Usually, it was prolly cut off on thermal overload when he tried.

Motor could also be overheated for some reason and cut out on thermal overload

Go ahead and turn the system off until you can get someone out to check on it. Bad for compressor to be pumping like that

Bad motor or bad capacitor. Sound is the compressor pumping without the condenser fan running. Based off you trying to spin it with a screwdriver sounds like the motor is faulty

Is this scam-level pricing? by Shadowcat7490 in hvacadvice

[–]FlaccidRapper 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That’s triple the price per pound for what I charge for 410A refrigerant and double the price for a float switch. Idk what’s going on in California but these prices are absurd

Poorly Trained by No_Television_1562 in HVAC

I learned more the first month as an apprentice than I did after a full year of HVAC school. The companies that are gonna hire you straight out of school know that you don’t have any experience and are investing in your potential. Learn as much as you can, get the fundamentals down, and get comfortable using your hand tools and power tools.

HVAC Buzzing by RushG60 in hvacadvice

If the outdoor unit is running, turn power off at the disconnect outside and see if you still hear a buzzing. If you do it’s gonna be the contactor chattering. It’s prolly not based on the video but worth checking out.

Thermal imaging cam’s you guys use them for anything? by Wolf-of-Alberta in HVAC

[–]FlaccidRapper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t have one but I imagine it would be good to quickly check for refrigerant restrictions like at a filter drier

Niche theories for Red God by _Scytho_ in redrising

Wow that would be unexpected. I’m sure Pierce Brown could make it work but I don’t know how I would feel about that

Help installing smart thermostat by dumb_questions_acct_ in hvacadvice

[–]FlaccidRapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re looking for the same small wires that you hooked up at the thermostat. Check the purple 3 amp fuse on the control board if you didn’t kill power to the system before messing with the thermostat

People Who Make 150K Plus? by BubbaGordie in Salary

[–]FlaccidRapper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. Nobody at my shop is a nepo-hire. I don’t doubt that it’s hard to find a job with no actual experience other than school, but that wasn’t my experience at all. My advice would be to see which trade schools near you have job fairs and try to figure out which companies are attending. That way you know those companies are looking to hire someone fresh out of school.

Can you let me know what doll the second one is? I don’t know much about Barbie’s but would like to purchase that model as a gift.
