 You can kind of see it, right there we go. So, yeah. That's the first time we've ever seen it do that. Are you getting water up down in there then? Yeah. All right guys, so we're back at this one with the defrost clock, so what's going on now? No longer is it freezing up. This video is brought to you in part by TrueTechTools, quality tools, essential support. All right guys, so we've got a lot of issues going on in this restaurant. I think we got some water leaking, all kinds of craziness. So let's go ahead and see what we got going on. It's pretty new to me. Well, they made the drain go up and back down again and I don't see any water in your pan down there. Should drain down, chances are they've probably dropped something. All right, so we've got a drain hose there. It kind of comes down, it loops back there, there. I'm going to blow through the hose first and then blow through that drain. We've got some gunk out. There we go, in that shit. Yep, right down in there. Now once that's done doing that, we'll go ahead and blow it out one more time. What we'll use there is just a Gallo gun there. Looks like it's about done draining. That are plugged up again. We'll blow it out one more time. The air filter's pretty clean. We usually just use a wire tie and hold it. What's going on? We're getting a lot of water and kind of see it. Right there we go. So yeah, that should help out quite a bit. These have a tendency to get crap sometimes in there but honestly, I don't see how it happened. That one's pretty well secured. So it may just be an accumulation or some sort. Either way, we're good to go. I think we just wipe that out and then it'll be fine. Set 34, let's go to 35. All right, so we've got this all cleaned up. Got the water there cleaned up. Swim back to reading, let's hit the set. Set is 35 now. That'll swing up to 39 and back down again. Hopefully it'll be fine. We just want one degree. Maybe that'll give it a little bit. Yeah, there, just kick back on. That may give it a little extra headway there. Let's see, may not make a difference. Biggest thing was drain was plugged which I'm sure will happen again. Coming out of here, I believe. Are you getting water up down in there then? Yeah. So we're gonna have to put it into a defrost then to get it to liquefy. Then we can see if we can get it to drain out. Chances are, it's probably froze. What else do you got? Was it leaking out of the bottom of the pan here? I haven't even looked at it actually. That looks like ice buildup. Okay, so it goes from that cooler right into a freezer. That's not a good idea. So what are we doing to make sure that don't freeze? What in the world? It's been installed for quite a while. So, no, it's not like this yesterday outside. How did it freeze outside? I'll show you. And it can because of the humidity being as high as it is. This gets below 32. That's the first time we've ever seen it do that. So that's the cooler then. Okay, yeah, the cooler shouldn't freeze up like that. Right, that's what we thought. The other one wasn't doing it though? No. Currently it says 12, which we're really at about three something. Cyclast is full. We're running a 15 degree evaporator, 16 degree evaporator. Let's put it into a pump down. Let's see if that's solenoid maybe is not stopping. We waited for a little bit and it has changed position. We're still running right around 18 degree evaporator. Don't feel like we're flooding back or anything. Let's go ahead and put it into a defrost. That's pretty, ooh. That's not very pleasant to turn. I wonder if by chance that's sticking. Well, obviously not because it rotated on something. No, we just told it to go into a defrost. It's not pumping down yet. It's taking a sweet time. See if it's still got power to that coil. Easy, cheap trick, done this multiple times. Can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. As you can see right there, zero amps come over to this one. Say 18, it really obviously an amperage. All it's doing is picking up the magnetic field. We're still not pumping down very quickly. It's finally dropping. Don't know if we just need new insulation. If it's a malfunction, was the TXP flooding back? I mean, I'm not real sure. There it's pretty going down pretty fast. Come on, clickity click. Wow, right off at one pound. And it's holding there. So that's the other thing. We wanna make sure that it's actually holding. I'm not sure. She said she had ice out here and she's saying that it's never seen that before. Now this insulation out here is garbage because the sun's aided up. Still holding there. Just timed off defrost. So let's go ahead and pick it back out. Man, these gears are crap. It ain't wanting to rotate. I don't know. I mean, I think it's jammed up. Okay, let's say it didn't go into defrost and it just started to freeze up. I could see that. Coil would start to freeze. Then it just dropped and dropped in temperature because you had no airflow across it. I could see that as being a possibility. As you can see right now, I'm literally, I'm about ready to strip the gears out to do it. We're gonna replace this clock. I'm gonna guesstimate that's probably what's going on. Right now, I think that's gonna be the smartest bet for that. It's right now, I'm gonna side glass this full. Clock was tracking, but if it's not rotating by hand freely, that's obviously not right. And right now it's not acting up. So it could have very easily not gone into a defrost and they are not able to see behind the evaporator to know whether or not they've seen frost behind it. So we're just gonna change the clock. I have the same clock that they've got up here. They're neat because you can do different defrost at different times, but honestly, that's usually not needed. These things here are tried and true and I have almost no problems. And these things last 10 plus years. These things here, eh, not so much. But we're gonna switch them over and it's a little cheaper. So let's go ahead and kill power. We've already pumped it down. Let's verify that we ain't gonna get shocked. Zero volts, nothing, nothing and go to ground. Ooh, 15 volts. Yeah, the problem is we've got probably 480 in the building and so we're probably getting some stray. Yeah, not getting shocked. It's stray voltage. It's an induction into it. That's where you need your low, low impedance meter. I picked this meter up kind of cheap. We're gonna go ground to a terminal there. 