Call Back On Recent Install. 4 Hours of Hell!

Good morning, it is December 30th and I'm headed to a um a recent install that um we did and it's not cooling, this is a gas furnace and a coil in the attic and straight cool condenser outside so uh we'll see what it is, stay tuned the heat works good but there I couldn't get it on, all right let's see if the fan comes on I hope I don't have to get in that attic, well I don't hear the fan out there working either you know the unit, let me see something, it says right now the fan is switched on and it ain't coming on is it not good you'd hate climbing up in there yeah this is a little difficult to get to okay this is actually my first time up here I don't um since the install has been done I don't know if y'all can see that, but do y'all see that drain is going uphill, yeah that that's not gonna work and the fix ain't gonna be super simple, but yeah that's that right there's not gonna work and that might be my my whole problem, I also this tape right here also ain't really the best First first let's make sure we got power I can't bend down Look at that Right now it looks like my two yellows are going to a different spot all right so i gotta i gotta take a picture of that and look at it because i can't i can't see sometimes i don't always get to see the install after the guys have done them this right here should be showing something a blown fuse blows right away i'm just gonna oh i hear it starting to rain disconnect red to thermostat all together and i'm gonna start i'll start jumping from each one that that blew immediately a display and like i said red to the thermostat is disconnected that didn't something did not sound right i was jumping to yellow that just blue seeing anything obvious all right first i'm going to test between here and here that's my thermostat wires and that right there tells me my thermostat wire is shorted to ground okay one thing i'm noticing is that this thermostat wire is over here and i got a screw right behind it so um that's my suspicion is where my problem is right there looks like it's glued these float switches i normally don't glue this piece right here hard to cut that out okay the wiring diagram on this shows red and black get 24 volts and orange and green are broken this white goes to an alarm if you have one but um so that's how i'm gonna wire it up i'm gonna break yellow with the orange and green these thermostat wires loose i'm going to my yellow to ground nothing on that one on that one so which one is that That's my thermostat wire going outside. It might not be that hard to pull a new wire. Alright, so if you don't have an external alarm, that white wire needs to be capped off. If you look here, that white wire becomes hot when it alarms. So you don't want that dangling in here or anything. I'm going to try to cut that. Let's move that out of the way. i'm gonna try to cut it a little as close to this 45 as i can just about dry it up and so this is the only thermostat uh wire i have and that's 1810 i got some two strand at the shop but i'm gonna go ahead and try to pull this that's what i've got it ain't easy i got the thermostat wire stretched out outside tied together and taped up let's see if i can pull off this houdini trick all right i was unable to pull the wire this is my fish tape it seems to be hitting the top of the roof right there i'm gonna do my best to try to get over there and find that fish tape and then hook up this thermostat wire to it and pull it through hopefully you know something this fish tape when i tried to pull it back out got stuck because because of the hook on the end all right my fish tape got stuck at the top of that conduit so i'm gonna try to crawl over there and reach my fish tape pull it over and attach this to it and somehow crimp it to keep it from getting caught at the top of my conduit which is what it was doing it's just gonna take some time the bad part is i can't get my fish tape out of that conduit all right i've been out here for a while i separated the wires to keep from trying to pull such a big wire so hopefully this works here we go outside and help get started this is what i found it looks like that may have gotten caught right there you see what's right here i don't know if that focuses on that but that's bare wire right there but my wire is pulling through this time these have to be look at this hallelujah all right i gotta catch my breath my own job crawling in and out of that little scuttle hole is almost done yellow and brown all right i thought i had my camera working a second ago but this is my thermostat wire going outside see if y'all can listen for the contactor 0.33 amps i heard the contactor pull in so all right that's squared away got my thermostat squared away thermostat wire squared away let's hope that does it we're fixing to go downstairs and all right i got a pulled in contactor part of that call i just had to put up my phone and my camera because it would have gotten wet but i finally got that one done i literally spent over four hours doing what i had to do there and i was going up and down the ladder in and out of that attic i probably went did that 20 times i'm thankful my back's not hurting right now but that's today's video thanks for watching
