 I have no idea what I'm going to do today, that's generally how my day usually goes. Text message in the morning, whether I need to come to the shop or head to my first call and where it's at, my call slip number, and then I start my day. So I'm heading to the shop now, I'm going to pick up my call and any parts that I may have to get, and then get started. Basically I've got a slushy machine that is working fine when they're really using it, too cold otherwise, which means they're probably drawing it down and adjusting it when they need it when they're drawing it down. But then when it's sitting there it's basically it's getting too thick at first, so I've been running some of it through here. This right here is a first rachnometer, checks my bricks level of the solution. There's a certain amount of sugar level in there and that's done in a thing called Bricks, B-R-I-X, and the higher the bricks level, the harder it is to freeze, the lower the bricks level, the more water it is, the easier it freezes. That's not set correctly, it could be inconsistent, so I checked it, stirred it up, it's fine, we're right in our range that we need to be in, and so now we're doing some adjustments here on the spring. This machine's pretty much brand new, this complaint is it works fine when they're busy, but not so much when they're not. So basically kind of trying to tune it in here, and it's very selective of when it's going to come on. Right now I'm running it in clean mode to thaw it back out because basically it froze down too quickly. So this can be a really slow thing, so as it gets thicker the ice causes this switch to push over and makes that one close. There's one of my calls for the other day, this is liquid cooled, this is one of those water cooled condensers that you've seen on one of my other videos, and here's some of my other machines I work on, we've got the E-431, and I believe this one here, O-231. Then you got the old-fashioned tailors here, it's a 754. So basically that one there I finally got the books on it, so it's not too bad. But this is what I mainly went to school for. So we're going to basically get this adjusted, and then after that's done I've got some hinges here to replace. Looks good. So once they get past this initial draw, what sucks is I've got that exhausted as loose as I can get it. Alright so as you've seen on that, nothing real super exciting to show. I mean it's just matter of digging hinges out and adjusting springs until it gives you the right consistency that you're looking for. But unfortunately it's not just cut and dry, crank it in, crank it out, especially when you've got to check your bricks levels and the machine over does it. So now it's frozen, you've got to try to thaw that ice slushy stuff out so they can start over again, and just keep getting it back and forth until it finally hits where it needs to go. So going to another one, that's the one where we need to insulate the line set on the walk-in freezer. So we've got that one to do, and then we're replacing that motor bracket also. This is the one where we were low on recycling like it should, and basically we're going to get some of this insulation replaced. We're going to go ahead and put it into a defrost while we get ready to do these sort of things. I am no insulator. My brother is, he's a union insulator. There's all the tricks because there definitely is some tricks to this stuff. The biggest trick I've learned is not to use too much blue, but not surprise me that most of that rain down there, all that ice, it's probably because this thing's slushing up. I've got some caulking, mule caulk, but the problem is that it's wet, so it probably ain't going to stick for crap. I've got some three-quarter inch thick Armaflex. I've got to split it. I don't like that pillow part garbage. The freezer knife by itself didn't work. I'm sure one of those ones where you can extend it would work best, but I don't have to do this very often. This really ain't the right stuff for outside. Generally you'd use that plastic coated stuff. We've got insulators to do that. We have it in the shop. Usually we order it and just deliver it to the jobs. Probably go ahead and just get it done. And three, two, one. Go ahead and just glue it together and slide it through. One thing I can say that, you know, it does make sense that he told me, you just want a light coating and you should be able to get tacky like that. So generally one of the things he said that looks like half ass is when you do this at a 45 like I'm doing, but I don't have the experience that they've got to be able to do it. You'll actually do three of them. So this piece, that piece and one in the middle, think about it. That's not, I don't think it's going to be appreciated here anyway. I mean, I'm usually one for doing stuff no matter what. Do the best your ability. So to be honest with you with that little razor knife I've got, I'm kind of basically just doing the best I can because I'm like I said, I'm no insulator. And I honestly have only done it a couple of times. Then like I said, I'm going to try to caulk this in and build a bridge so that the rainwater will fall out around the sides. I glued it now in the center and then rotating it to there. I have seen guys paint this. Supposedly that helped you protect this. It looks a lot