 might be a thermostat, but they got disconnected here. Check that one there, at least the fan's good, it's just not calling for it. We're gonna need to get that power killed so I can check the linkage of it, otherwise that happens both uses, which is not really the way I want it. They couldn't find the key, so they were gonna chop it off, so they let me play with my new toy. They cut it right off in heartbeat. Here's what I found so far. You can rock this thing back and forth. So that's not good. The other ones seem like they're pretty solid. Don't see any blades that are loose or broke, and all the brackets feel pretty tight. There are some heavy duty blades there. Not better than what they put on the rooftop units, that's for sure. Yeah, that's definitely got, you can hear it. All right, so I went over there and checked the full load amps on the motor at 460, which this is running 491, 492. The one motor that's fairly quiet, you can see it'll drop down there. I mean, that's close enough. You can tell it's pretty quiet. Here's the one in the middle. This one here was a little noisier, but the amperage wasn't too horrible. But the amperage was still, you know, but you can tell those bearings are dry. And then when you go to this one, this little piggy wants to go home. As you can tell, that one's not only noisy because the bearings are going out of it, but it's also pulling higher amperage because of it. So you shouldn't do what I did. I used an insulated screwdriver, so crucify me later. So anyhow, that's what we got going on. So it's to me, they definitely need to change this first motor. The second motor, I'm gonna recommend they do it while we got it out going, because you can tell it's making noise. It may be another year before it goes out, but we're dealing with product here. So the price of motor usually is not a big deal when you're talking about the product cost, if something goes down. So I'm gonna get the authorization on that. And then he had some things he wanted me to check down there on the other condensers that don't run very much. So I did a temporary wire job here. Normally the motor closest to the incoming part of the manifold or the condenser coil always runs and they'll cycle and last after one. Then they'll cycle each every one after that potentially, but they'll always usually keep the first one running. I went ahead and switched the first one and the third one opposite of each other to keep that one from running. Yeah, it's still hooked up. If the pressure gets high enough, it'll come on like the one on the end would have normally came on. You can tell the keep on go difference. But we got one in stock, so we'll get it, but this will at least get it back up and going. Even if they didn't have one in stock, this would at least make this thing not run as much. And with it being cooler out here, not such a big deal. Cyclists so far is full, but they just came on. We got to look at the other condensers down there. They're smaller and they don't run as much as this one. So we gotta check to see if the temperatures are not set the same or what the story is. We went ahead and picked up our new motor and I'm back. So I got the contactor switched back to the way they were. Got our new motor down there ready to go. And I've got one of our set screws out, but when I got to this last one here, the old wrench isn't doing so well. I can see the threads not turning. So I'm gonna try to heat that thing up and see if we can get it out of there. I'm gonna cheat and try my hand torch first, which probably won't get it hot enough, but I'm gonna try that first. And if not, I'll have to get the settling torch. I didn't think it was gonna work, but I just kept on turning, figured we'll see what happens. And sure enough, she broke loose. Now I'll probably go ahead and stick just a regular bolt or whatever I can get in there, because you can see those threads. You get close enough to it. There, you can see they turn funny as you're turning it. Yeah, so. Now let's see if we can pull this thing off. We've got mixed feelings on this thing. It seemed like it was really great in the beginning, but I haven't my lingering doubt since then. These little set screws, instead of nice big bolts, not as happy with it as what I first thought I would be. Let me get this thing sized up, which looks like that one's it. Now I will say before I left, I sprayed that, then put it on defrost and pushed it to the very, pushed it, okay, washed, pushed. Those are two of my words. So I set the defrost so that they would start about 10 minutes after it soaked for a while and then start back up again. So on this one here, we're gonna have to be careful. We've got the wires look like they're eight up, but mainly it's just the outer jacket of the shiny part. So otherwise they look pretty good shape. There are no cracks in the actual vinyl. So we'll get that done. You could feel the heat. It's hot enough. I don't want to touch that thing. It's definitely hot. All right, so it's 460 volt. I wanted to make sure that it was set correctly, which these are the real easy plugs, just yank it and switch it. Usually they come on high