 Yeah, this here if you need to disconnect you just unhook those you're on me. I'm sure this one's probably pretty clean, too Yeah, it looks good Sticker down in there somehow. This is kind of blast water everywhere. I'm sure of it There's the filter this video is brought to you in part by TrueTech tools quality tools essential support All right You guys ready for a little bonus footage here. Let's take a look at this and see how this thing goes We're here for an air conditioning call. Yeah trucks a mess. It's leaking water. It's got a plug drain line. I Think you're gonna enjoy this So we're gonna go ahead and grab some nitrogen And a hose or we get this thing blown out and I think we're gonna need to clean the condenser a few other things It's probably one of the nicer installs that I've seen So I think you're gonna enjoy this. This is the drain line coming out right here Comes across and dips down which can cause a double trap Which it really ain't trapped up there Comes down to here We've got a little drippage down there So this is one of the poor condensers It feels really super hot on the liquid line. It's cranking some heat out here Yeah, it's pretty poor partially plugged off there Yeah, it's pretty matted So we'll probably need to wash these out. That must be the cooler over there chances are there Oh, wow, look at that disconnect box That's fine. That's just that clear clear coating. That's that's perfectly fine Yeah, this here if you need to disconnect you just unhook those and Covers or move to make it a little easier. I'd say that's probably why that one there don't run that one's turned off So I'd say it probably went bad. Well, might as well look at the condenser coil over here I mean, I'm sure this one's probably pretty clean too Yeah, it looks good we have to use either a bucket And wash this out with bucket and my little porta blaster or something now It does have a cap there, but I think it's open on top. I can't tell Yeah, I got a little bit of Water there so the bottom one there is what's running you see the flex duck Arona It's not running on top. It's not must not be no good Sure, curious stuff without tripping and busting light bulbs. Yeah, I took a cover off Okay, we're gonna do and see if we can blow out this Drain right through there. That's why I brought the regular hose here so my little blow gun Yeah, of course, they always got to put a line right in the way the block had a drain hole That open Sticker down in there somehow This is kind of blast water everywhere. I'm sure of it. They put that stinking elbow right in the way There we go. Oh, yeah, there we go gutter in there That's gonna make a mess That was great There it goes you got nasty Crap here in the pan Something dig some of that out with our finger You may just take the hose and blast at this direction see if we can blow it out that is That is pretty pretty gruesome Feels like the air flow is coming through pretty good. Like I said that baby is running really warm Cold suction, but I'm afraid when we clean this it's gonna possibly be low on charge because the head pressure is gonna drop so our suction but my hand appeared on last time and kind of fell through that when I push myself up They've got A union right there A union right there See if I can blast some of that crap out. I don't want it to plug up later That worked out pretty good I would blow that all off too over at it That'll work for now. There's no trap. It's a positive pressure on the coil Today's Friday goes. I'm having fun So don't think I'd ever complain about something like this. This to me is just awesome If we can make this old turd run again Without making a mess and boy, we just accomplished something great in life Not sure where the air filter's at I'm sure it's got one somewhere Now let's see if we can go downstairs and clean that condensing unit out There's the filter There we go I'm gonna leave these down that way somebody Hopefully will put a new filter in there because I don't carry those on my truck So we've got a place here where we can get the water out. So we got This right here. We'll hook a adapter onto it. It's got decent flow. So it should be pretty good And we go right off the outside door, which is great Perfect it gets us right out here too is that's perfect So let's go ahead and get the hose out and get some work done here I carry some 50 footers and my really good rubber hose, which is 75 foot and then I've got two of these nozzles because I lost one and then I found it does not appear that anything leaked out When I blew it out out here Probably grab a little piece of strap and probably could lift this up a little bit Very likely this could be Causing it to gum up. That's a big old trap. So here's the adapter I switched mine to an o-ring That tends to keep it from leaking I lost the rubber one There we go Yeah, that's all packed full of crap too Okay I'll have to keep this thing from running. We can yank the low voltage Wow the low voltage plug air off or we probably