID mean to replace both caps. He did state that compressor caps can go bad too, (gee ****ing willikers buckwheat!! REally??) In THAT case, he means to replace both caps. Gee..since there is only one in the unit, and its a dual cap, logic dictates that you would be doing that anyway. Unless, of course, you were going to run a jumper from the C terminal over to a new single cap and then simply transfer over the leads from the FAN term to the new cap, but why would you do that, when thats not a true repair, but a trashy looking bandaide? Either way, the bashing going on from both sides in this case looks silly. Everyone with half a brain can see that Stormy Moron is nothing but a wannabe that thinks hes got a clue. Prob got good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with them. |

He seems better suited for that than to work in private homes where wives and children are often present. I've seen guys fired for not presenting a good image to a homeowner. I don't understand how this guy continues to work in this field - unless, of course, he actually IS the phony he is rapidly proving himself to be, and doesn't really work in the industry. I suspect that, without a union card this guy would be wiping tables and swabbing floors at the local fast-food joint. Maybe that's what he does, anyway.....and he's ****ed off that he didn't spend more time studying and less time doping. |

Paul has some troubling latent homosexual tendencies which are better not discussed in this forum. Just let him be in peace at his mom's trailer. |

"Robert Gammon" wrote in message news Stormin Mormon wrote: While that's possibly true (they use GE caps, eh?) it doesn't really change my advice very much. Quality of components is one aspect of a quality unit. Another is a quality of design. Still another is quality of assembly. Goodman has to cut corners EVERYWHERE as they lead the industry in supplying low cost units. OTOH, I think that they own the Amana AC brand, so to keep that brand's reputation, they MUST be using higher quality components on those units. IMO, they bought Amana to attempt to gain some respectability..... |

Took the panel off of a package Coleman on the roof, biggest damn nest I've ever seen, about the size of a softball. Damn wasps go everywhere and one gets me right in the eye. Ever see what happens to a nest of the *******s when a deminimus release happens? You don't thump the side of the unit to see if theres anybody home?? I buy wasp killer by the case. I beat the caps on the big propane tanks, even when it's 40° out. |

Aren't those propane cylinders a hoot? Near to guarantee to find a
nest under the cap. Amazing, how many places wasps and hornets find to next. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. "HeatMan" wrote in message ...

Last time I found a wasp nest where I wanted to be I didn't have any appropriate chemicals to dispatch them with. I did still have half a dozen Romeo-y-Julietta Churchill cigars and had given up smoking a couple of years before. The wasps were thoroughly stoned by the time that the nicotine bonfire had finished. What a terrible waste... Mark Rand RTFM |
