I like the electrical walk thru. Especially ladder diagrams. Im a newbie, i feel its safe to say for the rest of my tribe, it is what we lack most. They pump this stuff into you at school but you never get a full understanding. That little explanation helped a whole lot. I appreciate your videos bro. I watched all of them during the pandemic. It took 3 weeks.
I’m a newbie as well, and it was nice to see a ladder diagram on a machine that’s easy to interpret. I myself just completed a 10 month accelerated HVAC-R course at SJVC. The amount of stuff they cram into your head in such a relatively short time is no joke lol! I think I lucked out in the sense that I mostly understood all of it. My head still hurts from it! 😂
Thanks to the UA-cam algorithm, I've been binge watching your videos for a couple weeks. Let me see if I can properly write your job description: part electrician, part plumber, part welder, part general mechanic, part exterminator, full detective, part cleaning tech, part salesman.
As far as the food goes, most of your bulk items will be fine. First thing in the morning, prep cooks are going in and out, maybe even propped the door open for 20-30 minutes while they were setting up. As long as the call is made while the food in still in temp they’ll be fine. I’m really enjoying watching these videos. Was in the restaurants for 14 years and I have NEVER a HVAC guy put this much care into their units. And I was the guy that would call and tell you I had a fan motor not turning or a bad belt and send you a text with model numbers.
Thanks for showing the schematic troubleshooting. Very helpful in learning your ways which are the RIGHT ways to troubleshoot. Like you said you never willy nilly pushing or pulling things before you see the big picture. Excellent video
Hey HVAC pro!!! I’ve been watching you channel for a few days now, I just wanted to say I really appreciate your attention to detail and how easy it is to understand your “lessons”. I’m a building engineer and you have blown all the HVAC techs I have had to deal with. I wish one of them had half the skill you have lol. Outstanding work. THANK YOU for your time and doing these videos!
please keep doing videos like this. love the trouble shooting. im still in school and wanting to do commercial and this really helps. thank you for your knowledge!
You don't mess about do ya,, it's great to see a professional who cares about his customers and wants no recall work unless it's a service,, and if that's how you approach a fault you can bet your maintenance service skills are the same, great stuff I'm not your dad but I'm proud to be watching your work ❤️👍
9 times out of 10 a beat up contactor won't show a voltage drop, but a seasoned eye will prevent a bigger problem down the road, good call Chris. Also, for techs trying to get into the refrigeration side, this is a good video of a basic system.
Nice, clear, logical description of the troubleshooting process. BTW, best way to wash a ball cap is in the top rack in your dishwasher. They sell holders meant for this purpose, to retain the shape of the hat, but I just put them on an old plastic colander that I don't care about. Gets them nice and clean and they don't fade.
around 4 weeks into my hvac class and I understood everything you did and im on gas heat right now. the way you explain things is perfect and easy to follow. great video as always i got some great pointers from this video.
This channel has expanded my knowledge as well. My father has an hvac license and teaches me a little bit of stuff. Since he only needed it 15-20 years ago for a maintenance job he doesn’t know or remember a ton about these commercial units. I’ll never need any of this info but it’s good to learn and try to apply to residential units. That’s what I play with.
Thanks Chris for taking the time to go through a schematic thoroughly. I'm a tech of 9 years, both install and service and i still struggle with electrical!! Thanks for clarifying dude, you are a good teacher and made alot of sense. Stay safe!
Been doing this type of work for 25 years,I have seen hundreds of thousands of dollar$ in damage to coils from the more coil cleaner is better guys.Also have seen age related brittleness.I would say out of 40 guys in our area,10 know how to properly was a coil and use the proper cleaner as well as take the time to rinse it thoroughly! Great Videos!
Nice to see that you didn't forget how to read a schematic, lolol. Great to show that once in a while to show new guys how to do it. Good call on the contactor could be a call back and customer not happy. Great video Chris. See you tomorrow night on the show. Thank you for the video.
Im halfway through the video, & gotta say the troubleshooting details you giving are just exceptional. I'm really following and understanding .. keep up the good work man
@@etherealrose2139 , you're right the same principles do apply but we don't have the same little package units and our electrical switchgear is mostly 230V single phase control, and our main voltage is 400V 3phase. We still use some of the refrigerants that HVACR wouldn't be allowed to use in California, and on the refrigerants that we do have in common we seem to run much lower discharge pressures........ to name a few differences between the way we do it
Went to buy L/XL hat, but there gone! Great videos, very clear and descriptive on what the goal is and why. Installer for 4 years, now I’m 1st year service. You set the standard a lot higher then a lot of techs, your the journeyman tech I pursue to be
You’re videos are by far the best on UA-cam. You break things down so well. I love watching your videos. Keep up the hard work! I will definitely be buying a hat or shirt.
Personally I LOVED the walkthrough steps for the electrical system. It REALLY helps me to understand the system and how easy/hard a job like this can be. If you can, I personally would want you to do that often. Learning how things can go wrong is actually really fun, plus I can know questions to ask for if something like this happens to me.
Watching all these videos helped, just looked at my dehumidifier and wondered why the pump wasn’t running, thinking it turned off under high pressure and it was dirty, took it apart and low and behold, a ton of lint built up over the past at least 15+ years. Looked like dryer lint, cleaned it off and boom, much more efficient. Thanks.
Brilliant diagnostics,, potential difference that's led you to find a control problem excellent stuff,, I'm a security and fire security engineer, these principles are fundamental to all aspects of electronic/electrical engineering, love watching your videos,,, GB❤️👍
No one will ever know how these videos have helped guys like us in the field to build a level of confidence in the work! I have been able to help so many customers in North Carolina in this rural area just by following the steps and advice you have offered! Thanks for posting these videos!!!
