Now I feel extra proud that I replaced my drain line back in 2010 when the drain pan filled with water and the emergency switch tripped. I couldn't get the clog out, and PVC is cheap. I keep the T-shirt stained with purple primer as a trophy.

Another good video .. thanks.<br>Got caught by the thermostat batteries once and the Capacitor once ... solution is to make sure you have spares on hand .. Amazon is fast but not that fast and Arizona is brutal in the summer.

Batteries. I've had 10 A/C problems and it was never that. While I was waiting for the call back I figured I'd just try it. Worked, cool air flows. Thanks man

I was noticing that my thermostat was taking to long to get to temperature, I knew I hadn't changed batteries hadn't been changed for about 3-4 yrs since the landlord placed a new unit on the roof yes, mines on the roof bought new batteries took care of the problem $5 for new batteries

Thank you so much. My last repair was the outdoor fan. How I discover? I unscrew and lift cover where the fan is attached. I tried to manually rotate the fan. Put screw fan cover back and turn on aircon and it works. Conclusion fan was stuck.

Hi Ray, thank you for the great videos, I have a question: am I wasting money using this product (Nu-Calgon 4165-24 Liquid Drain Opener) or should I just use vinegar?
