 Little bit of snow today. We're having problems with this beer cooler. So let's go in here and see if the snow had anything to do with it In the colder temperatures or if it's just something broke down inside. They said the evaporators We're not running. So let's take a peek and see what's going on. So it's not running at all what they do is they Take this little motor there pump the cold air from in here out through the beer nozzle area and stuff like that To keep the draughty area cold. I think it's back in there. Now. I've had problems with this thing leaking. I Don't know if this one's got yeah, it's got heater elements They're not on So with it having heater elements, there's a good chance that the defrost is a problem Now I had some leaks on this thing And I think they might have replaced it. I had some writing on the back there. I Don't see it. So I would say it probably Probably was finally replaced. Let's go look outside and see what the what's going on out there. What's behind door number one? Lots of snow not near as much as we just came from another Maronin and There's the one we need beer walk-in cooler walking food cooler drive-thru a Little cooler there Let's pop this puppy and take a peek inside and see what's going on with it. I'd say she's Got some issues with the defrost and behind door number two We have a defrost clock that is setting there Looks like we're kind of should be out of the out of the zone there. You see that we're Click we're out of it it clicked and the light is still staying on Now the heater elements were off because the limit inside there probably tripped I'm going to say let's kill the power to this and Get that replaced. I'm not real sure I need to go this fucking thing again or not But yeah, we could use a regular one technically It'll be fine I've got that clock. I just Don't really like the way that it 15-minute increments instead of smaller increments and These have a tendency to get dirt in them I mean, they're kind of neat, but these little relays as you can see Stick and they're more money. Yeah, I don't think that other ones fit right in there very well Let's just put the same stupid thing in why overthink it. It's a DTAV. I always kind of want to call it Dave but DTAV 40 Get this thing on there. I believe it released We've got a there we go Liquid just slowly going through We're all watches for a bit. It wouldn't surprise me if it's low especially today It's uh, it's low. You're gonna see it today It's somewhere around 16. Yeah, that's really really really great. It's cutting out on low pressure switch And that looks pretty empty. Well, let's go check thermostat. I'm pretty sure Yeah, it's it's just cycling off. It's so freaking cold We'll give it a minute we have to add some Okay, so you see our pressures are super low like last Practically empty dump some in there. We'll do a scan, but maybe they didn't change that evaporator yet I've been telling them for a while. I think I found it low way back. This thing was started up in 12 Found it low in 17. It was two and a half pounds found a low again in 20 So who knows and I think it happened again since then so let's dump some in see what we're at All right guys, I've added about three and a half pounds and my head pressure is about 90 We're running 404 But I believe what's going on is our headmaster there's having issues And if you look at it it is not sending Any heat To the receiver at all. It's not feeding Unfortunately Here's we have us a bad headmaster control if you take a look at the pressures here We're running about 87. So we're running about a 40 degree condensing temperature That sucks This thing is not in the greatest of shapes Let's some block off some of the airflow. They've conveniently got some cardboard over here Let's see what we can do with this Okay, we'll launch our head start to cruise up. We've got it pretty much completely blocked off We can get up there in the 90 degree the total charge was on this I think they forgot to write that down unless we are just really low but It's not feeding that's for certain. I don't think they wrote down the freaking charge mount Yeah, I didn't get in it Not getting it. Let's see if we can kill these fans. I Don't think we're gonna. I don't know. We probably could get one today. I'm not sure It's quite a distant drive back to get it and then not to mention how long it's gonna take to do it Maybe we can put a fan cycle control on this thing get us by until Come back earlier in a day sometime because we're already almost two o'clock. We're building but still, you know Still ain't getting her done yet freaking oil every buyers are rusting out Got oil down in there, which It's an awfully lot of oil wouldn't surprise me if we ain't licking leaking in that aluminum coil. Okay, we got the fans off Tracers starting to finally build up getting better It might still be low. I don't think it's clamping it off. It could be clamping it off. That's pretty warm on that receiver It might be low. It should have tried to open it up. Yeah, look at that. We got That much head pressure and she still is not there yet Bring this fans back on Add a little bit more to it. Maybe we do got that leak going on out here on the coil and take some time to take a Good search there Starting to fill up there. Sorta. I Think we're just pretty low Things act funny when it's a little cold out. Yeah, that receiver is warm. If that was liquid It wouldn't be warm Tall-tail sign that it's low on charge. I think we got us a salacious leak here. That's a pretty good size receiver I think we just went solid at about six and a half pounds and she just went bubbles again Seven and a half pounds This is a thirsty little burger We got us a good size leak somewhere Hopefully still the evaporator, but I'm telling you that oil out