No cooling, compressor wasn’t running, another cap bites the dust

One time built a little water. Yes, ma'am. Thank God he went up there because it would have flooded the whole kitchen. Could have. All right, we got thermostat set on 73 and it's reading 79 degrees. I'm not sure that compressor is running. I'm going to go get my impact here by the air conditioner. We see that a lot, don't we? This has one of those boxes put on by the power company that will not allow it to start up for a short while after the power goes out to prevent a um large surge in demand right when the power comes on a critter in it well does this thing read 0.026 nanofarads that ain't much 16 nanofarads and that's supposed to be a 70 and 5 excuse me i feel like i got something in my throat of all the capacitors i've got and i've got a bunch of them i don't think i have a 70 and 5 I'm going to tell her I got to go get one. No big hurry today. I'm going to go get one and come back. Well, I made an effort to try and buy one of the American made capacitors and they didn't have any. i'm fixing to swap these around because i might short this to ground and blow a fuse that comes per suggestion of Shannon Knight i think he suggested doing that so that's what i'm fixing to do i saw sparks there a second ago i thought maybe i had blown a fuse anyway all right now we're gonna i'm just gonna check the power even though i know i've turned it off and i've checked it before i'm gonna check it again here's my herm wire i'm gonna see if these match up and i can still use this the same holder it don't really i'm gonna go get a self-tapping screw and i'm gonna tap through that might mount it the other way like that you just gotta make sure you're not going to drill into some copper you see how these these do not line up anymore because this capacitor is a little bit smaller i'm going to go ahead and tap a hole and mount this okay now it's not cooperating i'm just gonna put another one in on the bottom for good measure all right that's not going anywhere here's coming a curious fan and this is going to be my my herm all right well i'm gonna put power to it like i said i think this is going to shut it off for a little while this one has a status light let you know let it shut it off amps i'm gonna measure in rush when it comes on while i'm waiting i can go ahead and hook up my probes make sure we've got enough refrigerant in it got locking caps open it up to atmospheric pressure before you turn it on i'm doing that because like i said in another video that's how these little things calibrate themselves if you read the manual and looking for a way to zero the pressure probes through the app there is no way you have to turn it on at atmospheric pressure system this is for time I wait for it to come on is ready to here you can see 21.8 inside right now low sub cooling let's see if that doubles out 14.6 degrees superheat almost 10 degrees sub cooling i think i'm just gonna leave that alone so this one's done
