Replaced fan motor and runs backwards has a dual
Sounds like you have the run wire connected to the capacitor instead of the start wire. I expect you have 3 wires; Common-black, Run-probably orange, and Start-brown. You should have either L1 or L2 from the contactor connected to the Com terminal of the capacitor. Connect Orange/Run to the Com terminal of the capacitor. Connect Brown/Start to the Fan terminal on the capacitor. Connect Black/Common to the other side of the contactor. The fan should run the other way.

Bleach smell when heat pumps clicks on
could be what we call dirty sock smel,l you need to replace evap coil or have it cleaned it's from the manufacture using recycled copper in there coils.

Everytime my air unit shuts off it drains water
Restricted air flow over the indoor evaporator coil or low on refrigerant. Check return air filter and dust an/or debris in the A-coil itself. Use manifold gauge set to check refrigerant pressures as a last resort!

We installed a new TCJD36 (3 TON) unit with new A
This really sounds like the unit is over heating the compressor to the point of triping the internal high limit switch and just taking that long to cool off before it resets. If it continues to do this go outside and run your water hose over the compressor for at least 30 minutes to cool the compressor down and see if it starts for you then. If so then your unit could be over charged and creating very high head pressures!

I ave install a new
1- Check the thermostat wires for good contact---with a volt meter check that you are getting power to the transformer in the indoor unit/air handler 120v in an 24v out to the control board
2- In the T-stat R to G calls the indoor fan on, R to Y calls the outdoor contactor to start the compressor and fan
3- Next check for power to the outdoor unit from the disconnect to the contact relay---240v (be very aware this can electricute you causing death)
4- With the unit calling for AC on you could use a wooden dowl to push the conntact relay in to see if the unit starts.
Note: call an HVAC Technician if you are confident you can perform these task's or Death may result!

Your compressor may be going bad. Check and make sure you have a proper sized breaker/fuses for the unit. Check and see that the capacitor is big enough to start the compressor and is not blown. I think those take a 45-5 cap. If all else fails, get a hard start kit from an HVAC distributor and install it as per the instructions. It may help delay the inevitable if the compressor is going.

The fan on my outsie
Your description is possibly a bit vauge for the problem it could be, but starting from the compressor, question is "can you hear the compressor running"? If you can then switch off quickly and check the cooling fan capacitor. almost certainly it has popped.If it has, and even with a new capacitor it wont start, then a complete condensing fan unit is required.If the compressor isnt running, then one of a few things could be the problem. A- The voltage getting to the compressor or the cap, is not correct which points to a problem with the board. B- If the compressor is jambed,(siezed),then it is bringing the voltage down to the point where even the fan cant run. Need to check those points to determine the next course of action.

New unit only 2 years old had to start fan with
A motor that won't start but can be started with assistance typically indicates a capacitor malfunction.
Do not replace this part unless you are sure all power is disconnected from the unit. Also, discharge the terminals by grounding them out before touching them or you could be shocked.
If you do this be sure to replace it with a capacitor with the exact same rating as the old one.
If you are still not comfortable with this repair call a professional. This is a very simple repair for any pro.

It's a brand new unit
is the fan outside too noisy,if so there is no way to change the speed of this fan,the blower motor in the furnace can be adjusted,either by adjusting the centrifugal pulley on the motor shaft or electrically or installing a different squirrel cage fan on the furnace blower

My A/C turned off. Still blowing air around. Hot
if you open the bottom panel of your furnace you will find the controll board there will be 4 wires coming back from the thermostat and 2 going to the a/c the 24 volt hot wire for the a/c will be hook to the yellow wire coming back from the thermostat take them off the board and wire nut them together this will do the trick in many cases

Hi my name is tony! I have a Goodman A/C cplj36-1B
Hi Tony. It sounds like you still need to replace the capacitor. The capacitor is located inside the electrical compartment on the outside condenser and will be either round or oval with 2 or more wires connected to it. They are usually held in place by a small metal strap and a screw. The motor that you have just bought will have a capacitor rating on it which will say how many Micro-Farads (Mfds) are needed. For example: 35uf/5% They usually run around $10.00 and will save you a ton of money replacing yourself. You can pick these up at your local A/C supply store. Just be sure to get the correct size and you should be good to go as long as you haven't burnt anything up by over-heating the motor. Hope this helps and good luck!

If your evaparator coil is clean and your filter is clean you may have a low refrigernt charge need to get it checked by a service tech. they will have the proper tools to do this.

My Air conditioner stopped putting out cool air.
The unit is overheating and tripping the internal overload of the compressor. Clean outdoor coils.....check outdoor fan to see if it turns or is siezed......possible bad Start/Run Capacitor which is a very common failure on condensing units......possible bad fan motor need replaced! Unit compressor can be cooled with a water hose to get it to reset the internal biometalic high limit switch that is located in the hermetically sealed compressor!

New unit got leak and it is repaired.by mistake
Running only 120psi on the high side is actually pretty low. Most systems operate at 200+psi. Charging the unit on the high side while it is running will actually push the refrigerant back into the bottle and is dangerous and shouldn't be done. Charging the high side with the unit off will not hurt the system, it is just preferred to be charge with liquid, but none the less, it will just push the refrigerant away from the compressor. The only thing that you really have to watch for is charging liquid into the low side since it can ruin the compressor internally. I would say you need to finish charging the system on the low side with vapor and be sure that you have the right amount of superheat. Hope this points you in the right direction!
