 Saturday morning and we are running a cooler call walking coolers froze up possibly back compressor or something like that so we're heading over there to take a look and see what we got going on all right so we've got a coil that's partially frozen here all the way across that's a long old burger one two three four five six fans so we got that one coil is a little dirty you can see that pretty plain there I have a feeling or something else going on and then we've got another one over here this one looks fairly okay them being dirty again so one of our guys lives nearby he stopped over tried to help me out he turned it up to 80 so that could shut off so it could start falling while I was heading this way and then he thought maybe one of the compressors bad possibly so let's check it out and see what we got going on try to figure out which one switch just when obviously it's going to be the one closest to the drive-through and the other one there is gonna be closest to that side of the building over there so I'm gonna start with the one closest to drive-through here find out why it's froze up see if the defrost clock ain't working or what these are just timed off defrost okay so here we go that one don't sound very good yeah I would say that one's got twisted off crank it's it's pumping or I should say it's rotating he didn't have his gauges are nothing with him I'd say this one's probably toast meal my holy mackerel these things are old and my oh my oh my so what he thought was maybe this one's low on charge and a defrost clock possibly being could be just defrost clock and this one here I'm about bet you it's not pumping go ahead and tie on to that just see if he's got any suction pressure I bet it don't all right so there's no cold coming back at all this thing beyond needing replaced it's like there's nothing in there let's take a look here and see what we've got okay suction pressure 50 pounds 50 pounds I would say that's not good for testing purposes let's crank this thing in and see if we pull down which I'm about here in tune it's not going to yeah it's not happening Chuck not happen at all okay that one's gone so put this to sleep yeah it's twisted off something fierce good Lord all right so we got this opened up looks like contactors newer defrost takes a while for it to defrost don't it looks like it might be stuck there yeah I don't feel very good it's it's on be sure it's on all right 249 on our terminals there let's mark it I have a feeling it's stuck there it really seemed like it is give it a moment here to see that a center there with that set for a moment it just does not let's see if I can hear it I can't hear it turn in there so we'll give that a moment at coil in there we can see if maybe we can get the garden hose out wash it out which they've got one right there convenient melt the ice push the coil do it all at the same time it might work out kind of nice all right their hose didn't work for crap it leaked everywhere so I've got mine hooked up which I just found out I lost one of my nozzles and I've been wanting to get a new one anyway so these doors kind of make it kind of convenient because you can just literally walk right through them or set a hose through so we're gonna go ahead get some of this metal that all I have is cold water but even cold water works decent so we're gonna wash all this get clean and get rid of the ice at the same time or frost whatever you want to call it so we're gonna kill two birds and one stone and then we'll check the refrigerator in charge might as well as good wash out the condenser now that we got the hose out yeah that's gonna help you real a lot better he's got another 10 foot to go all right so we got the evaporator completely cleaned out washed off the condenser here got quite a bit of crud out of it you know this time of the year where it's still cold not a big deal could have got away with it but I'm lost in probably a month or two it's gonna start getting warm and next thing you know the freaking freaking thing's gonna be overheating it's been obviously probably 20 minutes 15 minutes and we haven't moved a bit in the clock there so the clock is bad I've been using a Stanley Fat Max hose which has been pretty good because it kind of folds up but it's not as convenient as that pocket hose so I think I'm gonna be switching over the pocket hose the only thing nice about this one was you could trim it and salvage it but I've already had a break once that pocket hose I used in the reach-in freezer worked awesome and I think I'm gonna go back to that's so much easier to fold up especially when it's freezing cold weather and your hoses don't want to fold up for crap usually for anything major I like using my rubber hose but I'm going to probably pick up one of those pocket hoses for these weird you know little in-and-out things where you don't need to stretch it halfway across the country so you know let's get the clock changed it's 230 volt clock and we'll see how a refrigerant level is all right so we got the new clock in there got the tea frost time set exactly the same as before like 68 minutes area went ahead and copied the times that they got there 12 8 and 4 so it should operate like it used to long ago and we'll go ahead and turn this on then we gotta go inside and turn the thermostat on because the thermostat still turned down and for giggles just to make sure and I don't usually do this I'll met it I'm gonna mark it just to make sure the new one's working line it right up with the 20 there breaking in already go inside and flip that thermostat to the right direction all right finally found the thermostat set that thing back to decent temp don't know if that's the greatest place for it it's been there forever no one's died yet and I assume it's probably accurate seems like it clicked on about the right spot so as you can see we've got looks a lot better than it did this other one over here it's just gonna circulate the air it's not a whole lot we can do with that right now that'll be able to handle this no problem right now for still in March so I'll have our sales guy coming quote probably new condensers what it really needs really whole thing would be this thing so and it's not running so I don't know what's going on now so we must have a safety device some sort kicking it out which kind of sucks we heard it kick on when the pressure came up enough to make it come on so we're gonna have to check suction pressure and see where we're at on it didn't think we're gonna get out here that easy did you just check the low pressure switch and she is open unless it's a high pressure switch to which I don't think it is so for whatever reason see if we can get on there and I always hate these things because you got a dig way back in there to try to get into them which is never convenient capacitors back there to get shocked on all kinds of good stuff all right something weird I don't see any time delays in here but after a little bit of time before I even got my gauges hooked on it clicked and I doubt it's that unit over there because it has no power so why I mean other than the fact that I'm looking at the pressures there and they're not set where I would figure they would be at but it seemed a little bit high or I'm sorry they seem like a little bit low this thing was changed over to PoE oil back in 01 and we are running 134A so this pressures will be a little lower but I would figure would be a little better than that off check my PT chart but off top of my head that seems really low fans are going the right way but they're going the wrong way somebody's changed the fan blades on them I mean it works that'll confuse you looking they can see the fan blades that one's clockwise that was counterclockwise whatever all right had to get the old 15 inch wrench out there to get that baby off there that baby was throws on there and threw some tape on that so I know they didn't have that's not great so we're running right in there about 14 ish I'm gonna throw it into a hypothetical deep Ross here we're gonna see where she shuts off at test this thing over yeah and vows we've got some issues or solenoid ain't working with a piss jeesh gonna kick back on a bit ain't the most accurate a thing about 18 this thing's got issues yep yep now she holds there hmm and in the summertime it'll be even worse kind of curious here if we crank this the rest of the way in quick check on it all right so we got her cranked in let's go ahead and see what we get she's holding so I mean it's raising a little bit but she's holding for the most part our solenoid starting to leak by I bet you so we got going on if it even has the other it is it's out here solenoid just leaking by I'm not gonna screw with anything just because it's been like this for so long there's probably a reason why they got it set so low I yeah just one of the things so we're gonna go ahead and put this thing back to normal and I got a grocery store to go look at now all right guys got everything back up and going I gotta call this grocery store now see what's going on next and we'll see if you can go along with us you always like the video you know what to do until next time we will catch you guys on the next one
