 All right, so we're here to work on a freezer. It says it's not working well. So unless that thermometer there is off, it looks like it's working fine. So we got over here and we just got here. So let's go and take a look. Everything feels frozen to me so I'm not sure what they're having problems with. Coil's not frozen. So we're coming around the back side here taking a look at it. I just talked to the owner. He said this morning about nine o'clock area. He said it was really warm. The guys that was taking care of things last night before they closed said things were a little bit warm. Next thing you know it's obviously down to negative 10. Looks like heat tape's working good. The back coil's clean. Everything's working fine there. I know you guys don't like our PVC idea there, but it works pretty good and nobody says anything about it. I'm going to get up there and take a look see what got going on. Maybe it was in a defrost. Maybe we were low on charge. Maybe the ducts got in there and screwed things up. Antelopes, zebras, who knows. Check super heat too just in case. That's the coil looks to be clean. Everything looks fine on that. Let's take a look inside here. Got an old fashioned clock on here which is reliable. 45 minute defrost which is more than enough. Two times for 24. They don't get into this like crazy amount of times I don't believe. So right now at 1146. So to figure out where we were at say he was here at 9. We've been 10, 11. I've been two hours and a half ago. But here it is at 8 o'clock. I would have done it and currently it thinks it's 230. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So seven, seven and a half hours ago that it did whatever it did. I haven't touched anything on the clock yet. Go ahead and mark it just to make sure that it's moving. And then we'll put it into defrost and see if it can get into it and get out of it. Let's give this a second. Everything else looks good enough for government work. Well we waited just a little bit ahead of phone call and it did, did rotate. So let's go ahead and get this thing up against. I mean 45 minutes is really long. Generally 30s plenty. 32. It should have a termination in there and it looks like it's hooked up. All that's pretty tight. Less compressors maybe not starting. We do have a time delay here. I've just had those fail in the past. So that's always a possibility. You could have a thermostat acting up. Just want to defrost. Shorten this up a little bit. Maybe take it to 32. Let's see if it pumps down. Pumped down. You know some other things I've seen happen in the past too is the pressure switch on super cold weather will be screwy and sometimes it's not set low enough so it will trigger and come on. Usually you can do about 20-23 on 404 I think. PSI. Okay let's go back in here. Got the thermal imager, flexion off the back there. Okay it's pretty obvious that it's working. Might be underneath the coil which is why it's probably not showing up very good. It looks like to me that it's more than adequate. Heat tape looks to make sure it's working. Which it sure appears as it is because look at it from this angle. Yep there's the heat tape. You can see that it's working. Okay good. There's a little frost. There's a little frost in there. Not horribly bad. Let's watch this for a minute. See if it kicks out on zone. I got the stopwatch started. We'll see if it triggers out but from what I'm seeing we're definitely in the negative 19 if that's accurate. Now you get a 16. That's all based off reflection. I'm going off that bottom left corner there what it's got but anyhow, ice cream feels pretty hard. It's not like I'll squish you but you know. Let's watch this for a little bit. See what we get. Hopefully we'll come up with something because there's something going on. Let's take a look at this thermostat here. Seems pretty tight. It's right around that zero mark so it's not off by much. Put it back down to that negative 10 area. He may have turned that just hoping that maybe that had something to do with it. You can see that we're dripping down and we're at just six minutes area so it's defrosting pretty quick. It's not real super iced up. Like I said the coil looks pretty good. That time it just kicked out officially and it did it right at 13 minutes so we'll be fine every bit of maybe 30. This is a failsafe. Just kicking back on. The cyclast is solid. No flashing at all there. Caps are on. The fan cycle seems like it's working because the fan's off right now. I'm not seeing a whole lot wrong other than possibly a thermostat issue because the defrost is working. Defrost clock's working. Defrost heaters. The refrigerant charge seems to be fine. The only thing it would have stopped it would be possibly the thermostat. Now we could check some of the wiring inside of the case there and see if there's any issues with that. Maybe there's some loose wires in there but he did say that it was running. That was interesting. So did it satisfy the thermostat already? Hmm it seems a little odd. Definitely ain't the defrost clock here. I'll set that back to the correct time. Okay well the fans aren't running so that was a little odd. Something wild going on. Okay fans ain't running. This is where we're going to get the meter out and we're going to find out what's going on because unless it's in a defrost those fans should be running. So let's see if we got power on number four. Let's make sure we still have power coming into it. We do have 248. Obviously nothing coming out the back side. Gently try to open that. Let's go to N4. I have 247 volts on N4. Check it to 3. Nothing on 3. We do have it on 4. So something is keeping our fans from coming on. So our fans are going to be