 Alright guys, so I'm putting together another video here, and I've got a bunch of them So each video's got you know things I like about it don't like about it I mean and we're talking stuff from two years ago or longer, so it just kind of really depends So what I'm gonna do on this video here. I kind of held it. I made a mistake and Kind of was like not sure I wanted to show it, but screw it. Let's do it This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech tools quality tools essential support All right, so we get a zero zone Reaching cooler. I was told it was a freezer That was freezing up, but it's a cooler So it looks like they shut it off because it was supposedly freezing product and breaking it so I believe they turned it off I haven't been outside to check yet They've got thermostat down there. Well, they got it turned up to 60. So maybe that's why I'll just give it a brief look over The TXV here Screen actually has a port to check their super heat. It's fairly newer some of it. It's in 2015 Like I said that thermostat It's turned up because they probably trying to call it out. It does not appear to be running. So Here for a moment, I don't feel anything going on so I'm gonna say it's probably turned off I'm gonna go outside and see what's going on out there I would say it's this one here. I'm getting very little information on why what when All these things kill you when it comes time to find problems and people don't have good information So you got Two other coolers over here and one over there. We just flipped it on Vance just came on like I said the disconnect was off Well, those are a little dirty Looks like a makeshift pop-off device of some sort Kind of amazed by all these they're actually legal to have honestly They're so worried about vinten refrigerant and they're allowing them away to vina. You would think they'd let them blow the compressor up It was so dangerous for the environment It's pretty solid. That's a good thing I'm wondering does it come down and shut off? We have a problem with the bracer switch, maybe not working correctly Just plowing it to run It's so annoying to shut it off. I don't know The problem with this here when you don't really have a good way to know what was going on Because you've kind of got to go through and just start double-checking everything. I mean it's such a waste of time because You don't get a good description of what's going on It grows up. I mean first of all it's full of a freezer That's wrong I'm told it's froze up, but they've already thought it out They really are doing a disservice themselves by not giving you a good accurate description of what's going on And that's not our people's fault. It's the owner of not getting information to the service person So now it's time to be a detective and go through here and see if we can figure out What exactly causes it to do it. We've got our usual maintenance items dirty coil Possibly low on charge hard to tell yet the coolant is not down to temperature and TXV is probably adjusting So first thing I did when I got here was I made sure all the fans are running Now what I'm gonna do is most of you look at the thermostats turning on and off that Look at that variance There it's tight Check super variances on that. I'm gonna go outside make sure that shuts off It looks like it is because I can hear stop the flow. So we're gonna go and make sure it's shutting off And we're just gonna be generic and go from in here Not pumping down very quickly Sure for Jordan this can either Except for a four-bound Check that pressure switch, of course even if the pressure switch isn't Shutting it off the solenoid valve stopping the flow There's 15 so the 15 suit it does Checking the contact around making sure everything's good to get taking all the wire connections There's looking for burn wires We're looking at that point going through it just trying to eliminate things like that You know, that's a rubout just waiting for a place to happen Just stupid stuff like this that you just got to look at it Just start finding all the other stuff Likely going out next so even if it's not the one particular thing all they know is hey you were just out here and It's having problems again may not be the Same issue, but I'd be another and they expect you to find everything the first trip Wait for it to see if it's 50 which I don't think it's gonna take much longer. It should See where it shuts off at most likely what I'm figuring we got going on We've got a thermostat that's bad But you've got all these other things you just want to make sure you check everything Okay, so we're 48 Shipping a rocket just a little bit and it should shut off Can't find the me frost clock either somebody's got that hidden somewhere Well degrees off area Let this thing come down. I think it takes these not adjusted very well either Doesn't seem like it's feeding very good just looking at the pipes But once again, that's like digging yourself into a whole new hole Things just never quit few things changing a bunch of stuff Definitely not pumping down very quickly whatever Zillinoid's not closing Wilbur, I think they might have the issue Shut off earlier Nothing's happening. So I'm gonna make sure I didn't Somehow not to turn it off If not then So long to solenoid valve sticking, which I've not had before Could be our issue. It shouldn't be pumping down Definitely cranked all the way up Feel like it's doing anything And I'm just asking for that to get into the family Our time that up here in a little bit Trying to have it my clock is down here somewhere. So we got that off of there She should be pumping down, but I'm not seeing her pumping down So we've got a solenoid acting up here. That's kind of weird Definitely a little weird Feel the heat coming through the filter guy just seems Interesting Here's to me. He's got a bad solenoids. So you gotta come back on for another go around aren't you? Sporm on valve here three-eighths. It's good for up to three point two tons, which I know that's no three ton unit It's not quite the exact type of mounting system. This uses a screw down coil They tend to use those more often because they're more secure We're gonna go ahead and use this one and it should sit on top. They're fine one thing I don't like about this one here. It's brass directly. No nice copper in between. I gotta use the High silver content brace. Oh boy. Can remove at least you can rebuild these unlike the cheaper ones That have just the copper stub. We'll go ahead and get this in there All right, so we got it in there. Go ahead and chop the other piece off right there ended up Clean it up with my brass wheel here end up using the stay-silver paste along with the high silver contents 40 45 percent area so then we just clean it up a little bit make it look pretty and Should be good to go everything Looks like it's sealed right. I had double-checked all of our joints there Go ahead and get her back together pull it put back on it Make sure it's not leaking this so you new guys know what's inside here This piece here that goes down in the actual valve right here Got the needle Just this piece right here Just got some holes and stuff in it like that Then you get your seal which is that metal ring up in here There's just be a spring in there And there's a plate in there for it So then the electric magnet solenoid Sucks that thing up We're gonna put a little bit of nile on around the Threads a little bit throw our magnet on that to pull that