WALK IN FREEZER EVAP MOTORS NOT WORKING

So the customer called in a panic saying the evaporator fan motors were not working and the box was high in temp.

I love working in these restaraunts. Friday 445pm the walk in is down. Find out from an employee it's been temping high since Tuesday lol

Love your style of work and your videos. I’m a contractor myself and I enjoy watching your videos.

just finished installing a new door at place because there was an entrapment, it was bad. relief valve froze up and the door sucked itself shut. there was so much vacuum the jaws of life just bent the lip of the door they had to use a saw to cut a hole in the door. the door lock was functioning normally. the PRV is a critical safety device

Love to have some extra content about the pricing on these after hours calls. Everyone’s pricing is different, but general overtime policies and pricing depending on current customer and new customer, etc. etc.

Thanks for all you do. I feel your pain on the cork tape. Also everytime I’m on a late call, I always say to myself—I’ll be back tomorrow!!

Changing the defrost so it happens after they do inventory helps. I have had managers leave the door open while they are doing inventory. I scold them for this but they do what they want when I leave. Leaving the door open is a common problem. Over loading the walk-in is another. Over loading is often ignored but it needs to be addressed. A second walk in is super helpful because they can have a backup when one goes down. The insurance companies that cover the cost of spoiled food should lower rates when kitchens have a half loaded second freezer. Incentive?

That communication was great!....and you handled the callout so done teacher!

As usual a good service call video. I love a sight glass I hate low cords dangling over the defrost heaters. Move them up to the top of the fan brackets. Zip ties do not have to be senched tight to hold a wire out of harms way. leaving them loosely senched makes it easier to cut them off when changing motors. I am not a fan of S0 cord. It does save space on the truck but I prefer stranded THHN-14, in black, red, white and green. Pan cracks can be JB welded & a guard to prevent the product from bumping the pan helps. Large wrap around L brackets can be made from flat steel or aluminum from Lowes.

Cork tape is great for things that are irregularly shaped. I recently had to insulate a corrugated flexible line on a ductless split, no other way to effectively do it!

Thanks for the videos, I’m buying a hat! As a service tech apprentice working to a journeyman, all of your videos have helped me so much!

This might seem a little off topic, but I like that when your title or thumbnail isn't about the problem you are fixing itself it is about something you see while taking care of it. There's a professional electrician I've been following that has been falling deep into the well of bait and seems proud about it.

[chrisjoss]

Wow I cant believe how well you explain your service calls and show every step of the way! Happy hvacing

Is the overloading part of the reason they leave doors open? If you can't move around in there, it seems you'd be likely to open the door and cut back and forth as you move product around. Properly sizing your walkins so you can actually "walk in" seems important.

I Can almost bet that vibration noise was coming from the drain pan heater retaining plate those always come loose and begin moving with the fan airflow 🤷🏻‍♂️. Good video

[kylemcelya]

You handled this great as usual. I do not to refrigeration but chillers, RTUs, split, and CRAC units. But love your content no matter what type of system.

[stevencossaboon]

Nice work Chris. I hope you and the family had a good Christmas. Stay safe out there.

[loudnoise]

BTW, did you notice that someone left a hose wand in the roof rack? Given everything else going on there you have to wonder why....

[manhpham]

thank you for sharing your skills and the way you care about your customer. im very lucky when i have your video as a library to learn much on this trade.

[stevejay]

OK I hate zip tying wires to fan guards, but "needs must when the devil drives" ya know -- never seen the "double zip tie" before -- that's just genius - thanks for that !

When it comes to food shipments, MOST restaurants don't schedule additional staffing on delivery days. Often, we have to pull one of the two people scheduled to check the delivery in. We have to temp the product when it comes off the truck and get it into the walk-ins as quickly as possible in order to get the other half of the crew back on the line. Later, if there is enough staff (or someone willing to stay beyond their shift), the delivery can get properly put away and stock properly rotated to adhere to FIFO (first in, first out).

Looks like your defrost termination/fan delay is quirky. I was always taught if there's frost and water droplets on the ceiling means the fans are coming on when the coil is not cold enough to freeze the water on the coil. Your thoughts?
