Tech confirmed no cracks in drain pan on Gas pack 4. Tested drain without issue. No longer overflowing into return after clearing blockage the other day. Tech attempted to pump water out of return, but pump would not pump straight up far enough. Tech moved ceiling tile under return and drilled a small hole, allowing return to drain into a trash can. Tech recommends letting return drip dry a few days before putting ceiling tiles back in position.

Tech found 30 year old system not cooling due to a failed start capacitor and 25uf run capacitor reading 5% weak. Tech replaced them for testing purposes and found system started back up, but outdoor fan running slowly. There appears to be a temperature limit controlling a 2 speed 1/6hp 820 rpm outdoor fan motor. Temp limit is physically broken. Due to age, and multiple recommended repairs, tech recommends replacing system. Bryce is running mandatory.

TECH RAN CHECK ON GAS PACK #4 (221310511L) DRAIN SYSTEM. TECH CLEANED DRAIN LINES, DRAIN LINES WERE CLOGGED. TECH ADJUSTED DRAIN LINE POSITION COMING OUT OF GAS PACK TO DRAIN CORRECTLY. UPON ANY FURTHER ISSUE WITH DRAIN MAY NEED FURTHER DIAGNOSE.

Unable to clear drain pipe with compressed nitrogen due to multiple vents on piping system. -All systems operating correctly at this time.

Complete punch list after previous inspection.

Upon arrival tech recovered Freon from system and pressure tested with nitrogen. Tech leak searched with soap bubbles but could not identify leaks. Circuit 1 was 1lb low of factory charge and circuit 2 was 1.5lbs low of factory. Tech pulled vacuum and charged circuit 1 with 11lbs and 8oz R410A and circuit 2 with 7lbs of R410A. System back operational at this time.

Upon arrival tech inspected Kitchen RTU #3. Tech found compressor #1 mega ohm bad range, compressor #2 was in good range.
