How To Properly Fix Burnt Terminals On A Compressor!

hey guys we're on a heat pump and i don't think i hear the compressor running I mean... if you listen it sounds like just the fan is running stick with it it's possible but Okay, let's see how it's going to be. yeah i just had a big leak enough where i can see oil okay that compressor is not running and it probably should be because the condenser fan motor is running there's another leak right here take this this panel off afraid to touch it. my back was already sore and hurting and uh i just moved in the wrong i just moved in the wrong way and it uh i don't know it's like it felt like i pinched the nerve or something so nothing serious it's just sore right now i will say that this this connector right here i'm gonna move this is the wrong kind of connector that would have burnt too of course that one's fried that's the only connector that's in good shape Let me go get some term locks and see if we can't get this to fire up. Okay, just to get the compressor running, the diagnostic labor term lock kit, you're probably looking at 300, maybe a little more. And then if we need to charge it up, there'll be more. You okay with that? I'm not okay with it, but when I need to get done, I ain't got to be okay with it. Okay, I'm going to take this up until I can come back with the term lock kit. I don't have the kit I need to hook those back up properly I gotta go get it okay I thought I had one in my van and I probably do I just can't find it those pressure washers you got out there I could probably use them at my house okay it's kind of expensive are they yeah this this house one cost me twenty three hundred dollars to get it washed and done and I'm not gonna be paying for it they're leaking out huh you can tell one spot is right here Right there it's leaking. That's something that's that we can fix. The other one was on top of that coal, yeah. But that one can be fixed. Oh wow, you talking about almost in Worth County? Yeah, it's almost to that store. I can't remember the name of it. Yeah, the rental company called you out there. Yeah, I'm familiar with it. It's real near the base. A lot of times people that rent that place on like a it's like two miles from more ease more ease yeah yeah i know exactly where you're talking about yeah he sent me your phone number and i stopped you to tell you i seen that you had texted me in 2024 i was like yeah that's the same guy i remember because that van that's that's a that's a tight man yeah that's it's recognizable isn't it you uh how much they they called you to wrap that oh that wrap um Man, that wrap was a little over $5,000. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. They did it local? Yes. Okay. I can't think of the name of the place. From TLC. See you in a little while. So this new business you got, that's yours? Yes, yes. You doing that full-time? Yeah, I don't work full-time. Oh, innit? Yup. That's pretty good. Oh, yeah. All right, there it is. I want you to see. I ain't going to hold you up too long. All right. Just take care of it. This thing is worse than a 10-hour patient. Really? Damn. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah, he said he can't believe how that roof came out. I can't believe how that roof came out. God damn. Yeah, but I ain't going to hold y'all up too long. Get your airbag open. Well, it was nice talking to you, man. Oh, yeah. You give me a call. Will do. All right. See you later, Mr. Eric. All right. So, I got some pictures of my roof before and after. Uh-huh. God damn. Is that good? It's good. I'm doing all three of these so I got to be careful I don't let one block the other. I'm just going to get that a little bit snug. This is my house after he did it. Yeah, after he did it. That's before and that's after, before and that after. Whoo. Hmm. That's before and that's after. The roof was blank. Hehehehe That's before and that's after. That's before and that's after. That's all I'm saying. So he did a great job. Curtis, do you want to see the pictures? Yes, sir. Let me anchor these down real good. A little hard to... I think I'm good on this one. I just want to... You're surprised about it? Yeah. Yeah. But that roof was black, but the stuff on top of it... Really, how did you get it off? I know you didn't get it on top of the house. All right. I specifically put blue to blue. Blue is my start. Black is my common. And red is run. Strip that back right there. Strip a big chunk because... We are putting these together with a wire nut. A wire nut that comes in the box. There's so much to do at this house. Oh my god. Oh I meant to ask you did you ever get that mini split up and running? No. All right before I leave let me go in there and take a a picture of the modeling serial and I'll just order you the appropriate remote lock. Does that mini split come with heat also? Yes that's a heat pump. Okay. So yeah it's got heat. Because it's going to be cold this weekend. God damn. I'm hoping this works. Well, this will get it up and running. It'll come on. We know it's going to be low on refrigerant. Because you got a leak here. And I showed you the other one on the evaporator coil. And there's something else. We need to check the heat strips. Because when I got here, was it yesterday? Yesterday? The heat strip breaker was turned off. So I'm not sure how well they work. So there's a black one. There we go. You want to make sure you cut back anything that might be damaged by heat. You think that wire that was messed up, that blue wire that was messed up, you think that tripped the heat strip? You talking about over here? Yeah. No, no, these are separate circuits. The heat strip breaker was just not on. Oh yeah, and I want to turn that damn heat down that thermostat. Okay. I want to change that thermostat out. You want to do it today? Not today. If the heat come on, I ain't going to do it today. Okay. But I'm going to do it by next week. This one also was affected by heat, and that is not the correct connector to put on there? I do not like that damn, uh, that thermostat. Oh, it's an alarm thermostat, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, yeah, I can understand. Wires kind of long like this means that if one of these burns up, we can still repair it. Let's strap these up. all right before we crank up let's go ahead and deal with that one right there with all that oil right there it won't hurt to replace it so you're giving the class on it what's that now you're giving the class on it i i post my videos online to show other people basically how to do what i do and and for homeowners to um understand the repairs that they're getting and possibly ask the right questions when somebody's giving them an estimate or something Look at that, I got it. Actually, it's hard to do. It's rare that it comes out the first time. He he he he he. The other one in. I gotta say though, I didn't hear a whole lot of pressure on that thing. It's got some though. That's what's pushing that back out. Where's my low? Man, it's way down here. I'm going to need another... Kappa? Like that? Do you know where it is? Just one. Uh huh. What we call the evaporator. But it's the condenser right now beginning. This is my evaporator. The air is going in this way and coming out over here. That is good and cold. Checking right here to see if those heat strips are on because it's extremely hard to check them while the heat pump is running. So if the heat strips are on, I should be getting an amp draw out of that. I got one of them. One of the heat strips is working. I hope y'all enjoyed that video. That was a very common repair. I'm trying to show y'all. Somebody's got the zoomies. Hey, get out that hole, get! That's his little playpen. I allow him to have that hole. I hope y'all enjoyed the video. There's just been so much going on in my life recently. Maybe we can talk about it on the live. I'm actually trying to get a local farmer to come on my live for the next live I do on Sunday to talk about the struggles that they go through to try to make money. For example, right now it's cotton season. and you go by these huge fields that they have to tend all year long and you only see like maybe 50 bales of cotton those big round bales and you know they only get like fourteen to seventeen hundred dollars per bale that's not a lot of money for all the effort and time and taxes and fuel and irrigation that they have to put into it so i'm trying to get one of them to come talk talk to us on the live i think it would be very interesting i hope you all enjoyed the video check Check out the store in the corner. And check out the links in the description, especially if you're a contractor. There's a link to become an ACIQ dealer and for Jobber, both of which I use religiously, especially Jobber right now because I'm not doing a whole lot of installs right now. But I use Jobber every day. I really like the fact that it lets me add photos to my products that I'm installing. It allows me to use templates for like an inverter heat pump install. I can list everything, all the accessories that I have to add to the estimate. I can already have them listed there and have a picture and a title and everything and reviews on my estimates. It just makes it look so much better. And because I have a template, it makes it faster. Those links are in the description too. Catch you on the next one.
