Compressor Just Clicks, Been Like That All Day...

- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Saturday evening I get a call about a walk in cooler that stopped working mid day but needs service tonight. I find several issues and do what I had to do... Inefficient compressors waste energy and this is one of them. Leaking valves is a real condition that effects many compressors, for just $19.99 a month I'll send you a picture of a compressor in need 😉. JK But I'll take a like and subscription instead!

Respect to bossman Rick : late night call , middle of nowhere, gas station ( vulnerable to pretty much anything) , they couldn't even be asked to stay whilst he's fixing THEIR junk equipment, and he only bloody goes and opens up the flippin compressor !
I mean that's some dedication right there man , hat's off mate 👍 👏 👌
Dedication is right, Rick is Killin it
Your awesome Sterling! Thanks man!
The audacity: they have issues with it since early afternoon, they call you out at near 8PM and it's only cooling non-perishable cans of drinks. Surely it could have waited until the next day. Bloody hate these kind of customers.
Thanks Rick......that system needed a mechanic, not a parts changer to fix the problem. Excellent work!
Your to kind🤜🤛
nothing is more permanent then a temporary fix. 50 bucks says they will not replace his pile of junk until it actually blows up (on a sunday night) and demand you get a replacement unit in immediatly.
That's what I'm counting on. It's always big talk at the time they need you🙄
🤣 This is an HVAC fact.
It's really a treat to see someone demonstrate their repair talents on a reciprocating compressor and make adjustments only a very experienced tech could have done. You have a great ability to explain yourself so someone in the field can understand. Thank you!
Thanks Randy! I didn't think I had much to loose at that point because of how it wasn't looking good. But its still going, I haven't heard if they replaced it yet or not.
I love how you look at the whole picture and not just one item. You go through the system as best as you can. You sir are what separates the good technicians from the others. This industry is a love/passion. Not a 9-5 gig. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
I appreciate that! That was so nice of you to say! Have a great New Years bud!!! Thanks for the support it means the world to me!
SILLY Rick ... That fan was operating that way as part of the new AWEF Efficiency stuff things. It switches direction each time so that the coil can become equally impacted with dirt on both sides, and so that it can take turns blasting hot air into the side of the building to aid the buildings heating system efficiency! You screwed it all up now!! It's no longer 2023 AWEF compliant! Lol great video.
😒😁😉😉👍👍 I'm a rebel, what can I say🤣
hahaha "capacitor guts" you are funny. They couldn't face the fan to the side or install it a bit further away from the wall. No, they just installed it as close to the wall as possible. Heat rejection? no, that does not matter at all. When you ask your audience if they want to learn more about compressor diagnostics, the text below is totally blurred. Thank you for this video.
Oh I see. The fan was wired incorrectly. Never mind.
No I tried working the deal out with somebody that drugged their feet on getting me an answer to my proposal so I took their website off.
Thanks for talking your way through this one. I learned much more about semis than I did in school.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
You are working at night and still taking the time to teach us all along the way. Thank you, thank you.
You bet! I might as well have fun making money. 😁✌️
Great job. You are a great service tech. I enjoy watching you trouble shoot and explain your process as you go
Thanks so much!
You get a big thumbs up on that beast. It looks like a relic from the 50s
Thanks James🤜🤛👍👍
Rod bearings are shot. This is either from liquid slugging, oil entrapment, or both. That compressor is a boat anchor. I had a 3 HP Coplemetic throw a rod, due to poor oil return. I couldn't get replacement parts, so I had to order a new compressor. I will never forget walking into the local refrigeration parts store with a piece of metal. I showed it to the guy behind the counter and asked if he could get me one of these. He asked: "what is that?" Then, a fellow tech behind me in line said "it's a connecting rod". Those were the days. But the nice thing about those Coplemetics is that sometimes they CAN be serviced in the field. They seldom die unless they are installed in a poorly designed system, or the system is abused.
@John bond thanks for the feedback! I agree they are tanks👍
I like it when you can park your van right next to where you're working. A lot less walking
It made it much easier👍👍
I love the, Oh its been done most of the day but we wanted to wait till you were sitting down to dinner with your family before we call and demand your immediate attention.
Bingo, You got it!
Rick, that propane rack reminds me of one at work that states, "no smoking propane," with no punctuation. If I read that right, one would be allowed to smoke anything but the propane.😜
😲🤣🤣👍👍
Great job
Talk about being a field surgeon....you deserve the HVAC medal of honor for gallantry in the face of opposition. Lol
😁 I'm just learning everyday like everyone else, but thank you!
i like those K body compressor. they last forever. good job Rick
Yes they do!