17 volts. We're gonna go to low impedance or low Z. Now I go to it, nothing. Watch this, I'm gonna leave it right like that. 17 volts. You can also use that to trigger GFIs. So whenever I'm in 480 volt area, the induction of the high voltage wires running in the same conduit as other wires can induce a voltage into it just like a transformer. We're gonna go ahead and just change that clock like I was playing on to, but that's a good example of low Z feature. I'll put that in there like that. This is out here in a parking lot area. So a lot of traffic comes in from semi and drive through people. There's a lot less problems with this. They not agree with it, but I'm all about less problems. All right, keep it right on. This came up. Let's go ahead and throw this into a, I'm also gonna go into its first defrost here and just look at that. And we're about ready for four o'clock anyway. And trigger. All right, let's go see what the cooler temperature is right now, cause we're up into defrost at 38. Let's check back side of this coil too. I'll look at here and keep it clean, except for when you get that on there, that's gonna have an effect on how well air flow goes through. And we're getting a little bit dirty. Definitely getting a little bit dirty there. I could use a good cleaning. It shut off at zero to three pounds. Okay, it is off. It's in defrost. More I'm thinking about it. We're just gonna go ahead and stick with the 45 minutes area that they're used to. That way it doesn't cause any nuisance to where they might have. There's something wrong also with the 3D frost. And the fact that the coil's actually not frozen kind of makes me not want to go any longer and just stir up potential calls for no good reason. Looks like we're set about 35 there on the temperature. That coil, the more I look at it, it looks like they've got something's eating into the aluminum coil. It's actually eating it. I never noticed that from hamburger and sausage type meat, but maybe sausage has got some weird fat to it. It's causing a problem. I didn't move that out from underneath there. It is covered up, but I didn't want to brush that off with that meat underneath there. Still a little surprised by this drain line that comes across and goes into that freezer. It's got to have heat tape on the other side, but usually you bring the freezer into the cooler and drain it out. Or most of the time we'll go right outside wall, but I think this is a brick building. Wait a minute here. So the insulation goes straight up. Yeah, so it goes right out. So the line set wouldn't be causing dripage all the way over here. I'm confused. I am not real sure. I mean, our coils are clean. The clock's definitely wrong, so let's try that first. Let's go look at this cooler. Got a lot of when you got 50 things wrong. They say they're keeping these coils clean, which is good. This is one of the weird ones that they put a solenoid on it. You've got the drain coming down right back here and I got a drip. So when you have no water down here in the drain pan, you're obviously not going to defrost very often. And as warm as it is, it should have been able to do it. Okay, these doors are all whopper-jalled. That's not gonna help it not freeze up. Need new door seals. That's garbage. That will get you sighted by the health department. Need at least one new door seal and there's the defrost clock right there. Click by click. Yeah, I replaced this clock or the thermostat. I forget when. There we go. So it just completely stops. To me, it looks like the pan has been having problems defrosting. I would say a lot of this could be from the extra moisture that's gonna be from the seal being ripped and then the fact that the drain is probably plugged. So let's run for a little bit and see if we can blow it out. Well, let's have the defrost and see if we can get this drain line apart and blow it out. There's right here the drain heater and the solenoid that's coming through here now. You see the drain heater right there? That feels warm to me. So that's a good thing. I think it's working. Now we'll go ahead and we'll blast Samaritan one and we'll blast Samaritan the other. You can see a little bit of clump here. Let's go ahead and blow it out. It could be having issues with defrosting if not working too or we could have a heater now. And a little bit of dripping. That's a good sign. So yeah, there are now a nice screen. So we know we're draining now. We'll go ahead and hook it back up. That's the way it was for the grid walling. I would have been better off if it had the drain straight down, but I would have put it in the way and changed the way it got screwed with and stuff like that. Had to use the pliers there to force it up in there so the little heater is down and down in there. This should fill up, which it already is. You can see the water right there at the top. Okay, it's draining. That means the defrost heaters are working and the drain's clear. All right, use some hyper cleaner here on this. Got a pan down here to catch it. Non-toxic, so we don't have to worry about it creating any major issues, but that's going to get that nasty grease off there that they've got floating around here. It just shut off from the defrost. I've got some water here and the sprayer. Gonna put that in and plug this thing. Put this right here. We'll get this thing rinsed out here real quick with some hot water. Looks like we got our pretty dove on it. There's a couple stains in there, but grease never wants to come out. You can see the water coming out. It's clean. We got the fan blade all cleaned up. All the crap's off of it to the most part. A couple little spots here and there. We're gonna try this. See how it goes and it kind of goes from there. Break that up and clean that out. But they really need to open it up and drain it out. That's all I'm gonna tell them to do. They just need to open it up tonight, leave it open, doors open and completely clean this out in the morning and then put the food back in it. Really, like I said, we're gonna order that gasket and that's gonna wrap that up. We'll come back and we'll double check things when I come back and we'll see if that took care of it and if it did, great. And if not, we'll investigate further. All right guys, so we're back at this one