I appreciate these videos a lot . I went to hvac school two years ago . Been in residential since and been trying to get into refrigeration for the last year but no one will hire me without experience so I like to stay fresh when someone finally takes a chance on me
Thanks Dave for the control wiring for walk in box and freezer. Its easier for me to follow your videos when i know the operation of sequence and wiring details
Informative and basic. Nice job. I'm retired now, but travelled multiple states taking care of industrial, institutional, and some commercial accounts. Also helped with apprenticeship training. (Ran EMS, rescue, fire, and had the privilege of flying with a helicopter service to unwind after dealing with architects and engineers at my 'real job'. Might touch on wild leg sometime to clear that up for folks, preferably not using it for your control circuit, and the oil pressure/ low pressure controls. Nice video --
Do I hear in your voice a rewire job? Or perhaps following someone else's install, and left wondering how the installer can breathe unassisted. I had that yesterday, and ran into just what you were saying about the disconnect on a brand new install. I know I've been away for a while but a WIF set up for a WIC, and the Ranco ETC sensor right on the evaporator. The customer was very angry because the installers couldn't figure out how to covert it. Oh joy, I didn't miss this. Disconnect corrected, moved t-stat sensor, fans wire for always on, heating elements disabled, and left instructions in evaporator and condenser for easy conversion back to WIF operation if needed. Now we are back to carry out only in Michigan. So you know they will keep the freezer condensing unit. All that capacity going to waste, but the customer is happy he has a WIC that works.
Thanks for this Nor-Cal! I love your videos. I'm a residential guy looking for more in depth info on refrigeration and this is stuff I need. Can we see more about charging procedures please?

