 Alright guys, we got to say walking cooler and freezer that's not running brand new customer never been here before But before we get started if you guys haven't subscribed to the channel, please consider doing so Don't forget to give it a thumbs up if you like it if you don't make sure you'd leave me a detailed message Just why you didn't so let's go ahead and get started all right, so I went inside and looked at it and talked to the customer I've never been here before and basically said the freezer wasn't running but he had previously opened up the freezer door to let the Cooler fall out the cooler is froze up So he said his freezer wasn't working But judging from what I'm seeing here the freezer is in defrost from what I was looking at Says defrost freezer and it looks like it is in defrost Set for about 40 minutes no termination hooked up. So It's to me like it's probably just doing its thing. He had bad luck. It just happened to hit defrost at the time it Let me let's have any issues with this cooler So check that here in a second That's just waiting for a place to rub out look at that So Usually down here and then the cooler it needs it needs defrosted. I don't know That's great. So we got a fan in here Interesting so we got here cooler defrost Oh, look at this fancy clock. Oh Yeah, I've never seen this one before No pump down either just shut it off. There we go. That's great Not good Okay, so it looks like we've got some new stuff here This must be a fairly newer to them because it looks like they've went through and put the instructions there But that thing completely kills the system and shuts her off I don't know if you look at the inside. You'll see that it's got It's got some issues I can tell already this clock if that's 15 minutes per Ordeal there. That's nowhere near long enough for a timed off defrost Pump down solenoid on this thing. It would sure be nice And I've seen it without it, but Definitely ain't good on it I must leak so they've got a little shield there for that There is a solenoid to be on the inside. Let's go back in there and take a look in there All right, so we got a little bit older unit here The frosts pretty doggone quick, which I'm really surprised Just a place to rub out Insulated And so we've got All there, which we're running about normal temperatures That goes down there to the end which I don't see any solenoid valves I wonder if they're running that all the way back To the contactor and just shutting it off of the contactor. Okay, here's the freezer It's got Some defrost issues obviously it Probably started to freeze up pretty good when they brought in that warm air I don't know how long it's been going on. I have to ask them And they've had a wire of the defroster heater elements on with wire Sure control back there. No cover on it. It's high voltage This one actually has a solenoid valve. Look at that. No Romex connector just run that Romex wire right through there All right, so I got this other side off And I'm seeing Two wires go to the fans These other two come in Love top and loop down back to the compressor I bet you but It's hard to see if that's I've got two extra wires. I was hoping this thing didn't shut the fans off on it when the thermostat was happy Hodge podge wiring. All right, so we're back out here It's doing its three cycles before it starts They said it's been happening for a while From what I'm seeing it doesn't look like it has any type of Pump down solenoid or anything like that between that and the short defrost and all the other stuff I Can only imagine promising so far Compressed oil we got here You got P.O.E. oil some hoping This is 134A now Since I got the P.O.E. oil in there Hopefully got one shot in the freezer. That's Placement for that this there's just so many things. I mean if I was to fix everything I see wrong here They think I was taking advantage of them I'm gonna have to just like get it going first and then just let them know look you've got all kinds of issues All right, at least we can verify that it is an R12 TX-D I wiretied that to there. I'll keep it from shaking This really needs to be insulated. All right, so I turned that up. I wanted to see what it what it does verify the fans do stay on Go outside and see if it's off outside All right So the big thing here is I talked to the owner told him what all I want to do Because I don't want them to think that we're trying to just sell them a bill of sale here This came on about 45. I mean we could have a thermostat sticking on And as slow as this thing is to get it where you want it at. I mean We're gonna we're gonna run it for a bit. I almost set it Up here right about 38 area and we'll see whether or not it's accurate. This should start cooling down now We're gonna insulate this Like I said, the coil looks clean and clear. I could probably make this thing loop Through the con do it in back and we can put a solenoid back at the unit because we're only probably 30 foot away from it And then we could pump it down as long as that has pumped on solenoid in it Freezers been down for a while was what he said So it sounds to me like it might be stuck in defrost because like as I mentioned That clock has not moved since I marked it and uh kind of I