here came from somewhere But like I said, you never know people change compressors. They dump oil everywhere Don't clean up their mess That looks pretty factory right there there was solid again eight pounds Take her on up to eight and a half for good measure The other thing feels Good on my hands. I'll tell you that much. Okay, let's stop there Yeah, get a little heat out of that put that up there kind of curious if we take that off if the head pressure holds maybe that Valve needed more refrigerant to be able to start working right. I would have figured it would have Opened up right away, or we just didn't have enough refrigerant to notice it bleeding by But it looks like that right fans doing a different different speed there Open it up for more air to go through That valve is set up for 180 flashing off Awesome dropping in head pressure so the valve is not doing its job pull this completely out see what it does Yeah, right now thinks that cardboard 24 still dropping See what happens here. I'm pretty sure that thing should have been bleeding through Only had about two two or three of those go bad so far Not a lot too. It's just a freaking spring Yeah, she's nose diving Not doing so good Going cold All right, so I'm scanning the inside of the coil here scan of the back scan the front You can see the TXV speeding and even if the TXV wasn't feeding You would have backed up your fridge or it back to the sight glass which I'm not seeing any oil anything in here and this is a newer coil. So This has been updated. So where's my leak? I'm wondering is it above the ceiling somewhere going all the way back to the back You just scan the outside which I'm gonna go back out there scan again, but I'm not seeing anything even there the only place we're getting a hit Right on that freaking cap. That's on super. Let's go to And go to parts for millions. Yeah big it is. Oh Wow That's pretty good size. Holy crap Yeah, that's pretty good size I don't know why seeper wasn't going nuts more than that. It's so cold out here. Everything's just Yeah, that's a pretty good size one Well shoot guys. I've completely scanned All that condenser coil front and back got all up inside here ran it with the fans off to drive the head up to 300 plus pounds and didn't get anything so That's the only place I've got it at spray that thing if I can even get it to bubble I think it's got to be pretty bad Luckily, this is pretty warm so it should Just go Mizzurco and that's with a hundred pounds of pressure on it so it's Definitely gonna leak out pretty fast We've got a bad Headmaster and we've got a low unit along with the bad defrost clock past the That's the goodies around right? Oh Okay, so what we ended up doing we put a T on there make sure we old all of our fittings before we tighten them up Tightened up that fitting there that's leaking wire tight it to here. This is all temporary I'll probably be back on Tuesday Wednesday something like that's my speculation All this kind of temporary otherwise I'd like to see you know, Romex connectors all that crap Right now what I did is I only broke one fan just to see where we're at I'm happy to block the fan off on the other one other side of the condenser to try to even get it up close to 90 and So I'm gonna have to break both fans. It's just too cold out here To really do much with it. Yeah, it's gonna dive right back down again. So we'll just break both fans But this is gonna get us by so I just tapped in there ran the one through and Did our thing but that's gonna dry it dive off sight glasses stay in full When I come back and change that head pressure control, I'm gonna chop that stupid Valve out of there that thing is just painting the heiny. There's no it's it's going by by Yeah, you can see we're flashing off. That's not gonna work being down here in the 70s So let's go ahead and get that both fans on there Got her wired up with both fans now Cycling on about a hundred and ten area and kicking off right around 90 So it's about a 20 degree swing don't I get too much cause the TXV to start hunting all over the place What I'm gonna do now is throw it in defrost. I'm gonna check my level in my receiver to see where I'm at it You don't hold a whole lot of liquid in these little coils far as the micro channel So I'm gonna make sure we got plenty. This is one of the few that we've got that actually has a solenoid at the evaporator So it's not gonna be as near an issue as some of them are when You know what? Look at that Look at the bubbles around the receiver. I Think that receiver is leaking Unless it's vibration, but that sure looks like that. That would make sense why all that Oil is down there That makes sense. I need to scan that receiver a little closer I think that suckers leaking I'm almost positive. It's leaking Sure seems like it. This also gives us a chance to see if it shuts off like it should Not that we really care if it's perfectly clean at this time of the year, but the condenser coil is clean And she's slowly Shutting off there at seven pounds. Let's heat that thing up and see what we're at Well, we can see here that the very very bottom is where the liquid is at so we're nowhere near full however, the system's gonna have to be recovered when I come back and I really don't want to have to recover more than what I Need to so I'm just going to leave it where it's at So we're staying solid on our sight glass and then we'll we'll charge it up all the way to 80% when we're done right now everything's secured And we should be good to go It should be dropping in there and like I said head pressure everything looks pretty good It can pump down. I'll be going into a defrost here and probably Three hours, which you know, it's it's not that big of a deal. We should be good then So what's gonna wrap this one up guys?
