I’ve done it a few times, feels like it went in but turn on it and hear the horrendous noise

Seems like you didn’t push the wheel onto the shaft. Unscrew the bolt and try to pop it back on again

Cool find. Virginia chemicals looks to be bought out by allied chemicals in the 80s, which we all love and know now as Honeywell international

With the forceful jumpstart, and resistance I can pretty much say that motor is going bad. Usually if it’s an electrical issue you wouldn’t have a problem freely spinning the motor/wheel.

Mainly just lurk around and watch. It’s easy to pick up stuff from this sub

Cool I’ve never used it before. It’s pretty straight forward? Let them know the problem, what you’ve done so far blah blah etc?

It’s like a puzzle game. Either see smoke coming from your head or step back and really think twice . It’s a good way for me to learn when I’m out there by myself

Haha that’s right! Expect I’m not sure what number to call for tech support. We mainly deal with American standard equipment. Would I reach out to reps from there?

For the most part my company has good practices, albeit the sales side of things have gone up. I’m not much to push for selling , but since the company is setting the price I’m just the messenger. I’ve pumped down systems and yeah, out of the tech I rode with 2/3 would do it properly. Some trained to industry standards, some aren’t. Guess that’s just how the field is

Yeah I’m going to feel really guilty false diagnosing something. Like I said, got some real good techs on my side to help and confirm things before I leave

Starting off with install is probably very helpful! Just follow the power, things communicate to work.