I love this vid! I’ve been a refrigeration tech for about 5 months now and The only part that gives me trouble is sometimes people re wire and I’m not able to follow the wiring diagram anymore
Dude with teaching skills🔥 like you have you would make an ideal kindergarten teacher🍺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾….Have you shot a video like this for a more advanced system??? Many thanks Sir
Thanks for the basics. Also I can add set the low pressure cut out above vacuum on those scroll compressors if they pump down to a vacuum it kills them quick, right? Use your gouges to set the lpco switches.
Very good vedio...if you get a chance please will you make another vedio for head pressure troubleshooting on top units and how to fix that issue. I seen this problem a lot compressor turned on for a seconds then shuts off over and over...thank you
Hey man great video! Got 2 evaps on 1 condenser. The evaps have pre mounted tstat and solenoids. I've piped them in bull nose style and I'm onto wiring. How would a man make both solenoids open off 1 tstat?
Can I wire a back loader cooler the same way😜 This is confusing, i have 240v at the evap and 400v at the unit.. Just kidding Great video.. You are the man Dave
Great video, I just had one question, for the solenoid valve. I re watched the video many times. So you land L1 for the solenoid valve on N.O ??? I thought it would go on N.C since the solenoid valve opens when energized and is in the N.C position when when it’s not energized by the Tstat… can you you explain that. Thanks in advance
At 11:45 mm:ss, "On a recip, it doesn't matter which way it goes". I said that once, to an restaurant owner and his hired electrician, (who the owner hired to install the 3PH circuit). The electrician answered, "He doesn't know what he's talking about". I said: "Oh Really!? Careful Sparky! Your weaving out of your lane!!!" The educmacation ensued, and I got my apology!!
@@throttlebottle5906 Yes. It was his arrogance and disrespectful comment that got him dressed down. He was the one who didn't know what he was talking about and was accusing ME of it, TO the customer. He deserved getting dressed down. NEVER bad mouth a tech, TO the customer.
Hi Dave, Just have a question. Why after the solenoid closes, the pressure in the condenser goes down? Isn’t it the solenoid closes, the pressure in the condenser should goes up, just like when you have a liquid line restriction, the pressure in the condenser will rise. Please advise. Btw, this video is awesome. Thank you very much.
Awesome explanation,Dave. May have 1 or 2 other questions after you answer this. We have a new heatcraft model where the thermostat is built in. Do you have any pearls of how to wire that? Thx.
Awesome Dave! I forgot what purpose was for reverse p-trap of line set above the roof to the condensing unit and you already have p-trap suction riser coming out of the evap coil below?
to help return oil to condenser (compressor), also many area require a tall roof boot at the penetration, so the lines generally go up high and then back down lower ( heavy rain, snowfall, plugged roof drain area) underwater line set penetrations can end up a new roof drain :) ** also forgot to say, a long horizontal(maybe sloped the wrong way on the roof can pool oil in the bottom, drain back to and down the vertical without the inverse trap at top. if it's short horizontal, doesn't matter as much.
what if you didn't have a T-stat or solenoid valve on the evaporator, less problems, couldn't you control box temp with the LP control on the condensing unit? last time I checked, pressure is temp... did this stuff for thirty years...
🇺🇸👍💪❄🎸🎤 hey Dave if u turn off the switch inside the walkin box will the compressor stay off or is there a chance it will still run or come on ? This is your doing work inside box.
My company buys all the refrigeration units from United. The wholesaler will match up the units using the data provided by Trenton, Copelend, and Tecumseh. I choose the piping based on the size coming from those units. If the condensing unit is above the evaporator or it is a long line set, I may drop a little on the suction size to get velocity needed to bring the oil back. This is how I was trained by my mentor. Others may vary.
When the thermostat calls for cool , why will the pressure in the unit come up (is not already equalize and at about 100 psi? And you say low pressure pressure makes( 9:59 ) ?
Moved from residential to commercial is a big step, but watching Nor Cal's videos will make you confident. Great job .
I appreciate these videos a lot . I went to hvac school two years ago . Been in residential since and been trying to get into refrigeration for the last year but no one will hire me without experience so I like to stay fresh when someone finally takes a chance on me
You're the man, Dave! Love how you broke down the basics quickly and to the point without any extra BS. Keep 'em coming brother!
This is the video i was looking for half an hour. I'm subscribed now.
Welcome to the channel Luis.
Dave , very good job explaining the basic wiring. I’m glad you drilled in about wiring the top of the disconnect 👍. Great job
Dave’s like a recip, he don’t care which way he goes! 😂
Good instruction and very clear,waiting now for the walk in freezer(low temp),the best for you ,from the bronx new york
Ok I’ll do the basic freezer with stick figures 🤘⚡️🤘
Thanks Dave for the control wiring for walk in box and freezer. Its easier for me to follow your videos when i know the operation of sequence and wiring details
As I sit here ( A rate too) draining down a charter school steam system from a faulty fill valve. Be safe brother Dave..great stuff.
I just worked on a steam pack. Awesome stuff.
Informative and basic. Nice job.

Ah I love the highlighting marker👍😁 this way you can tell he's a pro!
Nice, clear, simple explination Dave, thanks! Helps make this nub better equipped and on the road to SuperTech status! Cheers brother!
Great job! Your never to old to refresh refrigeration

I want to move to America your kit is so simple compaired to our over complicated crap in the uk. Keep up the great work 👍⚡🔧
Love it! This helped me understand so much more when it comes to walk in controls.

You're awesome and the Way you explain is excellent.
Thank you.
Great explanation.thank you it helped me a lot my big problem is with the commercial reach in freezer, wiring between the box and the condenser
Hi I mostly do heating and air but some times I get commercial refrigeration and thank you so much love your explanation

Thank you. VERY Interesting.!!!! I'm kinda boring in residential hvac repair. Want to do something like you))
Thank u for this video .I like your practical approach to wiring it helps simplify things.
I know its in me but have to say its nice to see in on paper , GOOD JOB DAVE !
LOVE this! Keep em' coming for us new guys! Appreciate your channel, have for years. Thanks man
Wow Dave!!! Beautifully taught thanks seriously your the man
Thank you 🙏🏻
Your the man Dave! Definitely a good refresher on WIC wiring thanks for the help
Thanks bro. Better explained than at school
I told him if he can do this on his live record about 3 days ago lol THanks man
Hey Dave, amazing job on explaining
Thank you Travis.
David, thanks for the video very informative and is appreciated
Dude with teaching skills🔥 like you have you would make an ideal kindergarten teacher🍺🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾….Have you shot a video like this for a more advanced system??? Many thanks Sir
my man! always have to go back and review thank you again!
My pleasure

