THEY DIDN'T WANT A BIG PICTURE REPAIR 

I love when they say it’s not working, then you open the drawers and it’s completely loaded with product

Gotta love when they know the box isn't down to temperature but they keep the food in it anyways. I know food is good for 6 hours when it gets past 41 degrees but I bet we all know that wasn't the case here.

I don't have this happen often that they don't approve repairs or further diagnosis.....but when it does happen......✌️✌️✌️✌️....and on to the next one. The heating and air works at my house. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THE HVACR FAMILY

Where I worked, they had a capital construction remodel done in the food service and culinary arts areas(a college). Walk-in coolers and freezers were added with remote condensing units installed on the roof. This work was done by contractors who were part of the bids for the remodel. I always had problems with these during cooler and winter ambient temps (in the Buffalo, NY area). After the warranty time, I had to figure this out since the contractor techs just topped off the charge all the time. I got all the info on the units, researched them and got it down to the head pressure control valves. I tested the valves and had two bad ones I had to replace. Comes down to, the installers never added the extra winter charge. So I recovered each unit and then recharged them to include the winter charge in addition to the normal charge, following the service manual for the unit model numbers. I never had problems like that after doing the proper charges.

Back in Europe there's no such option for the customer to deny a leak check. If the system is low on charge they're obliged to let us do it due to the f-gas regulation. As I've mentioned earlier we can't just gas and go w/o presenting any leak repair...

Horrible that they don't let you fix the refrigerant leak. 👍👍

Great Video Chris! Our Biggest customer finally increased their NTE so we can fix most leaks firat time, however the HVAC system is another story. We can only do what the customer will allow.

God I hate how the short numbers game trumps better judgement.

"Heat producing device" lol, love it. Great video as always! excellent breakdown of everything as you work along

Be back again awesome video compressor burn out happy holidays to you and your family

There can be only one king, the others are usurper valves.

Happy Thansgiving to you and your family.

Hi Chris, I can’t tell you how much I’ve l learned with your videos keep them coming GOD bless you and your family

The next time they may be need to replace the new system due to more leak and compressor damage.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's customers sometimes delay the final repair...

I want to say thank you for your videos and happy Thanksgiving to you

king valve and queen valve? Is this chess or the refrigeration kingdom!

Can’t win them all. But customer is king.

Nice Video. Last drawer you closed looked like it had no gasket! Would like to see how you check superheat at each coil when the coils are that small and all on same unit? I get that wasn't the problem here, but if I have lowboy drawer set up and change one coil/txv its hard to check sh because of the common suction, one valve could be overfeeding/underfeeding.

You have a great Thanksgiving too!

Leaks don’t go away!

i figure they should at least allow you to quickly probe and find the leak that way when you have to return for the repeat issue if it should be especially slow at that time you get there maybe you could repair the leak before things get slammed

Unfortunately the Employees Don’t give a Crap about Damaging the Equipment because they Didn’t have to Pay for it. May treat things they Bought, Better. 🤔

huh i never unsubbed you i was wondering where you went.. weird.. I am back though lol love the content

Great Video. Have a nice weekend and Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing

Wow the holidays... hmmmm thats when I used to get the most refrigeration service calls for milk and Icecream truck cold hold units ans Thermo king refrigeration units... more meals and sleep interrupted at those times weekend and holidays

Your videos are great 👏 had a friend reccomend your channel and it's brilliant 🎉

Waiting for that Food Inspector call to come in. They are in SO much trouble then...

They want to gas N go fine. easy money but at the same time it's gonna break and they will call at 3AM that they need it fixed asap before they open.

what do you think ,about suction pressure regulator ?

I don’t remember the actual wording of the regulation but at what point are they pushing EPA regulations by refusing to leak check and repair?

Well, since the customer wanting to wait, he’ll get the extra 1/3 more cost added to this visit. Solves that problem.

So in this case the solution to floodback was to partially close the suction service valve?

08:50 Here you can see clearly that there is quite a big offset between the IR image and the visible light image when the camera's software overlay the 2 images together. I'm sure you use other methods to verify the results, but it would be nice to be aware of this issue, and orient the camera such that the parallax does not affect the accuracy of your measurement. 👍

Pay a little now or pay a lot later it always works that way

Aren't they aware of the fact that knowingly releasing that stuff into the atmosphere is against the law. What's the thought process? Get the EPA to pay for the fix?

Please let me know which camera do you use for the IR reading. Great video Chris!

That is what is the most upsetting to me all they want pore gas in it get it up and running they don’t want to fix whats costing them money time after time in the long run. 🙄. But happy T day to you and family

On package units that have the manufacturer stats label . When it says test pressure 175 psi is that while the compressor is running or off ?

Roto lock suction valve

Of course they're gonna want a Band-Aid solution, being so close to the end of the fiscal year. The better their profit margins, the better -their bonuses- their financial outlook for the coming fiscal year, which is something investors and shareholders care about more than anything.

Cause no one is more important than the King. He can stop everything.

out of curiosity.. have you ever heard of or worked on an american event services A/C unit or chiller? would likely be for sunbelt or united rentals..

Yeah, the king valve is always on the receiver's outlet.

Need to purge the hose or no need

That loud compressor noise was from floodback? It sounded more like a scroll compressor going bad

Would it be wish to start working on bigger systems? This small stuff.... Simpel, cheap, not much repair budget

50* is NOT low ambient. The system will not migrate until closer to 0*F

Would the long defrost time from 1am-3am on that defrost timer cause the box temperature to rise?

I dont not what it is about refrigeration the I liked really bad i work on refrigeration company and is ben the best fill to work.

You can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink it 😢

ALWAYS a problem with filthy low boys that never get cleaned out .. Pinhole coil leaks are ALWAYS present in those when they let the rotting food build up in the back. And they never have time to clean things until the health department gets involved .

Hey Chris I noticed you never show how you heat the receiver. Are you using your torch ??

Sounds like this customer's fiscal cycle ends in November/December so you get to deal with it as a consequence

And that would leak detector doesn't work you need to find one that does everybody's knows that one doesn't work now it's expensive but it just doesn't work

Has anyone out there had to take a customer to small claims court? A major hotel chain has owed me 1100 for almost a year now. The damn manager has several copies of the invoice that I've personally delivered over the last 10 months. Any suggestion

By law in Europe we have to remove the remaining refrigerant and isolate the unit. Doesn’t leave them much choice 😂

Those are the restaurants i do not eat at. Just saying.

Why don't you show us your"heat producing device"😂😂😂 I get it, you don't want anyone to know you use a torch on a pressurized cylinder

Typical restaurant push the problem down the road

I find it so odd seeing some of the things that you do. Here they banned single use gas bottles, as well as if you know the system has a leak you are not allowed to put gas in it. we aren't allowed to put in chasing gas either to check for leaks on an empty system either.

here is the deal it's their money if they want to waste it in the long term so be it more money for us

My picture is bigger
