  • lets cross our fingers thats the problem.....hahaha

  • @lemn1064 Hey whats up Man !!!

    Thank You very much for commenting !!!

  • Fritz. installed a new coil with a TXV already installed and a new condensor. The ntro holds so no leaks. But it will not pull the vacuum. I get a steady 1950 microns on the low side and 1350 on the high. The gauge works great. When I valve off the system, the pump pulls 325 microns on itself easily. Do I need to heat thesensor bulb? What could be my problem?

  • @randymarcell Hey whats up Randy !!!

    How long and how much Nitro , did you bubble test too ?

    How long to pull to 1350 ?

    I didn't pull schraders on my last one it took me awile to hit 350 over a hour , once I hit blocked off it will rise , American Standard says long as I don't pass 500 in 1 minute we are good !!!

    Are you using 2 Micron Gauges ?

    Man sorry your having a time with her Brother !!!

    Sounds like you got a pin hole somewhere !!!

  • how did you troubleshoot and find that the txv was the problem ?

  • @fritzhvac haha hey no problem. I only came across this video because I went to school and got my Gas fitter 2. I want to be a heating and air conditioning tech! I actually start tomorrow at a company and I'm soo excited! I almost got into union gas as a turbine operator but after the second interview they found someone more suitable for the position. oh well! I start tomorrow!

  • @MiChAeLrIdEsBmX Hey MiChAeL !!! I pumped her back to the unit , and locked her down so I would not loose my charge .

    Mike there is always just a taste of refigerant left in the line set !

    Man that was a great question !!!

    Thanks for watching brother !!!

    Take Care ,

    Fritz ...

  • Just wondering, When you started loosening the line, it obviously let out the refrigerant. But I am curious, did you drain the system before that, or did u drain the old stuff and that was just a little bit of refrigerant left in the system?
