 This video is brought to you in part by TrueTechTools. Quality tools, essential support. If you watched my video from a week or two ago it was on a cool pack unit that was down and you've seen how well I talked about it, well guess what we're back at the same location on another unit that's not working correctly. This is a different cooler as you can see this is a true uh cake cooler, beer cooler, wine cooler whatever you want to call it. Not good, huh? So let's do exactly the same thing we did the last time. Let's go up here make sure this coil is not packed full of crud and see where our thermostats at. So it looks like they're 53, the green light is on. Coil don't look too bad. Obviously fans are running so let's go up on the roof and see if it's uh something similar or not. Well at least it's some really crappy looking weather out here today. That unit right there is the one I worked on the last time. You can see where our little tubes and all of our little happiness and it's actually labeled now that's uh still working. So let's go over here and look at this other unit and see what we can find out. Pressure's not starting. Well let's check start components. So just coming down here at the top of the contactor we've got 216 going between in and four which in doesn't really stand for neutral because these are obviously 230 volt. We've got power coming into it. Nothing was coming out on three. Clock is happy. So let's see what we got down here for power on the coil of the contactor. See if we got back contactor. No coil voltage. So the coil is fine. Now the only thing it would stop it would be our safety switches. So far as contactor what I'll usually do is find the contactor. There it is right there. Follow it back. Goes into a high pressure control. Low pressure control. So there's your low pressure control uh up down. Turn around. Boom low pressure control. So yep well what do we can do? Let's go ahead and see if we can get our gauge on there. See what the suction is. We may have a solenoid issue. Solenoid could be shut. So let's we'll check suction and we'll check discharge. See if uh discharge actually has pressure there that'll tell us if the uh refrigerant's actually in there or if we're empty or not. If you remember at a heck of a time getting in there the yellow jacket fits a little bit better. Got zero psi on it so that's not good. This hunk of hunk of clunk is 2016. Let's go ahead and see if we got anything on the high side. That's going to tell us whether we're flat or not. Guess what? We have a catastrophic leak of some sort. How'd that happen? Where's that catastrophic leak at? Because here's the thing. We're before the solenoid. The solenoid's on the inside. We're checking it coming off of the receiver so we've got an issue bud. We've got an issue. Hopefully this crappy weather don't break on us anytime soon. No guarantees on that though. Well we're gonna have to grab some nitrogen. Probably give it a squirt and see what's going on. Who knows. When we add pressure to it though it's going to kick on. We don't really want to be pumping nitrogen. I'd love to turn it off but these switches here obviously let loose. They ain't working very good so we're gonna have to open that up so we can turn it off. Okay and all that does it just flips up and down so they either probably didn't get installed correctly. Who knows but if you put it back on now there we go. It turns it off. Probably just need to bend that outwards a little bit. Power went off so it'll keep us from running. It's a good Hubble switch. Just this thing here's got some problems. Probably probably had that insulation pinned underneath there possibly hard to say. All right so this time I brought up the yellow jacket hoses. They fit a little bit better so let's go ahead and pressurize maybe just the high side first and see if we drop down real quick. There we go. Not hearing anything yet. See if it starts to drop right away. We've got to have a pretty good size leak for this stupid thing to leak that fast and with the pressure switch. All right well let's go ahead and just juicer up and uh kind of see where we can get it at. Three tech tools now stock yellow jacket hoses and stuff so I'll probably be getting a set of those. These right here are my favorites. They're kind of expensive but I've always liked these ones the best. We'll get the old spray out and see if we can find this thing. It's got to be a big leak. Got about 175 160 ish area on it. Spray all these things that are most common. Your filter dryer and your little pressure switches and all that and the caps and all that. Nothing there. I am going to say it's probably downstairs. It's where majority of all the leaks are at anyway. Usually in the evaporator coil or something vibrating down there. So let's go down there. I'm going to set my bag underneath this eave here. You can tell it's a little drier. I know it's a good chance it may start raining. Last thing I want is my stuff getting all soaked. Well did I call it? I can hear it and mine partially death. Yep right in there. Let's take a peek. There it is. There it is. Look at