Its cool you went thru the schematic for us learning. Was very informative hands on..All your other videos are great as well but this one was more like you said "stepping back". So thanks.Keep up the great work
I whole heartedly appreciate the effort that you put into these videos Chris. I've learnt so much just by watching your videos, keep up the good work buddy!
Since you are teaching a bunch of new people on electrical safety it is a good idea to also throw a LOTO on that main breaker when you were changing the contactor.
Are you kidding me?? Mannn, do not think you were redundant going thru the legend and wiring. That was ultra sweet! One : Great job! Second : Great video and walk through. That one has a permanent place in my archives.
I love you man, you should really put out your own HVAC book talking about your experience on the field, tips, best practices, I don’t know I’ll be the first person on buying it.
I love watching your videos. You make them so informative in how you walk us through every step of what you are doing. It makes me sweat to sit here and watch you in that thick long-sleeved on those 100+ degree rooftops!
I would like to have more of the cleaning of the coils videos. I will never be an HVAC tech but I like seeing the grease and lint being washed out. Do a duo channel, one with explanation and an extended channel with all the gunk that comes out. Don't waste footage. Rivers of mud are great.
@17:00 is the replaced condenser motor vibrating because of a blade imbalance... that will cause the motor mount bracket to fatigue and fail eventually.. excellent video...
It was oddly satisfying watching you clean that condenser out. I'm not sure if you watched the entire footage while editing, but it was a good example of how a condenser that doesn't look filthy can still benefit from a cleaning. Even without the thermal issues with that contactor, the pitted contacts would have been a failure point very soon, and result in a (probably angry) callback if you _didn't_ catch it on this visit. And, from the uninformed client's point of view, you "fixed" it and then it "broke" again, and I'm glad the client decided to have you replace it ahead of time. Always better to be proactive than reactive.
Curious HVAC Guy just posted a video the other day with the same kind of failure. I think it was even the fan on the same side LOL. Also the background noise while you are on that roof is kinda relaxing. Just something about the pitch of the various motors and the fan noise.
Your getting really professional as an instructor, which is tough to do while you are trying to solve a problem, they way you detailed how to follow the diagram and test is an excellent example of how to trouble shoot a problem, versus shotgunning it. Keep up the good work. I have put it on my bucket list fly out to where you are and ride shotgun with you for a day, if you are willing to do that.
Always happy to see the torque wrist make an appearance, click!!!! Yes, show more schematics, I spends hours looking at schematics for fun, seriously. I haven't seen many bigger unit schematics and still curious to a few videos ago with the three phase feed and only two pole contactors, maybe three phase and single phase equipment spread across the three phases? But I saw a three phase compressor and only two, two pole contactors.
@@FishFind3000 I always get a chuckle in the Terminator movie (not sure which one) when Arnie and the kid are in the desert putting a new starter motor into the pickup truck, and Arnold asks for the torque wrench. I would have thought a cyborg would have been able to torque a nut and bolt without having to rely on something he picked up at Harbor Freight.
When it comes to food temps, it mostly depends on what the food is. Beer/wine/liqueur doesn't really care about storage temp for the most part. But foods like meat, cream, coleslaw, cheese, ect must be kept below a certain temp. Once those foods go above that certain temp then it becomes a health risk and the store is suppose to trash or claims (refund) them. Often enough that just means tossing everything in the trash and eating the loses. A single power outage or bad cooler part can lead to a store losing thousands in wasted foods. In the store I work in the cutoff temp is 50F for refrigerated foods. 60F air temp might be acceptable for a while depending on local health standards, but it really comes down to the food temps instead of air temp. Odds are. A 60F air temp for a number of hours shouldn't have ruined what food I seen in that cooler. Over night or a whole day? Then yeah, that's getting too close for comfort and likely lost raw meats at least. Other foods are more forgiving, more so if they are still sealed.
I wonder if you would be able to find a good time to explain the full cycle of refrigerant in a system like that. and explain things like superheat and which parts are at what pressures. keep up the awesome work!
The left cage the motor is mounted to is wobbling around a little (easy to see around 16:42). I wonder if an uneven blade could cause that (or a weakened mount?) and possibly caused the failure of the previous' motor bearings (due to the gyroscope effect putting pressure on the bearings).
Loved the washing was nice to watch, I'm surprised you didn't ask to swap the other motor out at the same time just to be safe, but yea good call on the contact heating up
Alot of comments on your torque method,I look at it this way,if you have been doing this work long enough you twist the screws until you just flinch from the pain in your wrist,that's usually good.We didn't always have the fancy schmancy drill drivers!
Your video have been really eye opening. Ive wired a few hundred houses but didnt realize how much electrical, especially troubleshooting, goes into HVAC work. A whole lot more than just banging tin huh?
I found it quite funny that I finnished this video and I see technology connections posted a new video and in that video he referred to this channel for a more indepth veiw of how AC systems work.
I don't even do HVAC but I learned how to make my home AC run better and the troubleshooting is great! Electronics are electronics :) Also need my own torque arm
I would have suggested to replace the other fan motor as well (customer can say no but should remind them both have had same service time so the other one could fail at some point in the future and result in the AC unit shuting down again and loss of product)
Chris, I said it before and I’ll say it again: please, please, please start performing a meter prove in the isolator (or on a proving unit) after testing for dead. One day, eventually, your meter will be on current or ohms and for sure it’ll say zero when you test for dead (as the internal fuse will be blown). Murphy’s Law says that’ll be the time you have one blade stuck closed in the isolator ⚡️ Be safe bud.
This is something I always always do. I had a crappy Uni-T meter once that had gone faulty and showed zero even with voltage present. Good job I'm in the habit of checking a known live first. It does happen people!