up so we can pull through it May actually just pull inside here because there's no other valves anywhere else to pull on it Outside all those valves are on the system not on the Evaporator side that's something that's a little different with the way Frituration works versus air conditioning. I will mention too. There's a little bleed port right there Put that in the wrong way that goes in there like that right there that way Don't mislead you There's a lot of people pick up on these sort of things Actually play it back and look for a little errors that they might make And so you guys know for it. I am not perfect. Believe it or not so anyhow it's like that we'll torque that down a little bit and Get busy with the vacuum I'll take this moment to to mention here's a couple of the tips I use this is the captain hook It's got its goods and bads You gotta have the pressures perfect if you bump it sometimes should go out and you'll have backfire on it This one right here is probably the most reliable if you're wanting to do two tips this is a Harris I believe and Not really sure the number on it anymore, but that one does an exceptionally good job It just isn't a real big wide opening. I think that's my number one I don't ever use that and then this is my one of my rosebud tips, which does a real good job all this stuff Sets inside my little bag here, which is a little husky bag and that's where I keep my cap tube cutter an extra port there for three-eighths along with my little cutter and my flux and my Braze rod another braze rod is there's blue ones there. Those are really nice, too But generally what I'll do is I'll shine that up dip it in there Then apply it it usually works really good and one other tip you can add water to this and Make it as runny as you want it because it will dry out if you're not using it very often So don't be afraid to add a little bit of water to it every so often. All right, so this is the old valve Can be the quick check on it You get rotated multiple different locations Eventually you'll get it in there But I would say it was getting hung up on it when I backed it out. I don't get crushed it any so it's sticking So I don't think just backing it out because it doesn't look like I overled it when I backed it out that it cost that It's not a whole lot to these things. What was probably happening for whatever reason some crap has gotten inside of there and That's why it ended up failing I'm just gonna pull a quick vacuum get this thing down into the negative get the air out of it They're not going to 500 microns and it's just nearly impossible Luckily, it's able to get our electric off the top I've made a little sheet cheater cords that plug in with a fan that for and that works out pretty good, too You know you want to make sure you got your coil pinned of some sort So you don't burn your coil out I also got a pin for like trailers and stuff for that, too We're gonna go ahead and with this thing replace here in a second and make sure there's no leaks So we went ahead and killed the power and went ahead and turned the valves on so we get the pressure up Move into a leak check real quick This works a little bit better than trying to get all the nitrogen out and not cross contaminate stuff These are the little things that you're gonna learn when you start doing more refrigeration Okay, so I went ahead and just spray down all the fittings that are typical to leak Any of my fittings there so they all look good You might have to tighten that up a little bit That there's probably just the air sneaking out from around the stem. That's about 70 pounds of pressure on it So it's Sweet adequate So we're gonna get a longer screw. We're gonna put it in there as you see Works just fine It's just a little bit deeper Magnet the most part is all in line with that metal stem We're gonna make sure this thing pumps down right now. That's not energized So once this shuts down pumps down, we're gonna go ahead and then open it up and then just make sure she runs This thing shuts off for backup make sure it's operating and Should wrap it up unless there's other hidden gyms on this So it wasn't one to pump down Since nobody has a clue about anything that's going on around here and nothing is labeled This walk-in cooler here is also on the circuit so That's why it was trying to run still So it's opening and closing like it should now I'm back to possibly replacing the thermostat now. I'm gonna go ahead and replace the thermostat and call it a day Would have been great to have known All right, so we got the new thermostat on there To do that. I have a digital tracker by ideal And it's such a wired mess here that I cannot find the breaker I ended up just taping off the prongs and pulling it out and doing it live because there's just no way to get it in there So anyhow, she's on it's running got everything tucked up Gonna go ahead and double-check it. Hopefully get out of here Far as the job here don't know what to say about that I went ahead and labeled it so coolers on walk-in cool walk-in cooler So the next person will know that you're not wasting a lot of time I wish we could found the breaker, but that wasn't the case. I wish I could find the defrost clock. I can't find that either Not sure this one has one in here because the other cooler is on there with it So it's hard to say I say they both are gonna probably go into defrost at the same time It's gonna be a timed off defrost. I was able to get a longer screw to fit that It makes full use of that without having to sell them a whole new solenoid And it's not vibrating or anything so we get there so far. Everything's running See whether it cycles off the tip which I've got another call in this town So I'm gonna go do that and I'll stop back later. Let's see how it's doing I'd have said about 36 37 We just went through and kind of blew it out with the Milwaukee blower You can see a light through it It's precious holding pretty good. It's about 85 out here. We're not doing too bad It's like last school I'm gonna go ahead and just call it a day. We've been here for quite a while. So Everything's cooling down See how this goes. We'll stop back later and make sure that it's shutting off where it should Luckily, I had my valve front seated on my receiver and my compressor So when I pulled that vacuum on it, I pulled the walking cooler into a vacuum at the same time So then when I released it that was, you know, all Clean fresh freon from the system coming back in no air Even though we had that other circuit on the system. So we're good to go there That's why I like doing that because if not it would have came through with a nitrogen It could have contaminated the whole system Just another good reason why if you can avoid using it on stuff like this, we've got multiple heads different things go on Sometimes you're better off. I mean the system is dry and clean begin with we open it up for a split second to do a repair Put it back together. It isn't like it rained inside of it or anything like that That's my feeling on it. Some of this stuff is a little hyper and inflated far as some of the crap that we do I have no problem doing on a brand new system spend a long time do it perfect But on some of this repair stuff, it's just not logical It's just not feasible sometimes to do a lot of that So if you guys like the video and you want to see more like it give it a thumbs up like share and subscribe And until next time we'll catch you guys on the next one