either this black wire or that black wire. One black wire goes to the most likely the solenoid. That was a little odd. What I should have done was check through my time delay there. That time delay might be acting up. We do not have an open circuit however we do have two volts across it which is a little odd. I'm afraid if we could get right into the pressure switch there but I'm going to take 15 screws off the Danfoss there to get to it. Let's go back in and see if those fans are not running. See either way those fans should still have stayed running. So even if that delay deal there was triggering out the compressor which is all it should protect the fans should have kept running. The fans are not running. We could be dealing with a potential time delay. It could be dealing with a termination fan delay switch. Maybe it's not cold enough for the fans to come on yet even though it obviously terminated on temperature which like we said it did in like 13 minutes. Let's see if we can get into this pressure switch here and check see what we got. I was able to get in there and check the low pressure switch. It is not open was not open and I still had power on four but you know just kick back on. We do have an interlock here that's just on the side of the contactor there. Yeah that sounds like a pump down that's what that sounds like. Let's go back in here and check this low pressure switch again because if it's pumping down because the solenoid is not getting it or whatever this is a shit location for this clock I should have mounted it over here move this over so you could actually get in here to do some work. That pressure switch is still not open something's shutting it down. Jump this out go down to here that just eliminates the time delay we just went around it which it was already on and it didn't do anything. We can watch it again now to see if it's a time delay we're just going to eliminate it. Pretty sure they did their usual solenoid right out here on the back side of it. Yep right there it is. Well I can feel I can feel the magnetism on the coil I can feel it vibrating and I've showed you this little trick before I learned off somebody else on YouTube just using your amp clamp it picks up magnetic field and it was at 14 amps which is an arbitrary number so our solenoid is open the pressure switch is not shutting it down which I find to be peculiar for whatever reason I have no idea it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen but bones switched their valves around so that you have to get to them from in here now so now you got to deal with this which luckily we didn't put the screws on it so that makes it a little easier but even when you get in here you still got this freaking panel in the way and you can't get your hands worth a crap in there. I'm not a big proponent for turning on the gauges there on the unit but never when I said the band cycle thing well I wasn't thinking this has a headmaster and they don't usually cycle their bands on these there's what's going on we're going off on high head pressure and that must not be must be another yeah there's got to be another pressure switch in there somewhere which we're going to need to fix that right there too that's touching on the top that's going to rub through so we need to fix that but we've got something going on with the fan whether it be bad fan motor capacitor whatever but that's what's going on that's why it's shutting this thing down it's going off on high head that's reason why it was warm last night and this morning so our problem's not with our time delay so let's put our time delay back the way it was let's go ahead and feel power to this thing and pop this top well like you see there that came in handy get rid of that it's pretty strong it ain't going nowhere a deep bird there sorry but it needs to be serviceable that was a dumb freaking idea all I think I can think is you're in the ghetto and people come trying to steal your refrigerator and put the freaking locks on it this sucks because you didn't even make it accessible to get your hands in there to work on it I mean with that with that piece there you'd have to take like you can't even just take a little bit off you got to take the whole panel off to get to it all right so we've got our high pressure switch here we also have a thermal switch here for high discharge gas when I spun the motor here watch what it does see that right there that left right stuff that's magnetic field that's a DC motor even though it looks like a normal one chances are the electronics took a dump these things don't hold up for nothing you have liquid injection you can see it literally comes right off the liquid line right there comes up comes into the valve body based off temperature the valve opens up dumps it right into the compressor here on the side of the shell that's where the head is at it's where all the heat is at so it tries to cool it down there that plug is starting to come out a little bit probably from shipment and everything else we got that in there I rounded this up and got it so that it's not touching anything so we should be good there on that need to bend that away from that motor because I got to pull that motor out of there as Ted would call it I have a helicopter he's sitting there watching me so put the text in to see if we can find the motor if I can avoid putting that other motor in there I will I think I've done it before it's just one of the things where what do you do you got to make it run we only got so much time before it starts to warm up well I followed the black wire and it ended up being a black and white wire that comes from the fan and it comes right down here to the bottom of the contactor right