Working on a silver king region today point is that it's not tempting right. First thing I noticed I was looking to situate a close-knit evaporated, but look at the profit pattern same how, as long as Brock stood on the top part, all the fan mother isn't working. Something's funky here we're gon na, have to run most of the gauges on this guy and check out. That's weird house just frost up right there interesting interesting, and I want to point out.

You see all that home. I have to do that and I work on this box before and I noticed that there was massive air leakage around the evaporator cover so that cover basically pushing against this metal, but in a fertilized and a quarter-inch yeah. So I had to fill that phone and solve the problem. Someone else did a shitty job installing those captions.

I would like to employ one either. All the families are working. So one thing we'll check is we're gon na power this unit down and then turn it back on. Sometimes, when these fan motors are going bad, they won't start up so we're gon na check that before we do anything for this, I'm gon na power down and power back up and see if they all start up equally, because they should all be starting up at The same time see on the old fired back up his three families on they're, too big.

So what I'm going to do now is go ahead and put the unit into a deep Frost and then let that a little bit of frost melt and start it up and put some service gauges on it. An intersection thing I hate about this is this: thanks. Mom that bag did cleaning too bags, get stuck underneath back. If there is a leak up that shits in here, it's defrosted, it seems kind of a Frankenstein unit.

It's got a digital temperature controller, so I've got all defrosted just by putting it into a defrost. Turning off the compressor, putting the panel's back on so now before I secure everything. I'm gon na run the leak detector through here, just because I already have the evaporator opened up and I'll run it, and this is all before I even take off the service caps, because it's just gon na take me a second to leak check this. So don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Just do a quick pass underneath run up through there's a leaf. It'll show up with my leak detector, pretty quick! So I'm going to spend an hour doing this just a few minutes again. I've new my gauges on it yeah just doing this. I picked up a really big hit when I went in this side, it has a leak in there.

I've hit it like three times just top in the middle and a clown somewhere. It's there. Okay, if you know there is a leak in that coil somewhere, it's not going to be repairable, it's gon na be end up, replacing the whole coil, so I'm not really gon na spend too much more time. I know I picked it up multiple times in multiple spots over here over here down here, so there's something probably right in the middle leaking out, so we're gon na go and put the panel's back on.

I'm gon na go ahead and put my service gauges on this unit now and then see what the charge looks like I do these I like to make sure I haven't taken the service caps off. Yet, if you don't disturb them, then you get a good idea. If they're actually leaking and if they're a problem, these ones aren't showing anything, it's not showing up in here is actually full of water. So you'd think I would see it if it was leaking, but if I do do a repair, oh I didn't change that.

Guy hmm he's showing little leaks everywhere, huh this one. I really didn't it's a duplicate. I just pick it up every once in a while, we could be picking up something from here. You know remember that that evaporator has a leak and the water is dripping off.

Of it and dripping down into this drain, pan so sometimes you'll pick it up down in here. Okay, well we're gon na put some gauges on this, so it looks like we're a little low on refrigerant, like I thought, I'm just kind of using some rules of thumb here, because I haven't called the manufacturer. Ask him about refrigerant pressures yet, but I know that my condensing temperature should be 25 to 30 degrees above ambient ish more closer to 25. So what I'd like to see is over 74, 84, 94, so a little under on our liquid saturation temperature.

This again is just using my general rules of thumb and then our vapor saturation temperature is definitely low on this one. So we should be about 30 to 35 degrees below boggstown, we're 53° box temp right now, and we've got a negative six vapors saturation. So I'm gon na try putting a little bit of refrigerant in there get my pressures kind of where I think they should be see how the box does with that. Looking a little bit better put a couple ounces in there just watching it come down to tempo.

All right, so this was a service call on a silver king, drawer unit or reaching cooler. The customer's complaint was that the bottom section was not tamping properly and what I found was that the unit was actually low on charge. I pointed out a few things, though. Number one one of the flaws I see in the Silver King unit is that they there's that weird space in front of the evaporator coil, where there's no foam insulation on the coil guard or the cover that goes over it so about a year ago, I had A service call when this box was still under warranty and it was just a not temping properly and that's actually.

What I found was that the air was bypassing the evaporator coil and it was actually icing up. So I fixed that. So I just wanted to point that out. That's a really interesting problem on those silver kings, but this time I also pointed out the frost pattern on the evaporator coil.

When you see a frost pattern like that, it's you should kind of be a little more investigative and try to figure it out. Usually it's a refrigerant issue, because if it is frosting up on the evaporator typically, you want to see an even frost pattern on a reach-in refrigerator. You really don't want to see frost in general, but when and if you do even frost is a good indication of proper refrigerant charge. Okay, but if you see like a weird thing like it's only frosting right where the capillary tube enters and just you know, kind of like how mine was all the way across the top, that's a pretty good indication that there's not enough refrigerant in the system.

So what I actually did was, I topped it off with a couple: ounces got the unit operating and coming down to temperature and, unfortunately, for me the customer decided to go ahead and replace this unit. They don't want to repair it anymore. So once I give him a quote to replace the leaking evaporator coil, which I showed you guys when I found the leak in there and the new capillary tubes, and then I also went ahead and told them that if I was going to do that, I wanted To go ahead and replace that hot gas condensate drain pan heater, because if it wasn't, it wasn't leaking right now, but it's gon na leak here, pretty quick. So I wanted to do that too, but they opted to go ahead and replace the box.

They get those things for dirt cheap, so I'm not surprised. It just came out a warranty like six months ago, so it's pretty common with the chain, restaurants, where they don't want to repair these things anymore, because they just get them so cheap. So so that's that they're not gon na repair, it you know, and then you know we'll just go from there. Okay, I just want to say thanks a lot for taking the time to watch.

My videos really appreciate it. If you haven't already, please consider subscribing to my channel and then also right now, popping up are some other great channels that I think you guys should check out. Give these guys a shot and see what they have to offer too until next time. Okay, guys thanks a lot.