Man, I need to get me one of those AvE torque screwdrivers. “Errrh, click”. :) Much love, great video.
I don't know anything about HVAC or fixing them.....but I find a dirty coils getting cleaned satisfying AF
When I use to do HVAC it was my favorite thing to do. It was satisfying af.
Dirty coils and plugged condensate drains... Both so satisfying to watch.
This video is soooo satisfying. You gone turn the whole world into HVACR Professional. Good teachings brother!

I believe he meant inch pounds. 40 ft pounds is correct for a 7/16 grade 8 bolt.
That's the new model, it has Google Assistant.

Thanks again Chris for the junior techs out there , in showing the fine points on doing a proper service call !
Watching from South Africa, really interesting to see the same principals applied, even though alot of our equipment is quite different
Doubtful. It's likely identical. There's really only one way to do cooling, it's pretty universal as of right now.

Good job. You knew what it was right away but you showed the steps anyway. Very informative!
Love the explanation via schematics-- likely obvious to a lot of us, but no one should mind a refresher course and the students must ADORE it.

Are you sure about the torque settings on the contactor? I think the specs will be INCH-Pounds, not FOOT-Pounds. (at 14:46)
V C The torque screwdriver is calibrated to take that into account...

Murphy’s Law says that’ll be the time you have one blade stuck closed in the isolator ⚡️ Be safe bud.
This is something I always always do. I had a crappy Uni-T meter once that had gone faulty and showed zero even with voltage present. Good job I'm in the habit of checking a known live first. It does happen people!