Great job explaining Super Dave ...
Good job explaining it . Can you do more of them?
Thanks Sir for perfect explanation
Thank you much Dave that’s a great idea
Can you go over on how to check the rotation of the scroll compressor
Amazing job on this ! Well explained
Very good video, only, why would trap and reverse trap a liquid line as depicted on n your drawing, just curious....
Poor drawing just suction line would have the traps.
Good vid man. Any more of these coming anytime soon?
Awesome video very helpful
this was very well explained!!! thank you.
Very good explanation, thanks a lot.
Hi! Why the line entering evaporator is downward curved and also for condenser is upward curved? Thank you.
Hey man great video! Got 2 evaps on 1 condenser. The evaps have pre mounted tstat and solenoids. I've piped them in bull nose style and I'm onto wiring. How would a man make both solenoids open off 1 tstat?
Just use 1 stat to control both solenoid valves
Can I wire a back loader cooler the same way😜
This is confusing, i have 240v at the evap and 400v at the unit..
Just kidding
Great video.. You are the man Dave
Simply beautiful!!!Thanks
Sweet vid hope you do a low pressure control diagram. Keep it up bud.
I feel like i learned more than in school old dave haha
Thanks Erick. ❤️
@@NorCal-refrigeration Thank you. I learned a few things today.
Love ur explaination, pls can u provide practice of different mechines cold and freezer room
How about wiring a 240v single phase contactor?
Great video, I just had one question, for the solenoid valve. I re watched the video many times. So you land L1 for the solenoid valve on N.O ??? I thought it would go on N.C since the solenoid valve opens when energized and is in the N.C position when when it’s not energized by the Tstat… can you you explain that. Thanks in advance
It’s the way the Tstat is configured on temp fall the NO contacts open. And re make on temp rise.
@@NorCal-refrigeration thanks
your the man dave!

he may have assumed it also had 3phase fan motors, which have to be running the right direction ;)

Older shit comes like that you’re better off with a solenoid
The contactor for the walkin box keeps pulling in and out continuously. Is the problem in the LP or HP?
Great information thanks dave.
Thank you for this information 🙏
But where is the timer!!?
Great video bro!
Brilliantly explained
Thank u
Well explained and you nailed it
Thank you Dave. Stay safe
🇺🇸👍💪❄🎸🎤 hey Dave if u turn off the switch inside the walkin box will the compressor stay off or is there a chance it will still run or come on ? This is your doing work inside box.
The only controll for compressor is the psi switch. So if power to the thermostat/ solenoid is off the unit should pump down.
@@NorCal-refrigeration thankyou Dave much appreciated 🙏 👍🏼 🏍
Thanks for sharing good video
great lesson teacher
Excellent Dave 👍👍👍
🤘⚡️🤘
Simple, easy understand thks
excellent video it’s pretty helpfull, thanks a lot !!!
Nice explanation
Simple easy understand 😊
thanks.. great video!!

Can you make video for scroll compressor running in wrong connection?
Now can you explain sizing of refrigeration line , p traps and expansion Valves. Hint Hint For content. Great video

Super nice thanks 🙏👍💯💸
Hi, thanks for the video, I would like to request a video where Sub-Zero controller is added to operate the components!!! Please.
When the thermostat calls for cool , why will the pressure in the unit come up (is not already equalize and at about 100 psi?
And you say low pressure pressure makes( 9:59 ) ?
It has a solenoid Valve that pumps down the unit when the thermostat is satisfied.
Well explainec.👍👍👏👏
perfect explaination
Great video 👍
Great video
Can you explain time clock please?
Well done! . Thanks
Love you for this
Thank you you are awesome
Kindly arrange the diagram sir thanks for helping technician
