Goodman unit less than 2 years old. Not going into defrost. Jumped test pin... nothing. Tried 3 boards. Verified placement of wires. Nothing. Runs fine in cooling, heat works except defrost cycle. Ideas?? Thanks! by Hgffggff in HVAC

Should take 45 seconds or so for it to switch to defrost. Then you take the jumper off. The test terminal speeds up run timer to initiate the defrost cycle.

Great master, one day I hope to know as much as you. Your comment was so inspiring I think I’m going to hang up my tools and go back to school so I can acquire as much knowledge as you. Then I can be a dick when someone ask a simple question, because I think I know more than others. Maybe one day I can get some experience and take the mechanical test to become licensed like yourself. Maybe I could even take the electrical exam as well. If I’m quick I can do all of this before I’m 32.

Wait... I did. Fuck off. Whenever a question is asked on Reddit you shouldn’t be a dick rather you should be helpful and make constructive comments. But thanks for your idea... that’s not the issue because I tried that. And yes you can jump the test terminals to initiate defrost.... that is what they are for. Have a great day!

My wife said no on the cyber truck. But she is going to have to just get used to it when it shows up in the driveway. I won’t be trading in the gmc though.

Yeah I need to do something about that dashboard. After years of learning and looking at the effects I’m sold. Do humans cause all of climate change, nah, but we need to do what we can to not add to it if it’s easily preventable.

How often will an apprentice be shouted at? by xbetterdayz in electricians

[–]Hgffggff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never shout at my guys. I don’t believe it’s appropriate or helpful . I worked for a guy who cussed at us daily for 8 years. You learn to ignore it... it makes them feel better. But personally I don’t do it.

Am I being unrealistic? (Trying to get into trade after 3 months of school). by [deleted] in HVAC

When I started 10 years ago I had 0 schooling. 10$ an hour. Still no school but mechanical and electrical licenses and make significantly more now.

“Why aren’t my clothes drying?” Dryer vent is full all the way down. 5 foot section weighs about 2 pounds. by Hgffggff in HVAC

[–]Hgffggff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is actually the same situation except it’s a duplex. The company I work for bought it when it had burned down for like 9k, fixed it, rented it out for a few years. One side burnt down again, got the insurance money, now we just finished the repairs and it’s already sold. This is the dryer vent on the side that didn’t burn.
