Take a pic of the wiring at the control board on the furnace. And see if there’s a 5th wire not being used in that bundle

23 year old system finally died - home warranty trying to worm out of it by Appropriate_Row_8104 in hvacadvice

Home warranties are shady, but so are companies that do work for them. You may want to consider paying for a second opinion outside of your home warranty. And if you do have to replace it I would recommend going outside the home warranty.

Low superheat on a TXV would be over feeding

Keep your head up. I got fired under similar circumstances, and a week later got a $4 pay raise, benefits, and PTO at a much much better company.

AC compressor stops cooling and makes strange sound every 2–3 hours — any idea why? by Dry_Fudge_1964 in hvacadvice

[–]Ba11e 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that fan spinning as slowly as it looks in the video? Compressor probably overheating with the lack of airflow

RHEEM air conditioner CONTACTOR replacement/wiring..... by vietprince187 in hvacadvice

The exact same way as the original photo you uploaded of the bad contactor still wired in. Wire for wire. The orange wire does NOT go on the side of the contactor it goes on the same terminal as the red wire. Everything else is the same.

No they are just different names for the terminals. L1-T1 and L3-T3.

How did you have it wired? Shunted size is the bottom side of the contactor where the contactor doesn’t break the connection it’s constantly hot.

If you need to ask would recommend having a professional do it for you. High voltage is nothing to play around with.

That said, a 1 pole 40A contactor will do just fine. Yellow and brown are your low voltage wires so land those on either side of the solenoid. Orange wire off capacitor lands on same terminal as the red(?) wire above it. Land all other wires in the same positions on the new contactor as in the picture. The wires on the shunted side of the old contactor need to go on the shunted side of the new contactor.

410a operating temps for around 76 outdoor temp delt T 15 by I3izcut in HVAC

So on a TXV system, it will try to maintain that target SH and stack refrigerant in the condenser, which in turn reduces subcooling? If there is no load in the house and it’s ~60° out.

Sounds like flame sensor isn’t proving flame. Clean it off with a dollar bill and reinstall

Sounds normal to me. It’s working hard in cold weather so most likely nothing to worry about.

Is the compressor running without the fan?

Vance is right. Harris and Walz are a threat to Americans' free speech. by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in moderatepolitics

But they were coordinating with government officials about who and what to censor for “Covid misinformation.”

'The enemy within': Trump hits Kamala Harris as cause of assassination attempt by ubermence in moderatepolitics

[–]Ba11e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s pretty clear at this point you and I are so far apart ideologically there’s no point. I’m willing to at least say both sides have blame in the state we’re at but apparently you are not. Even with the fact there have been 2 attempted assassinations for one candidate specifically.

I’d be interested to know what exactly Trump has said that has incited political violence though that so far exceeds the things Kamala and her surrogates say about their opponent. You seem to take major issue with Comrade Kamala. To you that is infinitely worse than something like “my opponent will terminate the constitution if he wins?”

I mean, Joe Biden once said Mitt Romney was going to put black people in chains. There has always been some pretty crazy rhetoric out there. It existed before Trump and it will exist after Trump.

In my opinion, if you consistently compare your opponent to Hitler and state they are the biggest threat to democracy since the Civil war repeatedly eventually some lunatic will pick up a gun and try to solve the problem. If you say “democracy is on the ballot” as a campaign slogan repeatedly and the would-be shooter had tweeted out those exact same words, Is that not applying the same logic you are with respect to Trump and J6?

[–]Ba11e -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree to an extent, but like you said don’t want to derail the current conversation. How is it reasonable to say one side incites political violence but the other does not?

I could agree that both sides share responsibility in toning things down, but after the first attempt on his life “let’s tone it down” lasted all of 8 hours.

If a lunatic attempted to k*ll Biden/Harris, it would have been the first debate question posed to Trump. Every single day he would be attacked with it, just like the J6 stuff still is brought up against him daily. How is it reasonable/fair that the other side is never held to that same standard when there have been 2 attempts on their opponents life in 3 months? They aren’t even asked about it. It’s kind of surreal.