Pretty cool. Nice job
Thanks for checking it out Jerry 👍👍🤜🤛
U teaching me a whole new world 🌎
Copeland used to sell just the valve plates in a kit that were complete and cheaper then buying all the parts and finding out your valve seats were corroded. But this was 20 years ago...! lol
Thanks for the heads up👍👍
Ricky she is kicking ass looks like the life span may not be long on this one Great video
She's having a bad day for sure!
That beast looks old enough to be from the time when auto reverse tape decks were all the rage. Clearly the fan motor never got the memo we use streaming now
🤣 tape search was the best.
Man I appreciate your videos. I do in house for 10 grocery stores in north Alabama and we have the same relics that you work on. Same ol motor rooms, 3 old stores with old hussman racks. It’s getting harder to find those compressors when they go out. They are usually a couple days out or you have to drive to Birmingham to get. Anyways love the videos and can relate to late night work.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I love hearing that I'm making a difference for someone!
"for just $19.99 a month I'll send you a picture of a compressor in need." LMAO
Awesome 🤣👍👍
Great service call there Rick you showed us all how to properly fault find and identify the faults and get it back working. Great job 👍👍
I thought it was going to be a simple in and out call, not worth recording. Lucky I did! Thanks do much for your support! Your feedback means a lot more than you know...
Gotta love the night time chain reaction calls....
Like the rash that wont go away ...lol
@@HVACRSurvival Or the moddle of the night dead battery in thermostat call at 2am
Been in Hvac for 7 years, Starting working on refridgeration the last year. Love the videos man really enjoy watching and it makes me a better tech
Thanks Hunter that means a lot man!
Nice view
Job well done Rick.
Thanks my man👍👍
Great video and great troubleshooting. Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey twisted! Long time no see. Live stream tonight!
Oh yes this brings back memories.
I remember working on a roof of a gas station on a similar hunk of feculence in the middle of winter around -20℃/ -4℉.
Due to the strong winds and the condenser not being against a wall the head pressure plummeted like Biden of the air force one.
I took the carpet from the staff breakroom and wraped it up like a chrismas present and it ran like that for a week until i had a piece of sheet metal fabricated to hinder the wind blowing through the condenser.
👏😍👍🥰🇵🇭 watching from Philippines
😁👍👍
Touch method 🍿
Excellent
So now I see what you're going to be advertising for Christmas a disaster in the Box. You made it another great video keep up the super work! Watch your fingers don't electrocute yourself you don't bounce back like Clark W Griswold
She's a real beauty Clark🤣👍👍
Great video doctor. U have wicked skills.
Thank you for supporting the channel👍👍🤜🤛
Thank god I am in a factory now. When I ran service I had a job that never ended it started when their transformer blew on the outside pole. Outside condenser had fried components and a bad fan motor, it was like 10 degrees outside snowing like a mofo. Had to use the bumper of my van so the ladder would not slide out. Then go inside and the defrost timer is fried . I go why why why me! I get that sorted out and the owner is like what about the heat? I take a look and the blower motor is burned up one of the phases at the transformer was flipped flopped I did not realize that until I put the new motor in and fired the unit up and it took off backwards and burned up causing smoke to fill the business. So I got another motor flipped a leg around on the contactor and was good to go. However now I need to fire up the air to make sure the compressor's are running right. I called my boss and said everything is fixed and I am taking tomorrow off.
I have had days like this, looking back they're funny but when they're happening you're ready to kill people.
@@HVACRSurvival You are correct , LMAOOOOOO
As you know, if a cap is borderline to do the job, once they warm up in temp it may be enough ufs to work. If you carry, you are prepared for the head choppers.
😉 I know nothing😎
Good job Rick.
Thanks for checking it out!
Nothing like those late on call service calls.. Another great video Rick👍
So do you agree it was loose discharge valves? It's weird it wouldn't hold vacuum at first, yet it pumps down when finished 🤷🤔. I'm still waiting on a response from Matthews.
@@HVACRSurvival It could of been something stuck on the valve plate and when you opened it up might of freed it. It is a small plate so any little copper shaving or anything could of gotten stuck.
That could be a new thing, have the fan reverse directions every so often so dust doesn't build up on the condenser.
It's already being done on True and several other brands.
You'd really like the one where it uses a automatic brush to brush off the coil. Believe it or not that's on one of the cheaper brands
The one time I tried removing that indicator from the sight glass, I found it to be closer to theoretically than actually possible. I almost ended up twisting the sight glass body free from the tubing!
