Two Calls Where Nothing is Working! Happy New Year! 🎆

Happy New Year's guys, today is January 1st, I took yesterday off because the Georgia game was yesterday so I just took the whole day and I'm working today, I'm going to show you two calls where nothing was working nothing at all and on one of them I almost made a mistake and replaced the thermostat when it didn't need to be replaced and I'll show you what I found, stay tuned, the call I'm looking at right now is um they have a blank thermostat and whatever wherever the air handler or furnace is it's in the attic so I don't really know what we got yet that's a low roof okay so it helps if you go at the air handler from the correct side now this has a little more of a walkway and better access looks like when this was done it was not too terribly bad um it looks like they could have moved this back a little bit and given some more room looks like it'll be difficult to get the coal out but right now we have a a blank thermostat transformers way in the back I am hearing what I think is the reversing valve clicking, I'm touching that board trying to determine which one is red here i think it's going that well did y'all hear that it's hard to be in this position kneeling and leaning over all right i'm testing i can't see it i think this is common i have 24 volts between here and here that right there breaks that breaks my red but you know something that looks like it's not hooked up that ain't even hooked up i didn't use those oh looks like they got on split bolts so that's a good option all right we're fixing to check this all right right now i've got 24 volts here this right here has been my problem it clicked when i started messing with it i'm gonna go check the thermostat real quick and see if it's lit up and i'll be right back i didn't make it out and that came on all right i'm back up here because this thing did not continue to run and i had an e2 error on my thermostat and i checked a couple times and one time it didn't have voltage and one time it did so i'm still losing voltage to my thermostat see that that dropped to 14 for just 15 there it goes again 17 7 8 6 right so i was able to catch it i am losing 24 volts at this board and um the power's still on now so i need to be careful but do y'all see how that wiggles those are solder connections i'm suspecting this board and that's gonna be a bugger to replace a second yeah that's not good while i'm at it i'm gonna check that right there might as well while i'm here it looks rough 12.5.43 yep that just pulls out i did not feel what um i did at the end because i had to lay down on the that little flooring my back was just killing me and um look to see where those wires plugged up and unplugged that that board being upside down like that is really difficult to work on but i was able to unplug it put power back to it and i got a steady 24 volts up front to the where the fuse is so i'm either going to quote them a new board if i can find one or i can just rebuild that thing um i think i could just do it with a i might be able to use the transformer that's there a blower relay those heat relays i can reuse them so yeah i might be able to do everything i need to do with just a 9340 relay but either way i had to submit an estimate and get approval so we are we're gonna have to wait till at least tuesday so we're we're coming back to that one nothing is working at least this one is a furnace in a closet instead of getting into a tight attic so here we go all right we got an old carrier weather maker it looks like a newer Rhencool on the bottom all right so let's see what's going on the power to the board let's test and see if we're getting power out the thermostat is set for the fan to come on all right let's take a closer look at that thermostat i've gotten no comment my thermostat was a little up but these right here should be 1.5 volts i think she needs a new thermostat i have used both of the ones that i have let me take another look and see if i don't have another one okay so I um jumped out green and I'm getting my 24 volts over there so it looks like I need to get her a new thermostat I don't have any on the van right now I was about to replace that thermostat and sub base until I saw this that right there might be the only reason it wasn't working so that's my two videos I do appreciate y'all watching in the support I'm gonna have two more for you tomorrow so thanks for watching