just undo one of these might be easiest safest way And we don't have to screw at the breaker and try to find that I should probably turn into Fiendango trying to find it we're gonna knock it all off and then we'll start spraying it from the inside out This thing's gonna run like a new champion Some people feel like you need to take this all apart if you knock it off from the outside Then spray it from the inside out. You don't need to do all that Looks like you're doing a great job. But really it's a waste of time Then I'll usually shoot it sideways and knock it off and then I'll come like I said come back through it So we're just gonna knock it off And I'm not hitting it hard enough. It's been in the coils over or anything like that See it chunks coming out I guess this must be she must be renting this So I have a feeling the landlord was not wanting to take care of it So it sounds like it's been going on for a while. So the first run in the store Is that no fault here? Oh man, check that out It's like WWF or something. Oh WWE. There you go Look at that Either really easy to clean which is kind of nice because there's only one coil thick Most important thing you can do as a homeowner is wash out your coil It's right here's half your problems Now this chunks aren't coming out Because we knocked them all off first Okay, one thing I always like to see is that reversible plug Tape together that way it doesn't unplug itself one way to prevent a possible return call So we'll go ahead and get that done doesn't take a lot Figure it didn't come apart on its own begin with but a little bit of extra here It's not going to hurt So we've got that there Now I'm gonna go ahead and tape a little bit of this electrical together and then we'll wire tie it to the top Obviously getting it replaced probably it's not in the cards Tape will hold up longer than what wire ties will So what I used to do is always tape it and then maybe put a wire tie around it I don't have condo or anything like that in my truck to Do it fancy like Tape will protect it from the UV light a little bit better than nothing at all And that'll help keep it from falling down in the fan Sometimes you just got to make do with what you've got to work with May not agree with that but Not everybody lives in Beverly Hills and that's crap loads of money to buy brand new units I know the sales technicians out there don't realize that contactor a little dirty I'm not going to go for Making everything perfect just because You're going to get asked. Why'd you do this? Why'd you do that? I can just feel it Just feel it If the compressor's pulling high amps, whatever the case, what are you going to do about it? Hey, we got our hook back up Trick you can do is you can actually use your screwdriver hold the contactor and put the wires together that way it doesn't wrap it cycle It's dangerous, but you need to be careful to do it that way. This does have a manual reset limit down there So obviously the fan hasn't stopped It's a newer looking fan obviously because it was replaced Blowing some nice cool air for right now. Hopefully that warms up here in a second Strapped up there tap conduct bad boy onto the wall. It's not coming down and it still slopes So as it's coming down it Goes on down it'll slope non-stop so you've got almost two bricks so probably eight inches six inches of drop between here and there So that's better than what it was air coming out now is hot and Suction is still cold So chances are we're probably fine. All right, so we got our little green hose out there He's always pulled it up really nice And knock this all off It's gonna help it breathe now Like I said, this can cause artificial head pressure so if the unit was low in charge You may have just created a problem now green it I shouldn't say you created a problem. You just made a problem evident and now they may blame you for it So if you're gonna do this Even though you're trying to do something good for the customer Make sure the side glass and stuff's full If not, you better let them know. Hey, I washed that off while I was here And I noticed this needs to be done blank blank Uh, would you like to handle that now and then that way you can mark that on your ticket? Uh, seen this did this Customer chose not to do it That way you're not blamed for it later Now all we're doing right now is knocking the Coating off the outside and we'll work our way down through it in a minute Like I said, I like to try to keep it dry as possible So when it hits it, it just knocks it right off hit it with a light coating of water It'll just make it tacky and it'll stick there And then it doesn't let go and that kind of takes a lot longer to do it. This thing is so matted. Oh my goodness It's coming through I didn't ask for permission. So we're just going to do a courtesy courtesy flush here I think we're pretty busy today. It's been a hot week for us And it's been really crazy I'm just trying to prevent potential more calls later On something that was preventable