that blow to hole right through it. That looks like an electrical shock short. Probably all these dangly wires that they half-ass laid in here. We can just lay a bead across that. Yeah they let all these wires just dangle in here. What do you expect is going to happen? Yep. Yep. Always in leery about when people do this kind of stuff. You can see where it looks like it's been around. Okay so we got the door back on. Like that. You can see right there is where I put it at. Now the question is, is that on the load side? Yep it was on the load side. So did it damage the thermostat? Guess we'll find out. Let's go ahead and prepare that little piece there with the state on there. I've been probably all right. That's probably not the greatest setup they had right there huh. This would have shut off before it went to a negative. I don't feel like jacking around with filter dryers. One of those whistlers. Okay we got a blue crimp connector on there and then we taped this together so that it will help protect it as it's up against that. Honestly we probably could bend this away from it because if you look at how that lines up, if you move the solenoid that really wasn't sized very well out of the way, that kind of goes right there. So we could just move this over. I don't know. Once again just like their suction line on the compressor that I talked about, they put this header here kind of like in the same way. So yeah it's kind of in the way. Might be able to bend it over just a touch but either way I gotta go up there and relieve the pressure on it and then we'll go ahead and brace that shut. All right I was able to bend this, rotate it here and here which keeps most of that out of the way. That is going to move it over quite a bit now. It will not hit it so we should be good there. I'll probably go ahead and tape some of these wires all together just to keep them in a nice tight bundle less likely to eat into it. It's starting to rain again so I'm gonna use that as my excuse not to change filter dryer. Normally you want to change it every time. It's claiming that because the pressure switch would have shut it down it would not have drawn it into a negative is why I'm not as worried about it. Now keep in mind that refrigerant leaked into this room and probably didn't go too far. So we're opening up the door and letting it air out just a little bit and then we'll go ahead and get the torch ready to go and get this thing braced up. Okay got her a little clean. We'll shoot right around that. Burn that sticker off. Went right over top of it. Nice clean weld. That's not gonna go anywhere. All right so we've got that wire tied to there. No more shaky shaky. We've got another wire tie here. No shaky shaky there. Tape it, taped it. It's not because I just covered up the the break. I just am keeping it away from any vibration. Now I'm not taping obviously this sensor in place because chances are this control might be bad. Well you know it didn't blow the breakers. I mean who knows. So we might have been underneath our maximums. It may stick on now. Who knows. So let's go ahead and get this thing together and get up there and back this thing down. Okay we was able to bend those prongs out and now it works. Look at that. You got green light. You don't have green light. You got green light again. So we got it on that way since we're in a vacuum. We're able to get hold on both sides in addition to what we're going through. We're just breaking all the rules here guys. Honestly did on the last one. This weather sucks. I mean it's been raining. Okay so we started dumping liquid in. We got about 12 ounces whatever. Suction's starting to slowly come up. So we are leaping through. I mean solenoid is calling. This holds supposedly nine or six ounces. We may just have enough. This bottle only weighed 13 total. Probably not looking too happy. Just kicked on. Shut off liquid. Start adding on suction slowly. This thing sucked in. You can tell I'm not using my usual testive setup at the old CPS. So I just went in there and checked in between there because I couldn't see daylight very well through this. So we're going to blast this thing out with the nitrogen I have left here. You can look in there. You can tell it's eight ounces. Probably solid because higher end of suction anyway. It comes in about 25 degrees. That's why I don't really like analog all that great. Went and grabbed another bottle. Got the extra 10 ounces in there because we ran out I think right at six. Run a little higher head pressure especially for a cold out here as it is. 225 so we're running a 95 almost 100 degrees so it's 54 degrees out right now. So 64, 74, 84, 94, 104. Yeah our head pressure is a little high. Let's see if we can blow that out a little bit. Got the rule breaker here. Obviously a regulator is going to slow it down tremendously. Not safe really but you know. YouTube showed me how to do it so I know it has to be okay. I always use it with a hose. It doesn't have an end on it the way you're not tempted to be stupid but we'll actually get crap out of this coil now. Of course you know it would be logical to put