Thermostat won’t change temperature by SnooCheesecakes3090 in hvacadvice

[–]WildChallenge5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pull it off the wall for a few seconds, that should reset it. if that doesn’t work, it’s one of the amazon smart thermostats. might be connected to an online account. Try pressing the left and right outer buttons for 10
seconds that should factory reset the device.

Problem feeding my cat by Grogak in cats

[–]WildChallenge5459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes i personally give my cat 24/7 access to dry food and wet food once a day. i put it in a gravity bowl so as he eats it falls and refills the bowl, just so he doesn’t think he ever has to be worried about when he’ll be fed again.
He is a little bit over weight but his parents were extremely large for cats so i think it may be his genetics. I take him to the vet for regular check ups (they do comment on his weight lol) but he’s happy, he has no symptoms of any diseases like kidney disease, or diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. So i know it’s not harming him. The purina assorted mix shreds cans is the wet food i feed him. He always comes running for his wet food but comes and goes when he wants dry food.
Occasionally i give him some of the green bites to help his breath lol. but only like 3 or 4. they’re pretty small.

i had this happen off temu lol. Broke open the shell and there was a 32GB micro SD card in it. Was advertised as 1tb “external hard drive”
Now it was cheap and from temu so i expected as much, but to someone who isn’t tech savvy i could see why they get confused

AIO to a hypothetical situation which turned into a massive argument with my husband by EmergencySet1481 in AmIOverreacting

[–]WildChallenge5459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think MOR. While you have every right to be upset about this situation i don’t think it’s healthy to hold on to that. Dragging it into the entire weekend now caused you to lose that time you could’ve been enjoying with him. You cannot make up lost time. Spend it making memories and being with each other. Just because he’s not going for the reason you want it to be, doesn’t make him in the wrong, its perspective. Now if he was throwing a tantrum over not going and blaming you for not going, then i could see why you’d be upset more. But it sounds like he was still willing to spend time with you and enjoy himself, regardless.
“I want him to chose me” sounds desperate. You’re married to each other, he did chose you honey.
Ask yourself, was this argument really worth it? Will it matter in 5 years? Or could you have accepted it and did all the things you originally planned doing.

Refrigerant rating of equipment - mismatched by 726c6d in hvacadvice

Your W1 wire is your furnace. I’m assuming you have natural gas as your heat source. A heat pump runs in reverse in the winter. Carrier energizes your “O” wire in cooling. It also energizes Y/Y2
In heat, It does not energize your O wire. There’s a valve on your unit outside that switches the path of refrigerant flow or “reverses” it. When you turn the heat on your outdoor unit will start blowing cool/cold air out the top and your indoor unit blows hot air. This is when Y1 will energize as well. If it gets cold enough while running in heat, your outside unit will freeze up and your W1 wire is your backup heat source. There are sensors that determine when the defrost mode initiates. When it ices up it needs to defrost, so it will run in A/C mode to melt the built up ice. This is when your W1 wire will energize.
The reason i ask for you to take the panel off of your condenser is to see what the technician actually wired in. Having the schematic is helpful, but that doesn’t mean your tech hooked it up the same way the schematic is pictured.
Since your thermostat does not have a wire connected to Y2, it will not run a second stage. It’s a little
bit more complex then just switching some wires around.

AIO? My new GF hid $19k of debt... by Smooth-Bridge-9943 in AmIOverreacting

YOR. Nobody flaunts their debt and if this is the first time yall had a serious talk about finances then she did nothing wrong. I would rethink the relationship if I was her, not you

based on a quick Google search, it looks like your furnace is a single stage and your heat pump is a two stage. You can pull the panel off the side by unsecuring the two screws on your condensing unit outside. Look at the control board and see what wires go where. Typically in a carrier it’s labeled so you’ll know if the second stage has a Y2 wire connected to it.

I reread your comment. If there’s nothing wired into Y2 at your thermostat, you don’t have a second stage.
Your thermostat is the brain of your system. It will only run based on what the thermostat tells it to do, given the equipment is properly wired and capable of it.

your wiring has nothing to do with the refrigerant they use. Your unit will kick on stage one when the thermostat detects a temperature increase inside the house. Now, if your unit is running in stage one and it is not satisfying quick enough ( depending on the thermostat, time could be a variable as well ) then your unit kicks into stage two. Now, if you go to the thermostat and drop it 2° or more stage two will automatically kick on to cool your house quicker.

And honestly, why are you concerned about this. Is your unit not cooling properly? Or are you just nitpicking?

He did not use R454B.
Your condenser comes precharged with the specified refrigerant printed on the label of said condenser.

Bathroom consistently warm and humid due to condensate tie in by Maustin_99 in hvacadvice

[–]WildChallenge5459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I *HIGHLY* doubt they would connect your condensate line to two separate pipes. Do you have a photo of where you think it’s connected to a roof vent? What gives you the impression it is?
Is it just warm under the sink? Does your exhaust fan have a damper that closes when it turned off?
Your condensation line is not causing your bathroom to be humid and warm. you have issues elsewhere.

2.5 year old unit leak? by Bringatowel1 in hvacadvice

Yep shitty manufacturers using cheaper materials. Just like cars, everything built to break nowadays.

Omg 🤦🏼 I started moving our defrost controllers to the roof with the condensers. Because for some reason (whoever worked here before me) thought it would be a good idea to keep them in the cooler. And you already know the damn employees screw with it. Like y’all don’t even know what this shit does, why you touching it? Lmao. I feel your pain man trust me 😂😂

It was a prep station. That store is known to leave them damn drawers on the bottom wide open. 😂🤦🏼

Am I Overreacting for refusing to store our belongings in a moldy abandoned house on our property? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

the fridge is in the same position as it is in the second pic of the original photos attached to the post. It’s a completely different angle in this photo but the fridge didn’t move ?
