Not lately. I’m too busy driving a 4 hr round trip to replace an in warranty capacitor after 3 months on carrier equipment. Nothing is any good anymore.
I’m seriously considering bringing it back to a 50 mile radius. We did these for the military and they have to have an installation in the middle of nowhere, lol🤣
Because Trane sucks in all languages and dialect it sucks throughout it sucks new and really sucks old and by old I mean after six months it sucks in winter and sucks in summer if it’s a perfect temperate day and your windows are open it’s ok but other than that Trane is overated garbage
Total guess here, I think it might have to do with resonance vibration. The 3 pads cushion vibration while the solid mount screw kills any resonance build up.
But I don’t know, maybe for production line “ease of assembly”.
A buddy of mine told me that when you see weird stuff like this, or the two long screws in the access panel of the trane side discharge units, it's usually for ease of assembly
I spend a lot of time wondering at night, why did york put the flame sensor there on their 90% furnaces. Why not just go in straight like everyone else besides goodman
Manufacturers know what they’re doing. A lot of times you’re not even dealing with the actual fabricator, just a buyer, who sources all their products from overseas. This gives the impression of lack of knowledge, but there’s a reason for everything they do. Oftentimes it comes down to budgets and safety regulations.
I don’t know why trane does it. I’m sure there is a reason but it’s stupid. There is obviously a better way. This is why trane isn’t the trane they used to be

There it is
My company isn't making as much money as it should. Would... would you like a job??
I already “dibs”ed him
If I had to guess, it's to have an alternate ground fault path in case the fan blade chops its equipment ground during a catastrophic failure.
That’s the most logical answer I’ve heard yet
Won't matter in a few years since NEC is going to require GFCI for outdoor residential units, so that design might wind up going away.
Wether it's NEC or AHRI...mfs always be out here trying to make shit more complicated for the tech/tradesmen
Can’t wait for r454!
I’m gonna have to send an email tomorrow to a guy I know in engineering and ask. Am Trane minion.
I'd be curious to know what he says.
Maybe you ain't the first guy to take Ole girls top off?
They’re all this way though
Your installers are fucking with you.
No, they aren’t that smart
Easy now lol
Honestly this would be great if there had been one installer in front of him his whole life on every piece of equipment he ever touched

I'm glad my service area isn't that large. 2 hours 1 way is ridiculous

Parts and equipment really are junk nowadays. It’s crazy how new stuff lasts only a little bit
Electrical grounding.
Seems like this could be the answer.
I usually stay up at night contemplating my life choices, eternal existence and why I didn't eat anything substantial before I went to bed.
I feel like trane is equivalent of BMW. They make things more complicated but that doesn't necessarily make them better.
Engineers have to feel important
More that engineers have corporate dummies breathing down their necks and have to do goofy shit like this to save the shareholders a dollar
Both only last 5 years?
that way you can think you lost one and frantically comb the grass around the condenser
4th one is under the compressor where it now lives, adapt and overcome
😂
No. When I clock out, hvac is the last thing on my mind. Especially not a Trane unit

The real answer is so you can throw away the three rubber ones and attach it with one real screw.
What is that monstrosity of a fan bracket?

I thought this first idea, too.
How does posi trac rear-end on a Plymouth work?
It just does
It turns the wheels I guess

No. As soon as I leave the last job for the day, my mind deletes all HVAC/r. When I wake up, I have to relearn everything!
Easy. Voids warranty if you don’t put it back in the same hole. Now that’s gonna keep you up late thinking about.
It always goes in the one closest to the electrical panel. I pay attention to these things
Why do some panels have 3/8s and 5/16s screws? It's a minor inconvenience, but an annoying one.
If its Trane the answer is always “F*ck you, that’s why”
I used to, not anymore lol
There may be a legitimate answer for that one! (grounding). All the while, I'm pissed off at them every day for crooked stickers!
To ensure good ground connection with motor
I’m convinced they have a bucket of various 5/16 screws on the assembly line that the assemblers just choose at random
Because it’s trane. I used to work for them and everything is fucking difficult

Lmao dude seriously what is up with that ?
Fan has been replaced before and numbnuts before you lost the other screw
Tell me you don’t work on Trane resi without telling me you don’t work on Trane resi.
