 Wonderful day to work inside. You can't see this there. You can see it. We came back to do the R290 coil Get that changed we've got cap tube We're gonna put a new one of those into new dryer obviously And then we'll have to brace it off because it's factory warranty. We got to seal it up like they want it All right, we're holding temperature good here Everything's 3031 so we're looking good there. We're gonna Go ahead and probably get this leveled emptied out here. Oh my You have to clean all that out. So we got this down you see we're gonna ice here Which it could have been in its defrost off cycle the main toilet up in here looks okay You see it's all clear last time I was able to Get up Get those screws out We've got this all loosened up. We're just going to cut the cap tube right there Got our detector here just beeping away We bled a little bit off, but I didn't want to get too crazy without letting that thing run Never know where Combustible source is that Unfortunately, I don't have a good place to run my hose to Or I'd run my big long one. So we're kind of just venting it out Away from all the equipment back here If it gets too strong, then we'll be able to pin Such a slow tedious process We've already had gotten the system completely drained down off the net off the suction side there Went ahead and cut the high side now I'm purging nitrogen completely through the system fortunate from the suction side through Coil and everything else and working its way back over to here Got the new coil out and I just noticed that didn't record as I removed it What I ended up doing is I cut the cap tube here and then I ended up cutting the refrigerant line right There I just chopped it out They want you to remove all the components by chopping them out not embracing them You want to cut everything out and then once you've you know already got everything completely bled out Bars with nitrogen made sure everything's out of there Then go ahead and brace it back in obviously still using your nitrogen like you should be doing I just now noticed they didn't put that 90 on the new one so we're gonna have to steal that off that one or make a new one one or the other right now What we got is The cap tube there. I got a new one of those that sensor there That goes in the back of the coil at the top that needs to be put back into place when we get it in there But so far nothing super special here Got the old capular tube here. We got the new one looking at the size there I'm gonna count my loops make sure they're the same length if not all unwind it and wind it back up, but At least give me that they were good enough to give me a new filter dryer, too They forgot to send me my r290 though. Luckily. I've got some Counted it. I got about eight loops here about eight loops there good on that. We know it's the same Make sure a little holes are open there and we'll get that up there ready to go after we embrace those things that's insulation We've got our nitrogen regulator on braze mode Get it a little adapter here purging through the coil gonna get that into place once that's into place I've got to heat it up get this into the hole there They went to give you this piece kind of chintzy of them not to it Heated it up But the cool for a second will blow through there with the nitrogen a little harder Make sure we can feel it coming through the capillary tube You know, he's lick your finger And then it feel you'll feel that cold air on the backside of it So it's coming through. This is where I put a regulator and this will be a small gadget here Which I had to find this online. It's made by JB. I think I have this in my toolbox area If not, I can always look it up. I don't know if eBay had or I don't know if Amazon had this or not I forget had to do a lot of searching to get it does quarter inch all the way up to I think seven eighths Just makes it easy. Here's a perfect example of doing the job, right? If you got the right tools, you do the job, right? I didn't notice it change this coil. It's black Makes me wonder Made by somebody else. We'll get that put back in there once we're done Definitely got to go back around the back The next day We'll give it a little shove when we get into that place that we're bleeding through there It's coming through the cap tube, which is good It's purging through that there and it's making its way back down here to the bottom Sotter that shut when that came out. So now I'm basically gonna have to blow through my high side To blow that solder out of there while I heat it up. Is it the way I wanted to do it, but at this point There ain't a whole lot I can do about it. So you got your safe glasses on Kind of put a suck to blow something through your freaking eye So we can get that cap tube in there now And as usual I want to make sure my freaking cap tube look pretty in case somebody comes back and looks at it That's why I soldered it shut. So I basically accidentally um Heated it up again to try to get that little goober off of it and then freaking it soldered shut which sucks, but That's what happens when you try to do a good job sometimes things go wrong All right. Well, we're gonna shut that in there once we heat it up. Unfortunately just So much you can do Can't we heat it that up and got it up in there Had an emergency phone call come in of course people don't answer their phone when you call them because they Idiots turn their phones off and put it on vibrate No freaking room to get in here at all Okay, so we got it pulled up in there about as good as you're gonna get it Let's check it the leaks and move on the r290 stuff just seems like it has a few issues But it stands out more because it is a newer newer refrigerator in the united states I bought a uh moved into a new house and we took our old fridge. It was older 15 years old and we put it on the garage. We had a stuff full, you know freezer fridge And one day the summer I walked out there and everything was soft Yep So I told my wife is a hey, you know, I can't let you spend the extra money and let's just get a new one And this winter went out there and then ones are worse than the old ones. Yeah Yeah, something with the thermostats in the refrigerators if it's real cold. It doesn't want to run the freezer Yeah, it's like 35 degrees in there. Well, they're not made to be ran in cold weather, right? Um, it uh, they're made for 70 degree, you know ambience, but you put in a garage I mean like even a pop machine. It's got special things in there