can't tell if uh God only knows what's behind this door number one But yeah, they're they're interested in even getting a quote on just replacing it It's looks like it's still melting. I hate rushing it out of defrost. I'm gonna go out and make sure this thing's got power It's got issues So we'll get it figured out biggest thing was just talking to the customer and letting them know why and what you're wanting to do and let them make their decision and then you just Note what you've recommended and and then uh kind of go from there This looks like it's set for a 10 degree temperature with the 10 degree swing So they're holding 10 to zero. That's not good. It's not even the right thermostat I suppose you could do zero. Yeah, you could do zero on that And then it would go down to negative 10 so they really need to appreciate lower But I have a feeling that they're having a hard time hitting temperature But they're peas here or whatever that is. It's frozen. So it's been working It sounds like they wasn't having too many issues prior to you can Kind of tell that the food's still frozen. All right, so we just checked our clock Just checking over it. We have no power to it So we ever lost a fuse or something their solution or whoever's been working on it prior to Has been to cycle the power off Because this thing has been tripping probably the high pressure limit Because there's no airflow in here and uh Foil is clean But they need to get this air out of here. I mean otherwise it's just recirculating on itself It's just uh Not good. I mean you got this one here kicking it right out going down to this one if you're not getting this air out of here This disconnect box here It's been Burned up on the left-hand side. I hope the power coming in So it goes up that time do it some breaker box somewhere back here in fact, I hope So you can go find it All right checking out the ground. I didn't get anything. So at least we don't have any dead short right away, but I can go ahead and Let's see what we got going on Oh boy freezer a freezer looks like two I wonder if it's a different freezer Oh the freezer looks like they might have I wonder if they got Oh, that felt weird I don't care for that. Oh boy You can't you can't do that. Let's go out there and see if it's running It was tripped It'd probably be nice that was in a uh Okay, so it's pumping down Got the heaters. I bet they got the heaters tied in with it. So It's all being pebbled off the breaker at the same time So it could have been overloaded or it could be some of this Scary looking stuff here May have missed this but these fans are running backwards Watch which way they go So they're running in the wrong direction. They're back handing the air into the condenser Try to go ahead and let this pump down the amperage up here is 12 and 17 So we gotta go check the breakers to see what they're rated at Looks like 10 gauge wire. So Looks like we got capacity for it. Just I don't know the breaker is and with them not being truly three phase breaker There shall be one big Break at one time It's just wow so many things See that Should be going that way pulling there Same thing here Equally did both wrong All right. So this green wire, which is a power wire there. They wrapped it with black tape You can see the higher move really easy. So that's probably loosens the goose Check the amperage on it's pulling about eight amps So I was wondering whether or not this That's tight, but man And there don't wiggle no more Okay, so we got back on the cooler here Our head pressure right now is 200 around 134 a suction was uh 14.5 Green 16 over there. So it's within a two pounds I want to see if this thing Pump down and shut off which it has it obviously a pressure transducer on it That should shut it down That pressure is going up Hands are going to have a hard time pumping it down Yeah, it's not good But it does shut off even though the pressure is Really weird I would say probably Tripped out it's hard to say Moving out here It's blinking High pressure. So yeah, it basically it's tripping on high pressure Wow So if we put a solenoid back here either it's overcharged which is very possible This is what you call walking in on a landmine You know, let's see Let's see where we're at here on this thing. Let's Warm it up and see if we can figure out how much we got inside that thing All right, so we come back in here to the freezer It looks like we've got all the ice off of this And Check the backside here Yeah, the backside's all good to go. I can't see it, but you can so Got a little bit there on that Suction line there, but I'm not gonna worry about that right now I'm gonna go ahead and kick this thing back on so we can keep temperature The cooler if I not cold air I think we just mainly need to make sure the thermostat's not sticking and then fix this pump down issue because it You know, let's go take a look there So we removed about One pound area and it brought our pressures down to a little more reasonable But I try pumping it down. It's still don't work. We're running 83 pounds or We're running 83 degrees into the condenser, which is what we got a thermometer down there for I checked our cut in cut out. So I made a small adjustment to that All