Real hard to get consistent ac people. If mine was in a easy spot to service I might have done it myself

Yes, black box with the two prongs.
Check for continuity across them first to see if they stuck closed.

Green Energy 12000 btu blowing but not blowing cold. No ice issues or water leaking (was serviced a month ago). Today I noticed the fan not spinning.
The guy said it was the capacitor.
He said go to Peakes and ask for a capacitor for 12000btu & it's an easy fix.

Anyone who knows about ac's, do the symptoms match the diagnosis?

Cant really comment on this one. I know the toshiba units are a bit on the costly side because they are the high end inverters not the mid line like most others sell. The rest have capillary tubes while these have solenoid valves.
price sounds a lil hot though. If you want I may be able to get a quote on one for you.

Nerve I ended up changing out the capacitor 35uF. This resulted in the fan spinning but no cold air still.
Noticed a small capacitor 2.5uF. What's this for?

It also does not appear that the compressor is coming on.

Advice?

Postby **nervewrecker** » July 17th, 2019, 7:54 pm

The 2.5uf is for the fan.

Check pm for advice because I can't be giving out advice other ac men does have to call me to fix in their own house. :fadein:

Can anyone shed some light on an issue of mine, AC leaking water inside a room but its coming from the back of the unit on the wall. I usually do my own maintenance and never had this issue before

If you have a wet/dry vacuum, try and vacuum the drain line. Just ensure that you seal the end of the drain line where you put the shop vac nozzle on to maximise the suction.

Thanks guys, turns out the drain line to the back was clogged, one of those wasps made a mud nest there.

I have 2 Toshiba Inverters (10,000 btu and 12,000 btu).

How many times a year should these be serviced?

Currently, they are serviced about 4 times a year @$300.00 each ($2,400.00 yearly total).

I find that yearly cost a bit steep.

Can the servicing be reduced to twice a year?

yes, depends on location and how often they used.

bluefete · Postby **bluefete** » July 23rd, 2019, 8:50 am

Thanks, Nerve. They are in 2 bedrooms. One is on 24/5 (unless I make noise, in which case the hours are less). The other is on about 8 hours average @ 7days.

I live in an area that is very dusty so the 12,000 btu clogs up frequently (orange light comes on about 2 months after a service). The 10,000 btu is not so bad.

yea, those will need regular servicing.

Have an inhouse design I playing with to spread out service intervals and keep road side units / units in dusty areas cleaner. It more or less supercharges units as well by either increasing capacity to some extent or making them perform well in our super hot environment. If you do your HW you will see systems are designed to operate in a 50 deg C max environment, after that they start taking in heat, reducing capacity, consuming more power etc. I measured a 1/5 drop in electrical consumption on an ice maker in hot blazing sun.

Putting one down in dumore this week. I experimented on a pair of 5 tonnes there. About a 10 degree C drop in discharge temps, 150 psi drop on discharge pressure, 10 psi drop on suction and liquid can be heard flowing through the liquid line as opposed to cool gas. The evap out temps dropped immediately from 22 degrees to 16 degrees. Condenser discharge air temps were rather cool as opposed to heated. One 5 tonne got so cold that ice started coming back on the suction line.

Of course, I cannot post anything further here. because big companies taking my research and acting like its theirs with not so much as thank you. :fist:
