When you find leaks like that, WE LOVE to see exactly where they are. Can you throw some Leak Tech on the joint to show us exactly where its leaking. Excellent job showing us exactly why it needs to be replaced. YOU are my favorite HVAC Channel. I love your Calm Professional down to earth HONEST demeaner. Its great to see this in a Professional these days. Keep up the excellent work. BC

That burned connection on the contactor caused too high of resistance which made the start current go way up. The Super boost was just masking the issue. But that compressor is pooched anyways.

Plenty of access to condenser unit. Another added bonus, peaceful area. The absence of school grounds, angry animals and helicopters is refreshing. 42 is cold when the wind kicks up, desert dweller here in Az.

I was going to say after you mentioned its just the wire and contactor and disconnect. Wouldn't the compressor be the root cause of all that burt electrical. By high amps. I know it can also because lose connections

Not the two stage Bristols that Carrier had in their Infinity condensers. They went broke due to those! Or at least that's what people have said.

What’s better a fuse, disconnect, and is a breaker disconnect code, I mean, I don’t hardly see the disconnects with breakers, but fuses being expensive. I think a disconnect with the breaker makes more sense, but I don’t know if it’s code or not. I’m just curious?

Shame, it's getting old, but not ancient. It sounded horrible and once you found that leak, I knew it was over. That's the same boost that is on my old leaker.

Hey Curtis. I see you are using yet another different leak detector. I already know you are not a fan of Inficon, to put it lightly, but did you give up on the Fieldpiece units as well? Just your thoughts as I am in the market for a new one. Thanks.

Good to know, thanks. FYI, I have been using a lower end Elitech for the last few years and it has been pretty reliable and affordable. After talking with you, I might try one of their higher end models and see how it works. Thanks again.
