hey guys we got us a no cooling call this
gentleman told me he keeps it on 82 degrees it's freezing up and he's had a high electric bill
so something's wrong let's go find out what it is screw in the top right so bring the
top left bring the right side out first no no no right right there yeah well i think all that
up there is just sealed off i think you're right i don't see
no openings up here well sort of yeah i guess they put a water heater in
here yeah i can see it it's back there yeah all right you don't hurt to have one up there well the coil is dirty but it's um if you're keeping it at 82 and it's still
freezing up i think we might have another problem that got up to 12.
Do i'm not sure that tip's gonna be any good got up to six that got up to 10 and i'm repeating in the same spot mm-hmm yes sir so headline smoking heart that liquid lines heart oh temperature sensors better diagnosis three eighty two that liquid line is 137 degrees this may not look dirty but i'm gonna try to
clean it up i think this thing is overcharged to make up for a clogged evaporator coil and you can see there's
been an attempt to clean it but it's leaking that compressor ain't gonna be long for this
world running there temperatures like that let me go get my water nozzle there we go so i'm getting a lot more dirt out of
that and you might might have thought so got a ton of dirt out of this thing it was a lot dirtier than what
it looked like just looking at it through this it didn't look so bad but man i did i got a lot out that right there is a 38 000 btu i guess a double wide here this fellow is saying that it
has never really done right so all right got to turn back on let's check our vitals again now while this pool is wet i expect
my suction to be below freezing come on i got lots of dirt out of that all right so with that head pressure down my suction is slowly coming
up it's at 30.
31 degrees as that dry dries out let's see where we end up so now what was that number where i
checked them under check them under load 2652 let's do that all right first this one's gonna be for my
fan check my hand draw on that i got 0.54 so what you do is you take 0.54 times 2652
and then you divide that by the voltage from here to here and i'm reading 300 and i'm actually reading 345 so divide that
by 345 4.15 that's supposed to be a five let's do the other one this
is gonna be for my compressor i got seven it's all over the
place isn't it seven let's go 7.14 so and then you divide that number by the voltage across i got 407 volts 46 that's a 50 and five so it's a little bit low all right so um it may not be completely dried out yet
but these pressures look a lot more normal 13 degrees of cooling 11 super heat now it
was like um 84 degrees in there so this is low and it had a piston so my superheat should be higher
and my suction should be higher i'm still watching this over
here to see how high it goes but my temperature of my liquid lime right now is 103 degrees before it was what
i say 137 that's a lot better somebody out here this week the best let that sit for just a
second i might spray it again so thank you i know i'm just polishing a turd
here but i can certainly make this a lot better than what it was let me
make sure i don't have any power here nothing looks like there's a 5 16.
I just love it when i lose screws like that okay blue is for my fan grids for
my compressor and orange and yellow for my run mining do this for my fan red for my compressor orange and yellow i'm going to get me a self tapper i thought
i'd explain why i'm going through the trouble to try to make this as nice as i can because
this customer right here needs air and second the landlords that i work for sometimes they
don't always want to hear that hey this needs to be replaced sometimes even if you think that's the
case you need to try to help them out a little bit and draws coming down i think my condenser is dry by now let's see if my pressures go up
any on my evaporator coil and my super heat has certainly gone up so that little bit of coil cleaner
looks like it did some good keep an eye on it it's starting to go
down a little bit that's my super heat okay so my head pressure came way down cleaning that coil didn't do a whole lot i
don't remember what my super heat was but that looks about normal that suction pressure
is low considering how hot it is in there it does feel like it's moving more heat though i want that suction to go up my suction really ain't going up considering
how hot it is i may try to add just a little bit use somebody's water hose put it back the
way you found it if you leave it laying out and they don't do that that's the kind of
thing they remember okay i did decide to add a little bit my head pressure now is
260 suction 64.
saturation temperature 37 degrees instead of 33 which is where i
started and my superheat went way down i'm going to tell them to start
budgeting for a new system this should last him a good bit longer now guys thanks for watching and
i'll catch you on the next one you.
