For those newer style delfield units. From factory, they cycle the evaporator fans on and off. Inside the control section you’re able to jump out the fans and have them run 24/7. Customers complained a lot back whenever Delfield decided to go to their r290 units. I’ve seen the same thing with True as well, true is slightly more complicated to get the fans to run 24/7 but it’s doable. Thanks for sharing
get some 90* quick disconnects for the end of your hoses. my dad always used them to minimize refrigerant loss on the screwing on and off of the hoses...
@@HVACRSurvival Did not know that about the 410A, he got out of the contractor business before the 410A became standard. I've seen HVACR Videos use an Appion core depressor tool that might work then. Looks small enough to get into tight spaces and will only allow refrigerant flow one the depressor is screwed down.
@@terranhightower341 i’ve been using those valve core depressor tools recently from Appion and I gotta say I like them a lot, but even though they’re small, you might have a hard time fitting them in certain types of systems.
Never like the Kokpak set up for anything. They don't even give you enough room for a Schrader depressor tool either. Always have to give it some manipulation to make room. Those snap disk switches always fail, i see it a lot on the Manitowoc condensers, always go with the adjustable switch when its out of warranty, they will outlast the unit. Good fix Rick. HAPPY EASTER
One thing that i didn't get, when you tried to install the swivel tee, you pumped it down and hooked up the suction hose and u installed it without losing pressure, why was it spraying earlier and not after? I understand that suction was low because of the pump down but what happened to the pressure on the liquid line? It might sound stupid question but i m new to refrigeration and have learned a lot from you! thanks and keep up the good work!!
The place that I pumped it down at was on the receivers liquid valve. The valve I hooked it up at was after that valve. There was no refrigerant there or very little where I put the swivel tee.
That freezer had tell tale signs of a bad defrost termination/fan delay control, or that ice was formed while trying to cool the walkin cooler...we will never know, or will we.
Sounds like you have had a long week or something. Grumpin a little more than usual 😂. These videos have never disappointed in all the years i've watched.
I know 😆. Sometimes I just leave in things I normally cut out. It’s a fine balance. You get yelled at if you bitch but sometimes you just don’t care if you piss the world off. 🤟😂
Hey great video. Do you have a link for that service wrench. I have been looking for the 7in one for a while, but no one ever tells the dimensions in their description. BtW used your code to get the FIELDPIECE probe set. Thanx.
The suction port placement is just par for the course now, bad design, trash equipment, poor installers on and on and on. Have you ever thought about taking a stationary type job? At least the equipment is yours for good and you can do whatever you need to do to it and customize it
@@HVACRSurvival The call you were at or my company? Lol unsure but we install a lot of those Kolpak condenser/evaps with that control. We are all over the place but mainly NE Ohio
whine whine whine, would you like some cheese? 🤣🤣 couldn't resist the temptation, but yeah, everything is very poorly designed anymore and servicing is not on the list of things in play. 🙄
Love your videos but man you're whiny on this one. It's funny at first but got annoying as it went on. Maybe shoulda stayed home that day or left the camera in the truck.
I think I was an equal opportunity pisser offer on this video. I hopefully didn’t leave anybody out. 😂
just to be sure, you're not found of coldpack, and their engineering, CORRECT ?
Doing a maintenance video on an ice cream machine would be awesome
I’m just here to hear Rick tell a manufacturer that they suck. lol happy Easter 😂
I try to make a difference.lol

Thanks, that’s good to know. I knew the R290 true units did it but wasn’t sure about the Delfield.
Rick, Another amazing instructional video! Thanks for sharing ! Be safe !!
Rick please never stop being you! Hope you had a Happy E!
😁 people have never been able to handle the full me. It has to be administered in small doses. Easter was good, had food, family and God time.
Hey hey we make some good shit here in Canada 😂
I saw those browning belts in your truck. That’s all I ever use anymore , great belts :)
Great video as well !!
That’s the main brand we use here as well. Thanks for watching!
Walk in are working fine now
Great job has always Rick. Happy Easter
Did this same repair on a kolpak freezer but the low pressure so I had to remount that liquid line to fit the tee on the suction
Needless to say I absolutely laughed and felt your pain when you say it’s an absolute trash design

Those won’t hold up to 410a. I had them, they didn’t last. The ball valves last the longest.

