 All right, so we've got a few parts to put on and we have a couple coolers that aren't working right first one's an ice cream machine I found a temporary one on my truck and I am getting it replaced right now a lot of people don't understand is on self-serve or soft serve ice cream It's a 40% air. It's a thing called overrun. So it makes your cone fluffy This switch here turns the air pump off that actually adds air to the mix When it's pumping it up what we had was the switch was not turned it off and that can cause it to Blow the air hoses and things like that Which I've got a couple tricks here because this is under pressure now So use that to lock down the hoses So as you can see Way this works is you've got this Actual pump mechanism here on the center that sucks the mix up out of this bag right here goes through there Pushes it through up into the barrel But at the same time that little pump on the back is pumping up air and it's cramming it into here Well, this could be under 25 pounds of pressure potentially So to make sure we're not getting zapped with a crap load of mix we're gonna clamp that off and Get that switch undone because otherwise that mix gonna come flying back at us There's a check valve there that check valve a lot of times doesn't work, right? Don't and that mix gets all in your pump and that's a whole with horrific mess Is any interplace about everything in there? I've tried cleaning it several times and it just Never works out, right? We'll go ahead and turn this thing back on And turn the pump on Performance here cylinders at 28 slowly dropping down good on town Now we got a couple coolers you gotta look at one's frozen up the other one's probably been freezing up So we gotta find out what's going on with those. Alright, so we already checked the belts made sure the tension is right double check They're motor protector there in rush is only 23 amps, which I just had a motor not too long ago later last week The start capacitor was going out. It would start and run but my starting amperage was like 97 amps It was a two horse 230 volt motor But something to kind of look out for is your in rush if you got that on your meter It kind of can tell you a lot without having to tear everything apart kind of gives you some insight No, of course, you got to keep records of it to be useful information. You can just You know go off it purely but we've already kind of went through this machine last week So we're kind of done with this Temperatures good ice cream tastes good. We're good on that and let's go look at this other cooler It's freezing up and I've got another one decided it's freezing up kind of look inside there You can't see it, but it's frozen. So we're going to yank this panel off take a look mill it out And we got this one over here same thing it's froze up and You can see right there. That's plan is day Ice sickle city Yeah, we gotta drag this thing out see if we can get this thing melted out Luckily, they're not busy yet Can't do much with it frozen up Probably low on charge blood condense or coil same crap as it always is Looks like a fairly newer Water all over the place you can do Whatever convenient power is off. Otherwise, you'll short something out trying to do what I'm doing Not this is instructional video for the freaking homeowners and business owners This is for the guys that actually work on this crap every day those cherries look at that. That's nice Nice nice nice. I can get them all it out of there No One of the things you got to watch out for you can't use the torch You can get R290 or any type of flammables, and you also can do it if you got electrical wires in there And to be honest with you. This actually melts it a lot quicker than the torch does And it makes a little bit of a mess that you're gonna melt water for the torch anyway, so It's just easier to do it with the little sprayer It's not bad it gets it done Like I said, we'll probably find a leak I wouldn't be surprised in the evaporator and the condenser coil if I'm here in T.U. is plug solid Just because it's right beside the prior which is so horrible place for it, but it's the convenient place That's what happens That looks a little bit better. I got all the pin side there all that accumulator all that stuff I'm gonna blow it out real quick and get this thing running We'll see what we got going on might as well scan it for leaks while we got a part soon I blow the water off of it. I had thermostat too though. I mean It's hard to say This coil looks in pretty good shape The full cooler looks fairly newer Could be they just leave the doors open Door seals are okay on it I'm not getting anything yet May just be the thermostat It's not cutting in cutting out the way it should it won't defrost so Let's go ahead and check charge see where we're at on that probably have to tap it Sure, it's not dirty. Nope not at all Defrost control. Oh, wow It actually has a cheap freaking defrost from there on the back. Nice All right, so that's unusual for me to have this kind of defrost clock which you can see all the Freaking grease and crap in it. Which is a crappy spot to put that at. It just falls right into it Condenser coils. Yeah That's lovely lovely lovely I would not be surprised that clock is screwed It turns freely unfortunately There's probably no taps on this thing I'm ready to just conveniently check it Not horrible seen worse I was just worshiped off at the sprayer All right, so we're at 10 30 right now They're going to be popping busy here in a second. We ain't got time to screw around with this It's going to be one of two things either the defrost clock, which didn't seem like it was sticking It's sticking or we're a little bit low on refrigerant found the suction port Inhead recovered it brazed on a tap as that's the way I like to do it Because they're more reliable than it is clamp on jump And then I pulled a quick back on it because we obviously didn't let nothing into the system Now we're getting ready to recharge it We're going to see how it's performing if there's no problems with the cap tube stuff like that And we're going to watch it for a week or a couple days And we'll order the clock if we need the clock So it's kind of one of the things there it's going to be one of the other this only holds six ounces So, you know, it's not a humongous deal to Pull the charge and put that in it's just smarter that way come on came in. It's just easier Everybody has their own way of doing it. That's the way I do it She's starting to finally come down. I had a thermostat wire come unplugged We're 22 pounds, which is about negative 11 This is a freezer. That's why I was kind of confused there on the defrost block being on it This has been kind of a half hazard thing. I was supposed to be one piece of equipment next thing I know I'm working on these two We should have entered earlier But they didn't open up So unfortunately now we're in the way Looks pretty traditional right here for freezer So there's a good chance it