Congrats (sorta) on getting this behind you... -CJBWhat is in the house when I bought it is a Carrier Infinity system. We did not replace the whole system as it was not needed since it was installed fully less than 10 yrs ago. we ended up replacing the compressor. That is what failed. Not just failed but became crispy burnt Maybe from the storm sometime Wed or early Thursday? Christian Brothers came out and did the work for this. They ended up cutting about $350 off the initial quote since they couldn't get it fixed immediately. Under normal circumstances, like not late on a Friday afternoon on a 3 day weekend, it would not have taken this long.This part was amazingly expensive to replace. I did call around to other places but being a long weekend there was not alot to be done for us.I was impressed with Stans although they did not do the work. They had some good offers on their site and the guy I spoke with was very nice and polite and patiently listened to me. Anyways, that's life and I am thankful it was not worse and thankful we could make it happen. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a compressor replaced that way back in the nineties.ย 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the twice annual service andย ย sold us the Carrier system two or three years ago. With the CV 19 crazy, we didn't do the Spring tune up.ย I'm assuming for now that it was related somehow to yesterday's heat, but it's handled worse in the past...and cooling the house in hot weather is what AC systems are supposed to do.ย Also, this reminds me. If I get this code again,ย I could turn the systemย off and then back on to see if that resets everything.ย I used to have thisย note taped to my computer at work: Turn computer off and then back on before making panic stricken phone calls to IT help desk.

AntonioGG Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I think modern AC systems are supposed to deal with a glitch and a high pressure switch trip. ย The problem with my old system was if the power glitched when the compressor was at a certain point in the cycle, it would trip the high pressure switch, but it would get stuck. ย I think modern ones should self reset. ย It's a problem with some older equipment other than AC systems too and it's more exposed with the auto-recover utility switches which can trip and recover within a second or so which a lot of equipment doesn't like.

I bought a window unit for maybe $300 and set it up in the bedroom just for sleeping and TV watching while we waited the long weekend for repairs. Hank's A/C is owned by Hank Hodes, an avid mountain biker in our group and a decent fellow. I wish I had a list of what everyone here did. For example if you need a welder, I got a mountain biker guy for ya. Thanks Tip, that was sweet.

GFisher Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Another thing to look for is ants. They are attracted to the electricity and one time the ant bodies started piling up in mine and prevented contact. https://www.championac.com/blog/keep-ants-out-of-your-air-conditioner/ Edited June 10, 2020 by GFisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June Bug Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Stan's guy/galย ETA isย 6 to 9 pm today.ย Our Gold Service contract is still in effect, so Yeah! for that.ย I looked at the compressor and all looks clean and spiffy; no ants.ย There's a hackberry that's resproutedย about a foot away from the compressor pad, though. Started lopping it downย down last summer without realizing there was a wasp nest in there & won't make that mistake twice.ย I hope the tech person gets a bunch of overtime pay.ย They confirmed that the technicians use appropriate PPE.ย ย re: Ants.ย Strawberry/tawny crazy ants have colonized the Southern WC multi-use path in the section adjacent to the rugby fields at the gravel road crossing.ย ย You never, ever, ever want those things anywhere near your property.ย I occasionally worried about bringing them home on my bike frame/tires.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Bug Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) AC guy: dirty condenser coilsย combined with heat caused the fault code.ย Coils cleaned, filter changed, tuned up and ready for the summer!