@@HVACRSurvival makes sense, thanks!
Happy Easter. Good video.
ice cream maintenance would be awesome
Great job brother Happy Easter

Love the video as always great work. I want to see maintenance on a ice cream machine

I agree. We will see

I need that T-shirt.
Great video Rick! Not a fan of the snap diak fan cycle switches either.
Well, Rick, look at this from the bright side. At least this was easier work than fixing that supermarket coil you've posted recently. 😅
A good idea is to add 50ml of sulphuric acid to the compressor before regassing to reduce corrosion
I don’t understand?
You're the man, videos are always entertaining
Happy Easter, wats a good brand for evap coils n condenser units ?
Happy Easter
How do you really feel about Kolpak Nice job as always ... Happy Easter to you & family ... Thx
Best and easiest to use controller on the market. If you can’t use that one I feel bad for you haha
Not a fan of Kolpak either. Most of them come with a pre charged lineset that some out of town installers coil up on the roof 🫠😂
Was expecting some flashy beats at the beginning of the video, but the end is fine too. Regardless, nice video ;)
I’m looking to change things. Not sure to what
those fan cycle controls don't like snow have to put them in a plastic bag to keep blowing snow out I'm in minnesota
You're gruff, but lovable. Thanks for the vid. Love your work.
I appreciate that!👍👍🤜🤛😊

Where do you get your paint marker from
Amazon or eBay. Whoever is cheaper. Uni-paint blue
Brass caps are only good with a brass washer inside.
Thats new to me. I have seen copper flare washers in some.
👍💪❄️🇺🇸 Tennessee moonshine. Happy Easter
If it was a DG, they would still sell the spolied food
Are the new locking gasketed caps ok for hold pressure on low side? I have a stripped schrader port that leaks so must rely on sealed cap. Thx
They usually have a rubber gasket, there is a flair 1/4 to 1/4 fitting that would work that has a new Schrader core or a swivel tee will work.
That's what I use that way the flare seals up against existing port.
good option given situation thx again@@HVACRSurvival
Warm meat is not good 😅. Nice job, Rick!
What are your thoughts on ESP evaporators? Starting to see them way more
It’s the future. It’s fine if you have spare parts.
What area do you work in great video 😅
North Western Ohio
👍👍👍
the 13 people who disliked this video's brain no worki worki
Normally you can’t see that? My average is 97-98% positive so I don’t mind when the majority are that high.

If your based out of Ohio may have been my company that installed that 😂 a421s and kolpak. Agreed though shit design
Was it a pizza place originally?
@@HVACRSurvival The call you were at or my company? Lol unsure but we install a lot of those Kolpak condenser/evaps with that control. We are all over the place but mainly NE Ohio
Kolpak owned by Manitowoc or the other way around 🤷🏻♂️ 🗑️ . A good ole Tecumseh or Copeland condensing would’ve been better in my opinion 🤷🏻♂️.
I didn’t look up their history far as who their own by? I agree I’ll take either one of those other condensing any day before this.
Noticed you changed the name of the video . Kick bait Reeeee !!!
169 thumbs uP
Ya those style KOLPAK condensing units are horseshit for serviceability. Bottom of the barrel units
whine whine whine, would you like some cheese? 🤣🤣
couldn't resist the temptation, but yeah, everything is very poorly designed anymore and servicing is not on the list of things in play. 🙄
I’m a champion at bitching.
Theses engineer's never work on them so they don't care and build as cheap as they can that is the bottom line
True.
God those are such garbage.
Love your videos but man you're whiny on this one. It's funny at first but got annoying as it went on. Maybe shoulda stayed home that day or left the camera in the truck.
Fair enough ✌️ 👍👍
