Freezer Ice Merchandiser Box Repair | Bad Evaporator Fan Motor

Reference to a trick found when diagnosing evaporator fan motors on small freezers (AKA - Ice Merchandisers) typically found as outdoor boxes for gas stations.

Thanks for showing an old school way to check to see if the motre fan is working

Great trick on getting the evap fan motor to run. I just found your channel. Please keep posting more vids on refrigeration stuff. 👍🏼

Thanks for the feedback! I will be coming out with more soon.

Just watched your video love the content. I have a quick question we have a chest like the one you worked on, who in our area could we get to work on ice boxes like the ones you displayed

I'm trying to start a Snoball business (basically shaved ice, different machine tho) and properly tempered ice is KEY to perfect 'snow.' I bought a used unit like this for making/storing the blocks and a small used Dippin Dots freezer for on site storage. I cleaned the big one up really good but it would only pull down to between 35-40 degrees. (maybe I didn't run it long enough). But I need a target temp of between 0 and 20 with 10 degrees being the idea temp. I failed to even look at the evap coils since the fans were running. Great info on the run and defrost times as well as the temperature range that this box cools to. Short of being low on Freon maybe, all other components seem to be working. You said that in auto defrost mode the amps should be around 3.5-4.0, right?
The little dippin dots chest works great but I don't need sub zero temps. Is there a way I can regulate that? It's an older model without any adjustment arrows on the digital display. By upgrading the display (Weiss Instruments) and simply changing the temperature setting to the desire temp, will that do it? Or is there something I can do with it just the way it is?
Great video man, I've watched these long drawn out vids that are way over my head. Yours was perfect for what I needed. Short, precise and informative. Thanks!

Sounds like you may have a cooler at that temp. You can turn that 34⁰ cooler into your 0⁰ freezer by changing the stat and adding a defrost system if the equipment can pull down. (If it is a freezer, you have a problem). Hope this helps!

Can you make a video on how to add r404 and how to check it if its empty on r404

[@juliangarcia426]

How much do you charge for adding oil into it r404

Nice video! In my ice merchandiser , fan is running but its not cooling at all. any idea what could be the reason.

[@nixcoolfix]

There can be many reasons: 1) compressor not running 2) no refrigerant 3) bad capacitor 4) burnt wire 5) defrost timer is bad. Thanks for watching, I hope that helps!