while you were here No, it seems like a talk a lot But you know we're sitting here just me and you and you're not saying nothing So since you're not talking I've got to keep talking. I'm just telling you what works good for me You get something out of it great. If you don't I'll refund your money back Always make sure that works when you're done There you go. One of the things I use for my Hose here makes it a little easier to keep it all together Got a wire tied there on there That helps keep it all nice and tightly wound up just cheap ones from Lowe's Wrap it. It's called Yeah, this one here is a husky So that's my bigger one The uni strut on the back door not only to hang things on it But also to make it a little harder for somebody to reach through and get into the truck Which I've got a paging alarm and all that on there Get your crap ripped off once good enough We're running an 80 pound suction 48 degrees We've got a quick measurement on the suction and suction temperature will never super heat but When I see it's all fine been working biggest thing was you're leaking water Temperature's dropping on that Got the clamp right there So we had 48 before there's 57 56 chances are somebody may have overcharged it just to make up for a dirty coil About eight degrees nine degrees super heat and as hot as that store is it's probably about right All right. All right. I'm good here We're not going For the gold but we did enough to get her more than just fixing the leak. There's no problems. Just fixing the leak We ended up washing out the coil because we felt the liquid line was hot We just gained capacity big time by Doing that Fucking cooler over there, which is running now See how that looks Psy glass is full Yep nice and full Not why I'm here so I'm not digging into it There we go All right a little bit warm out there guys to sum it up Basically we had a we had a water leak on the floor the problem was we decided to fix the water leak Then we went ahead and looked into the system because we used the hand touch method Hand touch method is nothing more than going through with your hands and touching the components of the refrigeration system Checking the liquid line doesn't feel abnormally hot. Is it much above body temperature? Is it really hot? You know, is it cool? What's the suction like? Is it really ice cold? Beer can cold? Is it just lukewarm? Is it warm? Is the compressor running super hot? Condenser fan motor does it feel hot, you know as if you're the blower motor all those sort of things That you can do without even getting your tools out or your gauges out Once you train your hand to be able to feel these things You can go through and and self diagnose a lot of the problems by just touching and feeling If you've watched a lot of my videos in the beginning, I'll sit there and touch different parts of the units Sometimes I call it out what I'm doing other times. I'm just waiting to see if somebody actually picks up on it For guys that's been doing it for years and years. They know that's nothing new That's just common sense. That was something they used to teach in the heat pump classes So anyhow, that's how we end up getting led into going and looking at the condenser unit You know, we fixed the drain line that was hanging with sagging which is going to make a trap which then plugs up More likely with that trapeze type Hoopy log going on there Went ahead and did them a service by washing out the condenser unit making sure that that's clean making sure the side glass is cool clean Uh, making sure the side glass is clear And you know, I'm not talking about going through and doing full service because they didn't ask for that And now if you wanted to go ask i'm fine, but if you're not, you know, if you're not busy But if you're busy, you ain't got time for all that So, you know, originally the reason why I made these videos was to try to help them in you guys Now it's a lot just more for entertainment for other people that just enjoy watching me work And you know and just pure satisfaction of knowing that maybe I made a difference and that's the reason why I do it So I really appreciate you guys subscribing I know that we've had quite a few over the last several months. We hit the 30 000 mark seem to hit 31 000 Which is really awesome, especially bands. I got the slow start that I got and you know, that's a long story So so I just want to thank you guys. I want to thank you for watching it I want to thank you for the thumbs up. I love the interaction. I love hearing back from you guys It means a lot and because I mean your time is where you know I'm doing this on a saturday night sunday night when I'd rather be out playing having some fun since I worked all week Here I am rehashing what I've already done through the week And you know, it's great to see the payoff to see the higher View numbers and things like that makes a huge difference. So That being said guys, I hope you enjoyed it till next time. We'll catch you on the next one later
