So my name's on actually work hey guys so Tom Cole week for me and thought it might be kind of fun to have you ride along with me today, I'm actually going in a little bit early, I'm working the night shifts, but I get to come in Help my family out in the mornings, because I'm not available to dispatch til 1:00 1:30 today and I'm headed to fix my brother-in-law's AC. When I say AC, I'm talking about his work, trailer, AC, okay, so it works out in the back of a trailer cleaning blinds and he's got to have that trailer cool, because if it's not he's, probably going to be sweating while he's working in Florida, what I Mean and nobody's got time for that right anyways, so I'm going to go fix that AC in it at jump cool with working for family. You know on my own time as long as my company Kayla's, making a profit, I'm gon na be charging full price brothers. Brother-In-Law's full price, except for my mom Kayla's, not making a profit on my mom right I'll, be doing that on my own time and yeah, but anyways I enjoy working doing stuff for my family as long as I can get some food out of it.
What does it look like? Yeah, it's a camera and a picture. Oh, it sounds like you're saying, tipsy cuz, I'm not gon na be able to play really fine. You just can't get into it because they would never understand. How do you know which ones which which one are they're both called peepers? This is their their sad home, a see right here, and you near that near that motor I mean listen to that that motor has been over amping and whining for about a year and a half.
Now what I checked it quoted it last time and it's still going, but it it really is it's really a miracle. It's a sign and a wonder it's after the dryer. I know a lot of stuff. I know more stuff than your dad.
Does you think? That's true, probably not, but I probably know more than your mom right: yeah cuz she's, my younger sister, that's fair, yeah, yeah that'd be great. How much powers me where's this thing at up there? Oh, oh, let's get up there and see all right, Wow, Ruben you're! So strong Wow well horsey Superman. Did you see that I did see that Wow yeah? That's amazing! I'm gon na fly up not today. Even then on the weekdays we get to come in in the afternoon, we're working out late little catch-up time.
I could be working out two more on the front till 3:00 in the morning. Yeah. The only thing out, starting is our compressor and the wire diagram shows it does have start assists and following the wires back, it looks like it's gon na be down inside there somewhere. So I'm gon na head down inside the trailer figured out how this works.
We got our indoor half right here, seals off that way, evaporator pan and blower attached to the same motor. There's our condenser fan right out here and compressor capillary tubing as our metering device cool there. You can see all the way outside. So this is what your daddy works in Wow all right, so I'm gon na check for voltage going to my compressor for the board Wow. This is our thermal switch right here and it just sits on top of this compressor. This is all new to me so but sits on top of this compressor right here and then breaks power coming into our common, pretty cool so we'll test to see. If this is open across here and then it looks like we have a melted wire, which might be the only problem, that would be great. What is there just one thing to do? Nope, there's a lot of things to do see that it's probably a problem.
It's not enough not enough connection through that to actually start our compressor yep, so we're gon na clean that up and it can be pretty hard on a terminal. That's rusted out! You got to be real gentle with it, I'm trying to clean it up, and then I'm gon na use some electrical grease and terminal kit, and I have oh man, always try that what what's happening here comes my refreshments. That's why we're here? Good southern! I see it's so sweet. You could pull out a horseshoe.
I don't know how that go. So it really wasn't Smith. It's really sweet. I like sweet iced tea, almost as much as I like, unsweetened there's my tea.
All right, Ruben, I'm so excited the classic. Bert is filming myself drinking you there is. It actually is really good respect. Here's your compressor terminal kit right here and this screws down and pushes your Spade into the terminal.
You put your terminal on the top here right in this V and your Spade underneath just come closer and watch tighten the screw. It tightens down on to that. Oh that just repairing the heck out of it yeah what's up Reuben what food's ready all right thanks! So they would never their policies, never recommend replacement, just fixing it, but can you come up and grab the bowl and then go down and then bring it back to me? You need to learn. You need to learn something about the filming industry.
Yes, the filming industry is all about conforming to your audience regardless and if you want to have success on the way here, I told everybody. This is why I'm coming this hack job brother-in-law special right there. I had to cut out the side of that in order to get it fit that way. My thermal suits were still being pushed onto here so but it works its back together.
I did do you think I did a good job and now your daddy doesn't have to sweat while he works yeah I mean that's pretty spoiled and yeah we having to come in too early, so this guy that have a little sweat under his armpit. I'm fixing stuff where you love, like I'm fixing stuff. What are you doing? That's fun.
Poor little girl. She just wanted to play. 🥺😂
OMG! Gotta love the puppy!

Really enjoy your videos. Just hope that the blue conductor don’t short out in to that copper that is touching. Hopefully that’s not the discharge line of the compressor 💥💨
