So they're else for you to look at a reach-in freezer. Look at this condenser. It's just hammered you open up in here. You can hear the things low on there in front.
I can also tell that the evaporator fan motor is going bad because it's not moving as fast as it should that's. True. Thanks got an aftermarket temperature controller. Both the doors are bad because they don't shut on their own and when you slam one the other one, pops open, that's no good and then yeah refrigerant pressures are extremely low.
It's about 78 degrees in this kitchen right now, so we're gon na add some refrigerant. There's nothing I could do about that condenser! That's too brittle! I'm gon na try my best to clean it. I just kind of have it tilted over a pant extra coil cleaner on there, the backside, it's really polishing a turd right now. So just do my best to cool it off, try not to get it into the timeclock section.
I can't really pull the other box out to unplug it, so I'm just kind of doing this on the fly, while it's in deep rust, okay, I cleaned it up. As best as possible, it's still just hammered. I've tried straightening it, but it's just it's too hammer straightening anymore, my head pressures a lot better. My pop or my saturation temperatures really love, because my favorite mammal are spinning too slowly again.
I don't want to dump a bunch of money into this. I just want to kind of half-ass get it running so that way I can get my big picture whoa. They can make the decision so far. You need top or bottom and top doors.
We need condenser, but I'll just change the whole condensing unit. This is things hammer. It's missing all the crap, the temperature controllers wrong on the box. The drain pan nipples bus stitch yeah this thing's just hammered the front cover right here - is completely missing, and so is the so, along with that is the switch the door switch.
The wiring hardware for the door switch is missing. This thing is just hammered doing an emergency leak, repair they're, replacing this box, but they just need it running temporarily. I knew there was a leak in the line set somewhere, so I just cut out the back temporarily real quick. They don't really care this right here.
On the cap, tube is a pimple go see if we can't repair it temporarily again, like I said this is not a normal fix. Normally, I just run a new line set on the inside of the box. This is a true stand-up. Freezer customer just needs four weeks because they've already ordered a new unit.
Everybody's got a little hack in them right god. I haven't done something like this before again. This is only a temporary repair. I just didn't feel like cutting the whole box and running a whole new capillary tube.
This is not perfect. Yes, it's gon na flash right here, but yeah it'll get him going like I said, they've already ordered a new unit. What happened was the manufacturer doesn't have any of them in stock or where they're distributors i and it's gon na, be four weeks to get the left hand, hands box and they want to go back with one of these, so they've already ordered it, but they just Wanted me to do whatever I could do to get it operational. So this is what I came up with so now. I'm gon na pressure test. It make sure it holds I'm doing a purge on the system, so I've opened it on the high side, letting it push through the capillary tubes, making sure they're, clear, there's no obstructions and the cap tubes now making sure it comes out of here. Then we put it on this - is nitrogen and then we're gon na press, your testing system, no hammer at the scene of this get over that the pressure test, I'm going way over what I should be putting in there to the design pressure. The unit isn't that high for the low side, but okay, so this was a service call with my new customer that I've made a bunch of videos about where everything is just destroyed.
Reach and freeze are not working. I found tons of stuff wrong with it. Okay, bad doors, limit switches, bypass wrong temperature controller condenser cover missing condenser hammered refrigerant leak. It's just destroyed.
Okay, my recommendation to the customer was replaced this box - I don't even I didn't even give him a quote to fix it. I just told him this cannot be fixed it's time to replace they agreed with me. They trust me. They ordered a new box.
He called me back about two days later said dude. I cannot get that box for four weeks. We need an an operating freezer, so I went back out there and just got the unit going okay. This is not a normal repair.
There's nothing correct about the way that I repaired, that you don't ever cut a cap tube. Okay, the quarter-inch line that I put in between the cut that's a flash point where it's gon na flash and then try to go back to it. It's just a disaster, okay, but it got them operational. The unit is operating temporarily.
The customer was extremely happy and thankful. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Okay, everybody's got a little hack and I'm, like I said alright, that's it guys. Consider subscribing to my channel.
