"I used to lug up hoses to the roof two of them linked together. Lower the hoses off the side of the roof go down the hatch hook up the hose to the hose bibb turn on the water climb back on the roof position the hose on the compressor and wait.. A long time ~ and a lot of water wasted. Then climbing down the ladder to turn the water off. Lowering the hoses off the roof and lugging them back. In addition to whatever tools, refrigerant, gauges, recovery machine, vacuum, tanks, and parts needed to repair the cause."
The Kung Fu Maintenance method uses much less time, energy, and water to get the compressor cooled and ready for cooling action.
I've got an AC not cooling here the compressor's way hot to the touch, so
what I want to do is show you how to pack this nice and cool it down.
Nothing's running. The fan motor's not running. The compressor's not
running, but the compressor's definitely overheated. I suspect that the fan
capacitor's bad, and so the fan motor's not kicking on. I've got a video
showing how to secure this fan capacitor, so you can check that out how to
make this a little safer. Anyway, I wanted to show you how to get this
going if your compressor is overheated.
I've already pulled the disconnect as you can see back here. There's the
disconnect. The fuses are probably bad also. Now I'm going to go ahead and
discharge the capacitor. The capacitor holds a charge in it even after the
power's disconnected, so I'm holding my insulated screw driver in the
bridge that leads to the capacitor, and that way it's going to discharge
any charge that's still held in there. Then I can go ahead and pack the
compressor in ice here to cool this thing down. This is about the fastest
way to cool this down to run cold water and just pack it in ice to get it
cooled down. I'm just going to put my ice water deals. I just kind of keep
my freezer full of ice and ready to go in case this happens so I can get
these cooled down faster. Some people use a garden hose and run it over the
top. I used to do it that way. It takes a long time. This way it's 15 or 20
minutes to get this thing cooled down and ready to run again.
Now that we've got that on there we're going to go ahead and pour some cold
water and go ahead and start to cool this off just a little bit at a time.
Again, I suspect the fan capacitor is bad. I can go ahead and plug the
disconnect in and check that out there. It's also possible that it shorted
the breakers inside the unit. I have some new fuses, so I'm going to go
ahead and change the fuses out here. It's just now starting to get warmer
out here. It's probably 95 degrees today. With these fuses just pop them
out like so and then our new fuses and make sure everything's tight here.
If need be we can tighten these up with the common screw. Press our new
fuses in place and make sure those are tight and everything's tight there.
Now we're ready to plug this in.
I'll go ahead and plug it in and see what happens at my unit. OK. The deal
gave a sound like it was trying to start. I don't know if you heard the
buzzing sound, but the fan motor did not kick on.