hoses up here. Brain new buildings. No hose bibs. Nope. Let's hit it. Here's what we got a little bit out. Let's see if we can see through this thing now. This is from the other side where it's a little darker. Yeah you can see we got some crap out of it. It's so powerful that you can literally bend over the fins. Yep you won't get that with a regulator but like I said you gotta be stupid careful. I mean I even screwed up the fins a little bit here. One little spot there and there so you know it'll obviously straighten it back out not a big deal but the head pressure should have dropped quite a bit. Not even it looks like we're on about 175. Imagine that. That's why you can't trust a dirty coil. Can't charge these things with dirty coils. It's artificial head pressure. Artificial head pressure and that control is not shutting off at even 80 degrees. So once again why I don't like these controls but if I was to go through and fix everything I don't like we'd have a new store. So that should probably put us about where we need to be at. Yeah it looks a little yellowish but watch out for a little bit see how it does. So when we finally went solid we were at seven pounds and then so we are at eight pounds ten ounces. That is not very accurate down there. Seven pounds. It's off by about a pound and a half. That's probably convincing to our domain. It says it's good for 50 foot. Not feeling it. Feeling more accurate now. Getting pretty solid and pressure still looking good about 175 on 80 ish suction. Running right around 20 degrees 22 degrees 20 20 degrees somewhere up on board. Don't forget that coolant was pretty warm. So we're under a heavy load. All that beer all that liquid lots of math cooled down. It looks like it's not raining now it's kind of backed off a little bit. Every time you're supposed to go every time you go up in the system you're supposed to replace the prior and when you're making these videos you know you're going to be scrutinized. So yeah so I was able to lower all that right down with the hook and like I said this is the one I showed you last time I was here. You basically pull up on the one which allows it to trip and release and the other one just lifts it up and you want to use a heavier turnbuckle there or whatever. That way it's like the wind doesn't blow it around as much but that made it a lot easier to get the stuff on the ground. Oh that looks a little bit better. Not bad for how long it's been running. Okay now what we've got to make sure of here is that this thermostat works. Let's go up here and see if we can turn it down off at 29 on at 37. All right let me do some tweaking. All right so I went in there and changed temperature to 40 something and it shut off so now we're going to switch it back to 29. That's where they had it at. I'm not going to screw with it. 29 of me on 37 actually. Okay here we go. So remember how this got here last time I didn't really know what I was doing. So off temperature is going to be 29 on. It's going to be 37. Can't come a swing I'll tell you. Whatever. So yeah they're just shutting it down nice and tight. But that's back to it and that uh the solenoid slam shut. All right guys so we're going to wrap this thing up here. You know normally I would say you need to replace the filter dryer. The weather was unpredictable. I didn't know if it was going to rain or what was going on so it should have been done but like I said with that little hole up there it's when the unit shut off it would have went to neutral pressure zero. No nothing pushing into it so in theory it should have stayed dry. That's my theory you know yeah it should have been replaced but I squeezed this call in on the front of the other one that I needed to do beforehand so I really don't have all day to screw around with this one and the sight glass kind of tells us where we're at. Yeah as it is accurate as all this other stuff did I pull the micro engage did I get out the big blue hose is what we already talked about why the straighter core removal tool doesn't fit for squad in there and there's all kinds of things you could do and I could spend probably five hours six hours here if I wanted to do things you know perfect to the tee but we went in and nailed it out fast and easy. We made sure that the condenser coils clean make sure the sight glass is full make sure it was green make sure we added the winter charge to it by adding the extra 10 to 15 percent. Verified the thermostat wasn't damaged when it shorted into the copper wire made a made adjustments so the wire wouldn't actually trip in it made adjustments to the wire so that it wouldn't happen again that's about all you can do you know you can only foresee so many things so I appreciate you guys watching it I'm gonna call this week not a lot of exciting things going on once again it's a Friday and I hadn't recorded nothing all week you know until summer starts to actually hit not a lot's going on so I appreciate you guys subscribing and following and sharing and comments and all that stuff so I hope you guys have a great weekend till next time we'll catch you on the next one later
