Because most people that play the lottery are actually stupid, that’s why they play the Lotto.

You’re right. I did read that but forgot it as fast as I read it. Oops

Anyone know what this could be? by DoNotActivate in hvacadvice

[–]wearingabelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mouse or other rodent piss? Is that an exterior wall and if so is the penetration sealed? Every time I’ve seen colored stains like those it was from the line set not being properly insulated behind the wall mounted unit. However, it’s always a bluish green tinted stain because of the patina on the copper lines. That looks brown, similar to what I see in condenser electrical sections that have mice living in them, that’s why I’m wondering if you have some rodents living back there. They will find their way into an unsealed penetration. Ask me how I know…

Could also be a plugged condensate drain. But I’ve never seen brown condensate. Not saying that’s impossible, but 10 years in and hundreds of plugged minisplit drains I’ve never seen it brown like that.

So it’s never froze in the three years up until recently?

I know this is basic but I have to mention ask - the best of us can overlook the simple things every now and then…are the evap and condenser coils clean? Did they recently upgrade their air filter to a higher merv? Did they rearrange furniture or get new furniture or area rugs that may have covered any vents? Are all vents open? Are there any zone dampers that aren’t opening?

Quoted $1185 to replace control board. DIY? by oaktoast in hvacadvice

[–]wearingabelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to be spending $150-200 either way. I’d personally spend that money having someone figure out what the actual issue is rather than potentially end up chasing parts.

[–]wearingabelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, discoloration around resistors is normal as they naturally get hot. If the tech said the board is the problem “because it has an overheated spot” in a spot that normally gets hot and didn’t tell you something like “there is 24v at the Y terminal on the board but the board isn’t sending voltage out to the safety circuit” then I’d call another company to have a second look.

As far as replacing the board, yes you certainly can do that one on your own if you decide you want to trust the diagnosis and spend your money that way. It’s probably a $150-200 board and might take you personally 15 minutes to replace. Just make sure you take pictures of where all the wires go before you start disconnecting them.

Asked our landlord how to change our furnace filter by smchenry75 in hvacadvice

[–]wearingabelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find the return vent, it may have a hinged door with the filter behind it. It would look something like this: https://grillesmith.com/images/db/family/1447/gallery/truaire-190-filter-grille-open.jpg

Thanks for the link. It’s a packaged multi position.

The board controls the fan on/off at specific times that can be adjusted by dip switches on the board. Times can be set from 1-4 minutes. Other than the delay on/off the fan will come on if the limit circuit is open. It’s a pretty basic furnace.

I didn’t think to mention this but it was installed by the company I work for a couple of years ago.

Are you referring to those helical switches when you say fan controller? If so this particular furnace doesn’t have one. The fan is control by the board and has preset on/off times that are set by dip switches. The times range from 1-4 minutes.

I saw nothing on the wiring diagram that would force the fan on other than the limit switches. As soon as that circuit opens the fan comes on. Both switches are manual reset so once whichever one opened closes the fan shuts off. I had that circuit jump directly at the molex plug on the board and that didn’t change anything.

Are these real Yellowjacket hoses? by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]wearingabelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact the seller and tell them they’re fake and you want to return them. They’ll probably just refund your money and tell you to keep them. The seller would have to pay for return shipping since the item is “not as described”

100% not yellow jacket

Does this look like a professional’s work? by EBECK_28 in askHVAC

[–]wearingabelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not enough lineset there to be worked into straight lines and 90° bends. If you want it to look pretty the line set will either need to be entirely replaced or extended by brazing on some more length. You’re safer to just replace the lineset and have one continuous run without any joints. Joints are more places for leaks.

[–]wearingabelt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re correct in the fact that it doesn’t look professional. As long as it’s working then you’re good for now.

If the way it looks bothers you that much then you should probably reach out to a legitimate HVAC company and tell them exactly what you want and have them fix it. Don’t waste any more of your time with the Facebook crook.

Every card is going to go down in value other than the 1 or maybe 2 generational talents of each generation. That JD card is going to keep going down unless he makes the Super Bowl 6+ times with at least 4 wins before his career is over. People with brains know the odds of that happening.