with the defrost clock. So what's going on now? No longer is it freezing up. So the defrost clock must have taken care of the line set but they were complaining that the freezer here was kicking on and off and one of the other employees at one of the other shops over there said they heard it acting funny. So check the clock or check the pressure switch. It's a little out of whack. So went ahead and adjusted my cut-in first. Around here, we usually go for about 20 to 23-ish. Went ahead and threw it in defrost, pulling 13 amps there with the heater and the compressor both running. Contact here's a little bit pitted. I hate to go through and start changing a bunch of stuff. I never have liked it when everyone likes to wait until like 16 things are broke because they don't wanna pay a trip out. They just pile on the work. So you gotta focus on multiple things at one time. And so you gotta like balance that with how many things you need to tell them about just because it's like you feel like you're taking them to the cleaners like some of these sales guys do. Right now it's off and right at about three, four pounds. Looks like my time clock here is running just fine on it. I mean, that's definitely lower than it needs to be. It's gonna, you know, never get that low to cut in. Cut in's gonna be somewhere around 25 areas. So you're like 60, we could go up a little higher. I don't know if I'm really too horribly worried about it cause I mean it's pumping down pretty easy. That's a lot faster than the other one did. You can just tell the valves are probably taking a dump. Now if you had any residual when you leak by that would cause it to come back up right away and then trip out. Sorry about that wind noise there. We got the wind sock on there now. So it's holding there. I'm not horribly worried about that. What I'm gonna do now is we're gonna pour some water in the drain line. I had already vacuumed the drain line out to see if we could get any plugs out. I think what's happening, I didn't notice or didn't pay close enough attention cause you really gotta decipher what people are trying to tell you. If you don't ask the right questions, you're not, you're gonna assume things and it's not what they're wanting you to, they're not what they're trying to tell you. So you've gotta, you gotta question them really, really good and ask multiple qualifying questions. That way you're on the right path and that's my fault for not doing that. So let's go inside and pour some water in that drain. I put the freezer into a defrost. That way it's back on time and that it will help warm up the drain a little bit more cause it's gonna be quite, you know, blowing the cold air on it. Not that it really should make much of a difference. All right, so we got us some really hot water here. Let's go in there and see what we can do with this. The tee right here is so they could run the heat tape down through the center. So the heat tape goes this direction and goes that direction. You can see that thing red on the thermal imager just fine. I don't wanna pour too much water in there just because I don't want it to overfill. I'm gonna go in there like this, I'm gonna hook it and pour it in. That way it doesn't spill over the edge and everything else. Yep, there it is. It's leaking down there. See just what little water I poured in there it's already leaking. Probably gotta build up a crap in there. That's what sucks when they do it like this. And they went ahead and screwed that on there. So that's not gonna be very good. So there's a look. Just kind of sitting and getting leftovers. Okay, I'm just gonna pound it down in it. I did not glue it. I could put a cap over it right now. I'm going to see if I can cut that over there. I got a union right there. You can see the drain line looks about half nasty and plugged up. It really probably needs to come down and you need a new drain line. I put that so the black O-ring will show that direction. That way you'll see if you lose it or not. I don't know if I'm gonna leave this on there so I'm afraid it may not drain well with it on. But for right now it's good enough so I can get this thing blown out. And it's already out of defrost. Okay, we've got that right there. What they do is they run the drain heater down through that T right there and it goes on out. Well, you've got another T right there. And that very likely could blow stuff all over the place. To me it's just a crap design. I should have never ran it that way, my opinion. Wasn't a whole lot of other ways to do it. Normally we'd just go out the back wall. There really is no other way than to have came out through here and drain out over there, which would have been probably the smartest thing to do. Just came out, but it would have been a floor drain over there. And there's not, so what do you do? Wow, look at that nasty crap. It did blow some up through here. Luckily it's just on the back wall. Let's go ahead and pour some water in and see what we got. I suppose what we could do, blast the other direction too, but like I said, I had already had the vacuum cleaner on it first. We're gonna give it the whole pot. One thing that means it's probably piling into the freezer. All right, we're gonna go ahead and try hitting it from the other direction. Look at that, lucky lucky. I'd say we got her loose. What'll happen again? I guarantee it will. Is it working for now? Yeah, I was gonna flush the 11P out of it. All right, just pour a bottle or another one of those through there. Let's watch this again. We're gonna get nothing inside these boxes. It just mainly splattered on that wall. So it just looks bad back here. And I don't wanna leave it like that and have somebody call in on you if you. Gotta be warm if you wanna melt that stinking stuff off. Got her all cleaned up, threw away the box, put it in that bowl there. Everything's cleaned up off the wall and stuff, so it's one of them things, I mean, should've probably thrown a rag over top of it, my screw up, but I had to get this stupid thing open. I don't know what else you could've done. That's probably gonna wrap this one up. I'm still waiting for the door seals on the reaching freezer yet, but short of that, that's about it. So good to go, guys. Enjoy the video and if you wanna see more like it, give it a thumb. Till next time, we'll see you on the next one later.