Give me a thumbs up. Leave me a comment. Let me know what you think appreciate you guys's feedback; okay.
I did this more often than none 🥺
Time to replace this cooler or freezer
You call it hack. I called it creation.
true equipment is shit to work on.
how many things can be broken and the freezer is still running…
I like your business practice some one else would of said put it in the alley i dont have time to fix the garbage box . But something like that always goes a long way and is great for your reputation and business.
would u reomcned TRUE freezers?
Yes everyone has a little hack in them love it
That RIF is on life support. Cant raise the dead.
Your videos have been a big help for me.
Thanks a lot!
We call em temporary permanent fix.
I just started watching your videos. Great content. Straight-to-the-point informational and never a stale moment.. keep it up
Seen worse, but damn is there anything you didn't mention? 3g or less new 5yr on comp. hope they take better care of new one.
Good work. I take care of the food service equipment in a state prison here in Missouri. I always hacking shit back together. There is so much red tape just to get parts. It sometimes takes 6 months to get a part. Equipment only gets replaced once yearly and that is limited to budget restraint. I had a 20hp discuss compressor the bearings we're going out in. It was loosing oil pressure and tripping the safety. I bypassed the safety and that thing ran another 3 months before it locked up. I couldn't believe it!
Polishing a turd….that was too good…
Multiple offender! Are you in Kanata ?
You should of brought some torches out to melt off all that grease with a water bottle spraying it to prevent it from catching on fire.
My experience has been that cooking grease just destroys equipment. After a point it's junk. That one is there. Then comes the imported junk. There's not much fix to them either
Capitol budget is blown until end of 1st qtr 2019…. have all sorts of turds to polish to get the grandstand open for Thanksgiving. The joys of seasonal F&B!
Did what you had to do to get the customer out of the pinch if the box was ordered. If the customer was honest about ordering the new box your repair made you look like a hero who saves the day.
Why don’t they just have an access panel?
.
We’v had many of those True reach ins with leaks in the buried line set when we asked about just r7nning a line set outside the cabinet we were told NO . Something to do with the school dept prohibited that. Weird???…True makes a fix for this with a painted piece of tin and notching the shelving…
"Everyone has a little hack in them" that is awesome! It is true too. Sometimes you have to pull out the hack card for the customer. It is not a perfect world. Great job as always man.
Cool worked on one and changed out clock. Usually work on delfields. Thanks again for the vids
Right overall judgement and a more than justified "hack".
good fixed.
Amazing job. How did you manage to pinpoint the leak in the lineset? I've never seen that before (cutting the box to get to the lineset).
You should do a video on common refer service hacks! I'm interested to know what other tricks you've used to get by in desperate situations. I've never thought of cutting into a cap tube for repair! Pretty interesting, man. Great work, again 🤙 Service area Barrhaven??
Dont worry man we all have to do what we have to do sometimes. Good temp fix. I work hotel maintenance so I do a lot those just keep the masses happy. They dont wanna spend money so you have to come up with shit lol
Nice job!!!👍🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼working that magic
Fun times. It’s good to hack stuff. Restaurant shuffle. 👍👍 Service area Nepean??
Looks like a good temp fix to me!!! Service area Orleans??
daam bringing the dead back to life
Nice video thank you. Chris what brazing or solder do you use to install an aluminium cap tube to a copper filter drier? I appreciate any information,.Thank you Ron white Are you in Orleans ?
Good temp fix!! If that was here they ask if it will hold I'd say yeah but you need a new fridge….
To replace a cap tube on that type unit, you need to cut out the back of the box like that but all the way to the top?
Do you ever replace cap tube with TXV?
only thing worth keeping is the temp control Are you in Barrhaven ?
Slam Bam Thank you Man! Getting er done. You got it going at all costs. Good job!
es un garron cuando la perdida esta dentro del gabinete espumado, aveces estas horas tratando encontrar la perdida…Gran video chris Service area Kanata??