voltage, but I wanted to make certain that it was and get the plug out of there. Good to go there. This has a really nice plate that makes it so easy to get in there. So go ahead and get this thing mounted up here in a second. Just got to get this other one unwired yet. Yeah, that plug isn't looking so healthy, is it? Nope. So they put like a, looks like a zip screw, but it's not. There's a little pin basically to hold the motor in place while you get it pinned back into place with the bolts. So it's kind of unique. I had to give it a little bit of a yank, which bode a little bit of that there, but they popped off, which is good. I did put a little electrical tape on that there because the little sheath thing they had on there is no good. So I went ahead and put that on there and it gives a little extra protection. That's a real fine thread. I didn't have any bolts that would match that. So I'm gonna put it on this key side since it's not really doing much more than holding the key there. And then the other one here is the one that was better. It's gonna hold it mainly against the shaft there. Still gotta tighten up these nuts on the motor yet mounting. So we got those tightened up down there. Went ahead and used number three setting on that impact. Broke them loose. I figured it should be able to make them tight enough, but we'll double check them with the wrench just to make certain. Got plenty of clearance all the way around. We're gonna verify rotation and should be good to go here in just a second. All right, so these are the evaporators that it goes to here, here, and those two over there. So we got one here that is missing a fan motor and he was curious about why this one's set up versus the ones up towards the dock. They just doesn't seem to run the same. So that's what I'm checking now. All right, so this motor has been out for a while. So I just got the numbers off of this one here. So we have something to compare it to along with the model number, so a number of this evaporator. You can kinda see how big these are. They're decent size. But that one condenser does all four of these evaporators, whereas the other condensers I've got one does two there and the other one does two of them over there, which we're gonna go over there and compare those thermostats now. The number one is the one that was looking a little bit low. I guess we already fixed the leak on number two. Don't look very good. Do much with it today though. Three days later. All right, we're back. I got the motor changed down there, so that's the number two motor. And right now we're adding some refrigerant to this one here. Definitely, you can see the oil. Might be old, I ain't sure yet. It's on there and getting her in. Start looking, which we're pretty late in the day, so we'll probably not do the full search today. We were clearing up for a minute there, but it's not. It's when you're hell out here today. Look at that, Juck. 23 pounds area, so. That needs to grow a little bit more in here in a second. We added four pounds of that, plus the 23 and a half. So, so far we just hit the solid for a little bit. I'm sure it'll flash off. And we're only running two out of three fans. So, we do know what the total charge is, so maybe we can kind of calculate what the extra would be here. Little, little hard to determine exactly. Depending on how they calculated originally at 159 pounds. If you took 15% of that off there, you can kind of calculate that's what it would be. And see, we're still flashing after you've taken the solid. Little sneaky peek it likes to do. CXVs are probably adjusting now that they've probably got liquid solid strands of three motors. It's a little on the cooler side today too. It's 48 degrees. But you can see she's blowing pretty good. Got to pop off her leaf valve here, so if it gets too high of pressure, you just blow the whole charge out. Isn't that awesome? That's what you get on the big systems. Did find a leak over here on the receiver or on the filter grier. So we get in here and it's got something going on there. Something going on down in here. So we go into mode here, go to parts per million. See what kind of thing we get, which it's windier. It's really windy out here. Even with it is windy out here. So it looks to me, let's give her old soap a dope. I scanned some of the hoses up there and the flare fittings and stuff and nothing really much on any of that. Nothing on any of the high side stuff here. Low side's in a pump down, so you ain't got any refrigerant really in there. But the evaporator sections probably were my majority, my leaks are out. So we're gonna go ahead and stop here today. I'm gonna soap it real quick. We got our blue bubble agent here. I believe we use new Calgon. I would rather have big blue. That's what I've always grown up with. So let's soap this turd down here and see what we got going on. Well, let's do its thing here. Two six days later. All right, I didn't figure I'd find much on this one here. On these larger coils, think it's kind of interesting they put a gap in between the copper and the aluminum, which you don't see so much on your smaller equipment. And a