could be a defrost heater element that's not working right or the plock's not working right I completely was not looking And not thinking obviously But now that we've got that before we're left, let's go ahead and check the defrost clock make sure there's an bridge on that heater We have the defrost clock or the defrost ax going on so either we got a Limit switch came unplugged Limit switch could be bad Could be the heater probably the limit switch All right, I've got my head up my butt because I'm freaking getting russian gaples pissed because I'm in their way The limit switch probably is open because the thing's perfectly warm So we're going to go ahead and start on this other one and as it's freezing down Should do it a D for us. I'll just have to check it after that Now we're working on this one This is my fault for not saying no I did not know they had these other pieces of equipment I guess I didn't look at my call slip whatever the case when you got this much stuff in a place Where you can't just drag it off to the side or where they can just work around you You need to just schedule it for later. We're going to go ahead and tear into this thing Pretty much the exact same thing of what we had on the other one the same brand the same scenario It's interesting that they're both freezing up which kind of tells me that Doors are probably getting left open. It's high humidity back here. It's probably freezing on there But in theory it should be able to melt it off now. I screwed up on the other one not checking it closer That's the freezer This thing is unplugged obviously it's back here in the back corner of the kitchen And it's uh I'm able to kind of freehandedly pull this thing out like I'm doing All right, something I've noticed that drained I don't know. Maybe it's drained and maybe it's not That can cause us some ice issues But finally got it milled out. You know, I wouldn't have wasted my time But the refrigerator level on the other one, but this one here I can almost see Right here on that top. Although I can see oil stains. It sure looks more like refrigeration oil Yeah, I kind of Put none of jumped to the refrigerant on as an issue on that freezer if I would have thought looked a little closer and seen that It was a freezer Generally, I mean I'm just going off of hello. It's cooler. We shouldn't freeze up thermostat controls that it ain't thermostat then it's uh restriction or it's a A thermostat thermostat or refrigeration issue. It's gonna be yeah, whatever. So a little flustered look what we got Looks like we got a couple different leaks About how to use hearing protection to be in here So some of you are probably like, well, hey, you can probably tear that out there and solder that and I probably could but If it's eating through the solder joint there you're telling me it's not eating through the copper somewhere else We're just going to quote them to replace it. I'm going to recharge it right now But this is the reason why I ended up doing what I did to the freezer because I thought it was a cooler because this right here Nothing lasts anymore. Everybody made everything so efficient It made the copper thin so then get proper heat transfer so they can save energy But we just wasted how much copper how much energy to make that coil This throwaway society's come into bite us in the butt Yeah, it's pretty small leak. I believe if you're having a hard time seeing it I thought originally it might be on that top one, but does not appear or did it seem to alarm In that vicinity almost he might was one of the black ones down below We'll let that set for a bit. Let's go ahead and get this all tapped if it ain't already Yeah This one's already had it all it's been tapped on the high side and tapped on the low side That uh It's three eights. I don't have any of these on my truck. So that's not me Uh Hard to say Whether You know this has been going on for a while or what I had a feeling that it's been a leaker Does not surprise me then clean her up and get her reduced And we'll see whether he wants to repair it or replace it or what It's been a little while and it still Is not showing up where that leak is that I don't see Now there's a potential There on that back side You can see it I can't hardly tell because the glare But potentially could be there But like I said, this has been happening for a while. I have a feeling that this has been ignored We uh are tapped on the high side obviously So we won't be truly accurate till we dump that high side back into the suction But so far so good Got that coil completely blown out a lot better than what it did by far So it's still a little bit there at the top which we can do all that when we come back They need their cooler back for their line What I have marked it so I won't have to wonder does it have a leak anymore 72 in here And 82 92 102 so about 22 degrees or 32 degrees over ambient or on a 22 degree evaporator And we are starting to come down pretty quickly in temperature Let's see what we got here Just about the temperature It's always great to see it leaking out like that so we gotta tighten it up hopefully it's just loose Still leaking Still leaking look at that no more leaks amazing Still got an evaporator leaking like a sieve, but you know, it's all good Yeah, I dumped the rest of it in Let's ship us back to the suction pressure we were up before That's a lot cleaner than what it was before All right good as new So run down to what all we've done place the pressure switch on the ice cream machine We put a tap on the freezer that we may not have needed. We're going to order a new defrost clock for that I am going to test the defrost heater here in a second to make sure that it kicks on now that it's down to temperature I'm just going to put my amp meter adapter that goes on the plug into the wall make sure it pulls amperage And um, they'll order that clock because I'm pretty sure that greased me and it probably didn't help it a whole lot Everything else checked out fine as long as I got amperage It tells me that the limit switch is working and letting power through it tells me that the element works And the only thing left then is the clock this thing here it's leaking in the evaporator It looks like it's happened before I got it recharged pulled the charge weighed it back in good to go To spec everything's running got it marked up I went ahead and tested that defrost heater out with my little spline splitter here What I ended up finding was there was no amperage at all I'm going to order a new defrost limit and defrost clock the clock because it has degrees in it Limit because it's most likely what's dropping it out the heater generally. I don't lose them very often if it's cheap I might go ahead and get it But otherwise it's usually just the the heater limit that tends to go bad. There's still another mad dash rush I mean we're 1250 area and it's a mad house which was just an absolute disaster Which is why I told them that we got to start earlier next time.