right, so far we've taken out three and a half pounds And when you watch it here be right where we're at I've been doing some adjustments on my cut in and cut out all so They were a default Like to see my evaporator have to be above freezing before it kicks in I can see why this thing would probably freeze up you threw in a thermostat possibly that's not accurate On top of tripping high head pressure You know, you're gonna all right, so we reached temperature I turned it all the way up to about 40 something there before we even could get it And we were running 32 degrees in here So to say the least that thing's off by 10 degrees not counting the differential Um, so we're gonna go and get them a new thermostat on there. I'm just gonna put on a traditional About 44 in here 46 somewhere that fall apart So we got it all in You got this all insulated up which In the path of use split insulation and then wire tied around that sub cooler deal there So Yeah, there was that bulb mounted back here in the back. We're gonna turn her down Thing it sucks is they got the compressor Going high high amperage right through the control Made sure that this wasn't bent because sometimes you get these bent on there and that will throw the Back off and then that makes it bind the bimetal insider All right, so the freezer's running About 14 degrees so it's coming down quite a bit That ice cream needs to take it now. That's empty Yeah Ice creams one thing it does not like mild temperatures. That's for sure It likes well below zero They said that dripping stuff only happened after they opened up the cooler. So now i'm not as concerned about it They're wanting prices on potentially just replacing all this equipment because they know that it's been uh bandated for quite a long time and uh So we're gonna get them that i'm not gonna do a bunch of repairs when they're considering doing that all i'm gonna do is make sure that We did the most common things that we knew we needed to do Which that thermostat there was definitely one of them that we needed to do So You can see the door seals are not the greatest All right, so we went ahead got everything unhooked from it. We've been checking the sight glass Everything's full on this thing. It just finally shut off. So i'm gonna go in and check the thermostat First thermostat to put on was just as bad as the one that replaced sparse accuracy So hopefully this new one's better. I got the numbers off these fan blades We're gonna see if we can get the opposite rotation I hate seeing them buy brand new motors when they were installed the wrong somebody installed the wrong motors begin with You know, they probably are not the right horsepower. So who knows can't even really check ampere at all and be accurately And be accurate as to whether or not it's going to over amp when we get the right one in there because I mean Yeah, it's backhanding it But my head pressure on this freezer was running like 325 So between that and then they use in one shot, which is you know a cheap alternative. We've got a little bit of bubbles in there so I don't carry one shot myself I would convert it over to 404a and be done with it, which is what they should have done to begin with Um, you know, it just there's so much hodgepodge-ness you got disconnects and stuff that are just whacked but I'm gonna go inside double check that temperature control and we're gonna wrap this up Now back to this breaker that I first seen these are my cooler fans this red breaker The freezer compressor is a single phase The walking cooler compressor is also single phase. So these are using whatever breaker they had so That breaker is sized correctly. It's 30 amp looks like 10 gauge wire Amperage-wise we're we're in spec for that. So we might have You know between the high head pressure and everything else and just with not using an interlock relay to stage the defrost heaters Ap the compressor shuts off That's just pulling a lot of extra amperage on it. Well, somebody was standing there with the door open So I just shot my temperature readings all to hell. So now we're uh Not even accurate again. It would have been nice to have gotten gotten in here before that happened So anyhow, like I said, I had to change this thermostat Ended up moving the bulb over here I don't know if they got heat sneaking in through here. You can see where it's falling apart I mean, it's just it's just got some issues freezer this Don't help if they're not going to shut the door So and I don't think this thing can even hit temperature anyhow Um, yeah, if they're not getting that door shut they're letting all that humidity in so There's just so many problems so many problems And you can see the doors. I mean just there's so many and you can't You can't just fix all this stuff in one trip or economically So it's dropping back down we're 40 Should be pretty good there. I'm going to leave it right around 38 area I go to 35 just to be safe put her at 35 They'll see what uh, how things go they can always adjust that themselves if they need to And uh, they can go from there Like I said, if you guys enjoyed the video and you want to see more like it give it a thumbs up Make sure you subscribe click the notification bell and until next time guys.