You got to definitely use a 6 point socket, you cannot use a crescent wrench. But I know what you're saying they're in there tight
Love your videos and keep recording them.I subscribed you get thumbs up on all your videos
I really appreciate that Stephen!
You gotta love it when they p*ss off and let you all on your own, and if you get hurt , nobody would even know .
You just wanna tell 'em : hey look , if you can't be bothered neither can I , bye !
You got that right!
Great little service call right there! Seems like a good time to be carrying. I know I would be

That's some expensive champagne your filling her up with!🤣
Thanks again for the videos!

Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!
True and thank you!
Good one Rick 👍
Nice professional troubleshooting and repair
I truly appreciate you taking the time to comment and view the video🤜🤛👍👍
All I have to say is you're a "God damn technician".
Damn no 2 thumbs up option. We have to talk to someone about this.🤣
@@sherwinalvarez7365 🤣👍👍 thanks Sherwin! You da man!
Excellent video
Great little vid Rick😷👏👍✌Be safe out there especially in these days and times . When we gonna start doing live streams 🤔Thx ...
Tonight 8pm Eastern
Nice
Good
Beautiful
Nicely Done 💪great video!
Thanks Stevo! See you in a while ~
Nice job 👍 👍👍👍
Fine
good
I think it needs a new compressor good video 👍
We had quoted a new system last year, they told me they were going to call Monday and get that happening. But who knows what will happen now that they ran up a repair bill. Total waste of money by waiting🤷
@@HVACRSurvival some people just like to drag it out until something catastrophic happens
Are you sure that's gunk on the sight glass? It looks like yellowed plastic, to me, from heat and "outdoor" exposure.
This reminds me of a lot of late nights cleaning up leftovers in ceilings. I did some the other night - wires ripped out of the walls and just dumped into the ceiling, others that were in the walls but went nowhere.... I had to trace virtually all of them just to find the ones I need to fix, and add some new ones to make the doctor's office work properly. I'm sure you run into it a lot. "If the equipment isn't in service anymore, TAKE IT OUT!"
It could be from the sun? I see it in different neglected systems but glass usually will clean up. Not worth replacing if they were considering replacing the whole system.
@@HVACRSurvival I'm in the "Deep South" (Houston), so I see tons of yellowed plastic. It doesn't have to be in direct sunlight - from what I could tell of the enclosure, the entire front is exposed to the outside directly. It's just a 'shade' over the top, not a defense against the weather. That means UV will reach it, heat, cold, etc, etc. I guess it depends on if it's glass or plastic. I've never tried to break one to find out. You'd know more, not better, but at all, than I.
Such fun!
Wonderful
sir once finished your service call after explain little summery whole issue plzz
I do sometimes, But not every time because few people make it to the end of the video. I can see how long people watch and where they skip around,
Beautiful ❤️
Great video ✌🙏👍
Thanks bud👍👍
13:41 is that a credit card reader on the tyre inflator? They charge you for air? Crazy.
Yep, I haven't ever paid for it but there's people out there that don't have a air compressor or they get a low tire while traveling and might need it. The old days of free air is long gone for the most part
nice
Hows that 902 holding up? I like the 116, but don't want to carry 2 meters for just the Amp draw
I use the 902fc 99% of the time. It's not that often that you need the higher resolution. I only use my bench meter when working on generators or something that's not acting up for me.
wow, no wonder you don't mention were you are, no alarm in that store
It was left off till I was finished. I don't give out my locations so I protect peoples privacy.
Amazing 😍😍
Wow
dominoe effect of shitshow on that call man. haha
Living the dream👍👍✌️
How come the condenser fan cycles? Instead of staying on like most units.
Because it did not have a headmaster control.
Rick, quick question. Still green. Did you have to pull a vacuum on the compressor being that it was open to atmosphere.
Yes, I mentioned I did a quick vacuum, there's refrigerant boiling of the whole time it's open for a short duration but you still want to evac to be sure it's free of non-condesables
@HVACR Survival Copy thanx. Must have missed when you said that. Just wanted to make sure. We have to keep proper practices in this trade and im working towards being an OG like you one day.
Just keep learning everyday! We will never know it all, when you feel like you do, then it's time to find a new area of the field to learn. (I use to be like that and little did I know how little I knew ) stay humble 👍👍
Residential grade disconnect?
Cheap cheap. It works but it's not my preferred type. Price is everyone's concern around here
Do you love working overtime after hours ? Money
Not really anymore, It wasn't bad when I was younger.
I also hate that type of disconnect I don't know why everyone wants to use that cheap ass disconnect
Agreed 👍👍
Was the coil iced up on the second coil?
No, it was not running the compressor because the start cap was blown.