there which we had 248 on that when I was pulling these wires out you can see that there got smashed behind the clock that goes up to the low pressure switch and ties into the high pressure switch I wasn't sure which one was which so I had to cut that apart that little bundle of stuff the interlock they got there is nothing more than breaking power to the crankcase heater so that's all that is nothing fancy there at all and short of that it's about it they got both high pressure switch and the like hot gas sensor there and then low pressure switch all in series just breaking the contactor right there and you get your liquid solenoid being cut in between there so you just intercept it loopy-doop we're gonna see if we can make the 96 56 work we've got that trimmed up oh yeah thank you bone you really thought that one out didn't you now you do you know we couldn't come up this side so why wouldn't you flipped it to this side so you could have taken it out I gotta do is figure out the jigsaw puzzle and you'll get it out this uh interlink which I've like I said had a few of them die is rated for 0.69 amps I think this thing's like 0.4 that's all I got though what do we got here fifth horrors 0.48 and the other rpm which is only a single speed motor so I don't know why they even show that I think they're going off of one voltage versus the other you can do 0.66 looks like it's going to work yep it's going to have to work bud we come back and use another put another one of these pieces of trash in there I doubt it really doubt it they've had it had to probably meet a quota or some crap for efficiency and that's what you got anyhow let's uh get the scooby-doo mounted up in there and give it a bone all right let's go ahead and get this thing in there this is the I've said it before the nucleine flip bit and mention it flip bit and tools I now have a promo code for true tech tools if you use the promo code survival you'll get 8% so if you want to throw a dog a bone and you're going to buy your stuff there anyway because they're already one of the best places to get things and with those promo codes you save more than you will usually buy it anywhere else and you actually get a warranty one like a lot of the stuff you buy on say amazon the promo code is the way to go the only thing about this thing I don't like is it's not very deep but it does give you the 3 8 and 11 30 seconds so what I do is I just pull it out partially and then automatically it pulls it up so it works out that direction but you just got to pull it out all right just like I said looks like that fits we need to throw a washer on there because I do not believe those fancy ones they had will fit my motor yeah they always got to be just a skusha skusha potion a skusha toshas off you know just enough to stick it to you in the anal cavity so let's throw a washer on there a washer let's put a washer on there or a washer whichever and see if we can get this thing back in there it looks like it should probably might possibly fit kind of maybe not so let's see if we can get it in there worked out well they're on there tight but the capacitor on bottom figure out rotation here in a minute I never have been wanting to try to figure out in advance because somebody does it from the lead in some does it from the shaft in see if we can get this back in there then we'll put the fan balloon on it thank you so much here for all that extra room and it's going to fit just like that one of the other reasons why I like these key style here you can kind of get in there and it further crevices these the other keys of the handle not granted they obviously aren't near as strong as if you're using the short end of it that is something I like to use so got that mounted just got to get the power wires hooked up here so what I did is I chopped off the extra plug on the end it gives you that wider adapter plug and use that as my plug to splice onto the other wires they had there it's not long enough to reach all the way in there so much just reuse the ones you got that way if you need to change it later or if we want to put this back on the truck I can do it would still have my plug for later use if so this thing should go clockwise lead end whichever direction that the family digs into that's that's the direction it is so if you go this way and it digs into the dirt for example that's clockwise and if it goes digging into the dirt this way obviously counterclockwise at least that's what the supply house told me so anyhow we got that dear let's kick it in see what happens here blowing this direction that's good nice and quiet let's check in drill we know that white wire and the black wire was it so right there we are 0.5 so we're at the lower of the two that they rated at we're gonna be good enough 0.46 yeah it's it's borderline but I've seen it work at that before and really don't have any other options other than get that one there that didn't even last we gotta go ahead and do the p.m. on it which is cleaning the coils and checking contactors and all the things you do in a p.m. all right so that's gonna wrap that one up just as always ask a lot of questions of your customer and get as much information as you can figuring out what's going on because as you've seen everything worked at first until we dug in I noticed the fan wasn't running but I just thought it was fan cycle and I should have known generally that phone always uses the the phone always seems to use the headmaster control sometimes you'll add extras to it but for the most part mainly just headmaster control so make sure you check us out on instagram and facebook I post a lot of things on instagram until next time we'll catch you on the next one later
