Not What I Thought It Was

- This video takes a twist. What appears to be the problem was just part of a symptom. It wasn't until after fully cleaning it did my test show me what was wrong. This is the second one I found like this, it's kind of tricky because you don't see it everyday. I'm always reluctant to make that decision because of the cost involved.

Pressure readings would have been a giveaway.
High suction, low head = inefficient compressor
I just chased my tail for a couple calls on a DUKE subway prep table. SAME thing. Thanks buddy
Once I head the compressor noise I knew it was a wrap . Those big body Tecumseh compressors made in France aren’t the best. Good video Rick
Thanks sir. Good job!
Always great 👍 thanks 🙏 you 😊
Thanks a lot for all the video you put out ! Im a starting Hvac tech. And Its so hard to get someone to teach you the rope on the job ! Im glad I stumble on your channel I learn so much by looking at your video !
You guys like you are exactly the reason why I am making them. It means a lot that to hear it is helping.!
@@HVACRSurvivalYour videos are one of the top two IMO Rick. You have so many skills all in one that it's hard to not watch them all. Missed the last months worth due to moving in Ted's town but will catch up today. Been watching since you were at the previous company where you made the lift system. Please keep posting you're doing great! I also like that you're humble like me and are not scared to work on multiple facets of the industry.
Nice work Rick. Thank you for the knowledge.
Great video as always Rick. Always learn something new. Getting ready to start new job doing commercial HVACR and have been binge watching all of your videos hoping to catch tips and tricks.
Thanks for the video Rick. Always a pleasure watching these!
Thank you so much for watching!
Great continent. Just an update on the 404A walk in freezer issue with the short cycle in summer.
I got on the roof to drop the cut out to 2 instead of 5 and found that the pressure switch is acting up. It was set all the way up to 8 psi before cutting out at -2psi. I adjusted it to shut off at 2 psi but that required me to brink the pressure control all the way up to 12 psi. I will be ordering a new one. Thanks for the advice and your time
I hate when they don't act up while your there. good catch!
For sure, I totally misspelled what I wrote in the previous message. Thanks again for your help
Take care
We're technicians, we're smart enough to read it a couple times and figure it out😆💪
"Not that happy stinky either" lol yeah I know what you mean 😂
🤫🤫🤫
Good ole Sunday vid ... Thx Rickster
Great job Rick, You tried your best.
Nicely done. Can't say i ever opened a start relay before. That was cool to see. Thanks for the video Rick
Taking things apart is how I learn
Nice job Rick! 👏
Thanks, my main man Stevo!
Great video! When the start capacitor is hot what I’ve found sometimes is the potential relay contacts are getting stuck closed and since those start capacitors aren’t supposed to stay in the circuit while the compressor is running they get hot. And then the compressor can get hot from more current flowing through the start winding than normal.
All sounds true to me.
INSTEAD OF FUMIGATING THE STORE WET THE CONDENSER FIRST!!!!!BEFORE BLOWING IT!!!!
Great video thanks 👍👍👍🇺🇸
The suction came up far too fast when you shut it off.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
🤜🤛👍👍
I THINK when that night shade is pulled down the dixell will run the machine at a lighter capacity for energy conservation, sometimes it'll be setup to raise the setpoint with curtain down, great video!
And the light on the controller was indicating night mode.
@@ericpaul4575 okay that sounds believable but you can't let the temperature get above 40° with milk in it? What changes in that mode?
Only thing I can think of is the number of defrosts. It would be safer to do a long defrost with the night shade down.
That shade connecting into the gray "temp sensor" and kills lights and puts to night mode aka knows shade is closed
@@HVACRSurvival night setback
Great video
Boy changing that compressor must be so much fun eh !
It was a real hoot. 😂
Binge watching all your videos as I'm moving from commercial AC no R to coolsys lol. Thanks man
That's awesome, I appreciate that. Isn't that the same company Brett Wetzel works for?
@@HVACRSurvivalyes Bret works for them.
@@HVACRSurvival it's a nationwide thing they bought out a bunch of other companies
When you pull down the curtains, there's a magnet at the bottom of it and it aligns with the switch at the bottom ( going from the top of the plastic bottom part ) to the digital input of the dixell.
It goes in eco mode/energy saving mode.
Thanks for the info👍👍
the only thing i would have done different would be checking the compressor ohns first. if it is in range, then the start components. i do like your workmanship.
🙏🤜🤛👍👍
Good lord. 3 condensor fans. 2 water evap pans. No room to work. Thats a unit i would not sale to anybody.
🙏👍👍
Cool, man
Hope you are doing well!
Good old AHT
I worked on one of these.
Parts are expensive for them.
The compressor was a pain in the butt to change.
I have an old Sears mini fridge, that's made by Sanyo. I don't know exactly how old it is, but it seems to be from either late 70's or early 80's. All I've had to do to it was replace the old mechanical thermostat because it was short cycling, so I put a digital one in. I also upgraded the efficiency by upgrading the insulation from fiberglass to styrofoam. The only thing that worries me is that the compressor gets up to 165°F. Do you think I should add a fan to blow air over the compressor?
The say the discharge temp should stay under 225*f
Checking temp prob
High pressure switch
Compressor
Should be check first
👍👍👍
What type of fluke meter is that? It reads hz too, ot looks like. That would probably be great for inverter systems.
Thats the Fluke 902fc, Its the hvac meter but I have the Fluke 376fc that has the feature that your talking about.
@@HVACRSurvival Thank you for clarifying!
Good work Rick
it was the technician! 🤪 that was easy to miss, but the sound of compressor on video was eww yuck. sometimes a camera/mic is better at picking up weird noises, it would be wise to record a clip moving around slowly and go listen somewhere quiet. it just may help save a headache😋
There's times I hear it but man if I'm wrong and I just make a guess at it.... that's $1000 to $1500 wasted and still don't have it fixed. So I'm always leery about condemning that until I'm for sure.
@@HVACRSurvival yeah, it's always a tough call.
So, are you guys with experience I have a question. It seems to me, as an outsider looking in, the HVAC business is basically changing filters and replacing bad compressors and bad T x v valves and And relays. With the side of don't fiddle with this compressor, don't stack stuff in front of the chiller units in the walk in coolers, and don't cut or poke holes in the evaporated coils so that all the coolant leaks out . Is that pretty much it?
😂😂 The same could be said of a family Dr. They prescribed medicine that has side effects that require more meds, they have someone else check your blood pressure, your pulse and weight. They look in your ears, listen to your heart and ask stupid questions like are you having money problems, feel safe at home or want to harm people? Sound familiar? Everything looks easy from the outside.
@@HVACRSurvival That's the truth . I know i'm not the one dragging tools Up the ladder, or we're trying to get my fat hands into the tiny space at they left for the compressor, or are you fill in the Blank!
The thing I try not to forget is that with all that experience, It just looks that simple . It doesn't figure in the thirty or forty plus years of doing it!
Don't forget most people needed to pick a career and the stuff I get paid for are things I use to do for free or fun. I have more freedom to do what I want and when I want then most careers. I've never had to worry about getting laid off or if my job will be made obsolete, It's been a recession proof, it's also a skill that I can do after hours if I wanted to make more money plus I'm paid very well.
It means night curtin is pulled down
It don't slide out?
Nope. Compressor hits plus other things were in the way
396 thumbs up
A cardboard shroud to a shopvac when blowing condenser?
They have one that's very similar to what you're talking about. It's made from actual tarp material. I was gonna buy it when I first started but the wet towel works fairly decent.
❄️👍💪🇺🇲🙏