better than it did by far. Nothing super exciting today guys. I just thought, you know what? Today is a ride along day. I really haven't had much of anything to record. So unfortunately I figured we'll just do a ride along. Not done one of those and figured why not. Went ahead and just glued it together and slide it through. All right, so we got us the new bracket in here. Got some big old fender washers here on this side here. These two are wallered out. So I got that big one on the back side plus the smaller one that I brought. This one was okay. So I went ahead and just doubled those up on front and back as extra precautionary. And she's nice and tight. Just need to finish up the ice which is back here. That's kind of a dingleberry to try to get to. I may have to melt that out with my pump sprayer. I think what's been going on is up above the ceiling here. It's just been dripping down and I'm pretty sure there's no insulation left on that. And it's just the moisture and stuff from that I believe is what's caused it to freeze up like it's done. My focus is going to be on this part here. I'll see if I can get this but I've got a lot of other things I got to get done today and you know me. I always want to cut corners but I just can't do it. So we got it all melted out of there. So basically we got everything melted out. Just used my little pump sprayer here. I've got it all on. Using wire ties. I couldn't get it to glue or tape. There's just no room in there. All finished up. Got her all sealed with the memorized caulk. I basically just made me a big old cap around it. I went ahead and did my top corners there just to be safe that it doesn't come apart. Got the cooler insulated and added some of that around that one too. And over to one more yet. So this is the ice cream machine. It's got a sensor failure. I went in there and took a quick look at it. The sensor basically needs to changed. I keep a couple parts here for my ice cream machines. Just the ones that always seem to fail. I'll tell you now you know most of these businesses I'm working at are all local and they're not changed. And I protect their privacy. So you know I will try to never disclose who they are. Went ahead and logged into the service menu. And basically the temperature it thinks the cylinders add is 155. But in reality it's not. With these machines everything's ran by consistency and not temperature. So it doesn't really care what the cylinder temperature is until it gets nighttime. And it goes to sleep mode. Once in sleep mode then it pays attention to the temperature of the barrel. So right now it's not a problem. Went ahead and checked my product. And it's right around 17, 17 and a half degrees. Usually 18, 18 and a half. So where I shoot for. But it's working fine during the day. But as soon as nighttime would roll around it's potentially going to run non-stop and potentially freeze out. So right here's our cylinders, our sensors. And they come down here and these ones actually tie on where the sensing bulb is at. So just going to get that thing changed out of there. We've got a common wire here. We all share a common. We've lost quite a few of these. I'm not going to waste a lot of time testing resistances and all that. It's a known fact that this has a tendency to fail. These are better than what the original ones were. Okay there's that. Gets me into servicemen level. Scroll over to performance thing. Left cylinder 52. Right cylinder 72. So now we're in the right vicinity. Which 72 is what we are in here. Attach that thing and we should be golden. So as you can see right there I've got the cylinder right beside the bulb. And then the insulation wraps back around it. We'll get the wire ties and stuff back onto it. It'll be good to go. Got that wire tied up. Scroll over here. Take a quick look at the contactors and motor protectors. Filts still seem to be fairly okay. There is our temperature between the left and right. We're good to go there. Go into errors. Let's see what kind of errors we had. So a little swirl. Front a little cold. We're at 17.3, 17.1. We've got the chocolate world. It's even warmer yet. It's 16.7. But they changed the mix and things got a little stupid. Something you guys always ask, did I taste it? Well of course I did. Something you guys don't know is I used to be about 255, 260 pounds. And I lost most of that here in the last year and a half, two years. So it's still struggling to keep it off. I'm gonna try not to eat too much of that crap. Plus if you ever see how hard it is inside the machine, you'll be like, how's that working your body? Now I've only done ice cream now for about, I don't know, four years. Three years, four years. Just like everything, I pretty well have learned everything while being at this company. Definitely do more refrigeration here than I ever did prior to. So there you be. There's a little trip I used to hold my filter in. They have clean filters in there. And like I said, they're gonna go to gravity machines, which I think will be a lot better for them because they require a lot less maintenance and there's a lot less things that can be wrong to create themselves problems. Don't stare good. Everything looks fairly decent, even though it's a little bit messy. This stuff here is hard. It's not wet. So hey, that's gonna ramp up my day today.
