Dude, I love when u actually run through it with that meter. It's a gamechanger to help the techs. U are AWESOME MAN!!!!!!

This video helped me identify a burnt wire. I appreciate this video as it helped me get up and going. Thank you.

You are THE man! Mine was two shorted wires at the top of my compressor. Checked the compressor windings, rewired, and back in action. Thanks very much for your very detailed video!!

These videos are great, thank you. I've learned a lot.

Nice video. Just to share. I always start with the safety switches HPS OLP LPS etc.... If I suspect and found that the relay board is broken, I jump T1 of compressor straight to L2 disconnecting it from the Relay. When the compressor starts, it is the relay board. The contacts inside the relay are the ones that go bad. Not the entire board.

Very helpful!! 3 ptacs in my home, got rid our our ducting, best thing we ever did (put sleeves in the three main areas of our home), our master bedroom ptac went out 2 days ago, august 103 degrees S. georgia. just took the capacitor out of another bedroom ptac and ours is fixed now. I switched them. btw the other bedroom ptac now does the same thing, so it was the cap. Wife very happy, we'll see tonight! So here[s what it was doing.. on high or low cool, about every minute or so, there was a slight buzz for about 5 seconds, then stops till another minute rolls around, compressor was very hot to the touch, really hot. the fan always ran as normal just no ac. so the cap fixed it. and the compressor was fine all along and we're happy now. cleaned the whole thing too ge digital ptac. thanks for your video.

Overload was always my first problem!

Exelent video !!!! Gracias amigo. 👏👍

Great video

well done

Thanks bro

Hi Dave just put a new heater element still not working,I do have a green light on the Left corner what's that about?

❤

You have any info on GE PTACs

Dirty coils could also be the culprit.

What would you suggest if the ptac unit is short cycling? What troubleshooting steps would you take? I have two units at work that run for 3 minutes at a time before the compressor stops running.

This is not the same as a FRIEDRICH PTAC Zoneair --model PZH12K3SB-A it’s absolutely close though.

any advice or can you do a video for a unit that is short cycling? compressor stays on forcouple minutes then turns off

Hey can you put a hard start kit on these ?

The ptac I have a problem with makes a constant ticking noise behind the control board to the compressor..what would you do step by step to figure out you situation

The compressor was working normally giving out good cold air and suddenly it became completely quiet when the air-conditioner was switched on the next time, is this likely due to the capacitor issue? As you have said in the video there will still be starting sound coming from the compressor. But in our case no starting sound can be heard, what are the chances that it is a capacitor issue?

So I’m working on a unit now and when I disconnect the black thermostat wire the compressor will kick in perfectly but once it’s reconnected it shuts it back off. I’ve replaced the thermostat send it still has the same problem. Any advice on what I should do?

You’ve been my “go to” guy for almost two years now. Lol. I have a Amana ptac where the compressor turns on but no cooling. I’ve checked everything else. Would that just mean the system lost its refrigerant?

How you test condenser fan please

I have a 6000 btu ge window unit. It powers on, but when I set it to 65 degrees, a minute later, it jumps back up to 77 degrees. Any help would be appreciated.

My compressor is not starting but the fan is blowing fan what could be the issue

i have total of 40 plus Amana ptec few air-condition showing F6 code and i replaced the yellow thermistor, but the code is not going away its working fine even with the code what should i do to get rid of the code

Ok serious question lol i changed everything on the ptac unit (islandaire) and still nothing I checked compressor and everything blower and fan are running what can be going on ?

You never mentioned low refrigerant will cause the compressor from not coming on.

Haven’t tested anything yet but I have an Amana PTAC compressor stays on forever even when off and master switch off

Can the pressure switch be replaced?

I got a a ptac that seems to be lockup. LRA is fine and Capacitor has been changed. Voltage is fine. Any suggestions?

I have an Amana ptac unit with twist knobs.. everything works except the compressor does not come on.. between line 1 and compressor wires I have 0 volts.. but from ground to line1 i have 120 and from ground to compressor I have 120 just don’t get 240 like you do in the video?

Mr. David have you ever run into a PTAC unit where it's cooling perfectly fine, but on the evening when it starts getting hot the unit blows warm air

What the amp draw on the compressor supposed to be it should be 4 amp correct

Thermal cap on the compressor is most common

I need an overload switch for that exact unit, nobody seems to have it.

Compressor not kicking in for my AC, diagnostic says Low current on CT1, what's the cause sir? Thanks in advance.

How do I bypass the overload switch?

My compressor goes on and off every 3 what could possibly be wrong i already clean the ac to see if any changes and nothing thanks hopefully somebody help me out here thank you

My problem is my digital temp will not go up or down, why is that

I found this on a search for window a/c but don't think that's what this is.

What if the unit turns on but not turns the cold air on

amana window ac is not cooling. fans and compressor are running but the air is not cold. used a heat gun on the thermocouple by no change. compressor plumbing is cool to the touch.

Hey bud I am one of your UKposts subscriber and am seeking help I had code f6 on my Amanda ptec I replaced the thermistor and the circuit board code went awry for a bit compressor came on and I thought it was fixed after I installed it in the room it doesn’t work and showed me code f6 again and I changed four different thermistor but the code won’t go away and AC not working compressor doesn’t come on and it’s is very hot could you guide me what should I do next please thanks