to allow it to do that Yep, so I was pretty happy So I ended up ordering then a garage uh chest freezer. So the fridge and everything still works I mean if it's cold outside it's the fridge is going to be blown off with people's beer and water in there anyways Yeah, it's unfortunate We had a one service guy called and he said honestly, he said if you want a garage fridge He said you're better off getting something that's 10 years old in the use section He said you'll probably get more life out of it. Yep, true Is that stuff so big that it paid in the end to break? I mean you gotta know what you're doing It uh, big thing is make sure you're running nitrogen like I'm doing because that carbon you see on the outside You get on the inside and that's pluck it up. So that's what takes a lot longer When you do it right Yeah back in the day, I mean we used to Raise it and not run nitrogen or nothing still people do like that But if you want to not have a callback later, especially when you're talking a capillary tube, that's such a restricted device Between that and then say the compressor was running into a negative was run really hot That's polyester oil whereas before those were like mineral oils Well, the polyester oil will break down and then it'll get clogged into the capillary tube So that's why I changed your capillary tube and then made sure it purged nitrogen So any of that carbon stuff can get in there and get your capillary tube if the compressor gets into a negative It can break down the oil it'll get in the capillary tube and create all kinds of nightmares Yeah, but since it wasn't into a negative yet, they didn't send me a new compressor Otherwise they would have sent me a new compressor too. I mean that's you know, that's that's those are the small things As long as people follow the procedures, it's not bad. Yeah, so but I mean yeah, it's pretty much now everything's brazen I gotta do a pressure test on it and evacuate it and charge it back up again Yeah, pretty much and you should be good for at least another three or four weeks Another one Three or four weeks four weeks That was when I was working from here, so I'd work at three months period when we were closed Then I wouldn't work until the following summer And it seemed like yeah, like running nitrogen through lines Like my first summer you didn't you didn't do that and then the next summer I'm like what are you talking about me that yeah, you have to run Nicely to do the lines what you're doing Yeah, I mean there's a lot of guys that don't I bought a regulator that makes it really easy to do it right I mean, I got some other gizmos like Like this that I can sit there and jam into the coil while embracing an external unit and it allows me to flow nitrogen through it I mean, there's all kinds of tricks just depends on how involved somebody is into it. So, I mean Yeah, I appreciate it that you've done We're getting Yeah, I try to do a good job too, so I mean I I make youtube videos and stuff like that so At first the company didn't like it, but I'm like wait a minute. You got proof that I did the job, right? Yeah, I'm not gonna put it out there for 5,000 10,000 people to see yeah if I'm gonna do it wrong. So sure It eventually got him to okay I mean I recorded the the last repair and stuff and you know It got quite a few things even true a guy from true watched it and he's like, yeah, we've got a couple issues We got another pressure test here 180 pounds both sides both are hooked up Haven't picked up any leaks yet We're gonna pull evacuation on this thing and get a recharge just like we did When we made the repair or I should say when we first came out here. So so far it's holding just fine No drops or anything like that. We got it evacuating We have all of our shrieker course pulled out when I get done recharging this I'm gonna pinch this off Here and here Raise it shut and then we'll be done this thing holds three ounces And uh, we're already in less than a minute and a half already at 27 inches We're gonna continue pulling this thing down make sure it holds. I got to put the micron gauge on it yet Normally, I don't pull through the hoses, but just one of the things where it's really not worth the extra hassle For as small as this thing is. All right, this has been a major pain in my butt. So They're so annoying Good grief, Lisa was my deal. Lisa was a need to the knee Good grief I'm doing delicate brain surgery here and you're interrupting me All right, so this thing's been a pain in my butt. Like I said, it Didn't want to hold for nothing. I think it's some valve core tools I had the freaking uh one from uh Accu-tools, I think that thing that when you turn the ball it instantly goes fast And you can tell it just don't feel good And same thing. I mean the cnds did good, but that one there's a little difficult to turn So anyhow, we're going to charge this thing up and see if it runs. That'll tell me whether or not I got an issue with my solder joints, maybe something's plugged up Which it's not going in very quickly, which don't surprise me Well, I might be about out of refrigerant, which could be the case So I may have to switch bottles. I'll warm this one up to see if you got much pressure behind it That's probably what's going on It's always something I'm telling you what you're doing critically charged systems and this kind of crap happens I want to get this on video because this really pisses me off junk cans Malfunction you can't unhook this when you're inside the building Otherwise you have a chance of having a fire when everyone else Has gone with the ones that look like a regular propane bottle Why didn't they go with that? That would have made a lot more sense Had to build my own little contraption here for it, but it works That's what we're going to finish it out with. I would not recommend that garbage I couldn't unhook my hoses. I literally had to unhook it put my finger over it and walk it out of the building Because otherwise I was unhooking it from the system and would have blown everything out of the system Dangerous pure dangerous. We got it in there. Let's see if this thing will suck it in now the rest of the way I've got something wrong with my braids joint All right, so we got it weighed in and pinched off the high side Pressures are looking fairly similar to what we have before Discharged temperatures a little higher at 135 But it's working and we're at 35 degrees I was waiting to see it hit temperature and I'm out of here