lot of times, obviously that's where we get a lot of our leaks at. So there's a few spots here that don't have that, but for the most part, a good portion of it has it. They definitely have it out there in the condenser. So I scanned this side in a little bit of what I could get a hold of right here. I'm going to head over to the other side. Most likely it's going to be on the solder joints there. We've got all this line going across that we could have to look at, but we're going to start the obvious stuff first and then work our way across. We've got a truck getting delivered. So probably aren't going to be able to get to that fur far condenser over there, which wouldn't surprise me it'll end up being where it'll be at. So that's the landstand. I wanted to check here, which already did nothing there. You can put a little poke in the insulation, nothing there. That's why to go up the wall on the inside. They had a refrigerant stem on the high pressure side there at the TXV could have been on that. Didn't pick nothing up on it when it was static. When I took a cap off of it and it's a desert, sprayed it with the cap off, didn't bubble. So the only place I found a leak was on the filter dryer out there. So that's liquid that leaks the fastest. It's possibly the only place. So it might've been a long time for it. So I don't know. Okay, so like I said, this was the only place I picked anything up. See if we can get anything today with it being colder. Looks over here on this back corner. So it's still there. It's the only place I'm getting it. So I'm gonna tighten that up, see if it stops. Hopefully that might fix it. If not, I'll take the stupid thing apart. All right, you're gonna laugh, but for curiosity's sake, I put torque wrench on there. It's a cheapy, but started at about 30 pounds. Took it up to about 32 is the most I can get without feeling a little leery of it. I don't know what these are rated for, I forget. But I did get some turns out of these two or so here on this top corner where it was leaking at. And we're still on super. And I'm not picking anything up now. Nothing on that little square head there. Seen those leak a few times for sure. So from what I'm seeing, that's, yeah, we were picking up pretty big time around that filter dryer there when it was warmer. Granted, it's not running right now. We'll check it once it's running again, put a little more pressure on it. But I didn't get anything on any of that. Checked through all these flex connectors. I'm already done going through all this here. So I'll scan this again, cause I've had plenty of more on that. Fitting on there. Yep, so, well that was the only place I had it before. And I'm not picking up anything now, so. Well, I wanna run it for a bit, make sure this thing stays solid. Might add that additional pound or two that I need to do, which actually is probably about 10, but we'll kind of go from there. I think I had my markings here. So now here's kind of screwing things up a little bit. There it is. Yeah, 29 and a half to full. Added about eight additional, put me about 38. So, we'll calculate it up again. I forget exactly what it was gonna take. But to make sure that I had enough pressure too, cause like I said, I kicked on the solenoid, got the pressure come up to where it should kick on, shut her off. I'm going to throw all this thing down on the suction side just in case. So I'm gonna get a bunch of liquid flood back to the compressor. Oil looks like it's starting to come up a little bit too. Remember when I saw you last time that it was barely in the sight glass. So it's the bottom third there. As you can see, that's pulling me in quite a bit. I'm gonna get me a half inch to half inch to make it a little easier. I'm gonna throttle that some more. Got the suction pressure down quite a bit to help keep that from happening. And I'll open that up once we kind of get stabilized. It does have an accumulator. Whether or not it needs it or not needs me to do that. I'm just doing it as a precaution just in case cause like you see solenoids way back here. So that's a lot of liquid that got into the system for it to get that pressure. But really don't see how you could have done it in any other way. I gotta have some pressure in there and I surely ain't gonna use nitrogen. All right, that makes me look a lot better. It makes me feel a lot better I could say. Halfway mark, don't see foam in there. I almost wonder if it's got an oil return issue. If that little weak hole they got in there is possibly not letting it through. Maybe all that liquid coming through washes it up and out. I don't know. It's a curious peculiar that our oil level is so high now and it wasn't before. This one hasn't hardly been running. You can see it's about the same area. That's basically where we're at guys. So I'm gonna wrap this thing up. I'm gonna put it in the metal. Basically wrap it, replace it in a motor, add some refrigerant and then double check in all my contactors and stuff like that. So if you guys like the video and you'll see more like it, make sure you give it a big thumbs up and subscribe until next time. We'll catch you on the next one.
