Chris, the professional ice melter and pigeon evictor at your service!
Pigeons are so nasty, Sea Gulls too.
Pigeon aka Flying Rat
@@SovereignTroll Flying rats…
im surprised some of those pointy things werent recommended to keep them out of there
The great think about your channel is how authentic it is. You don't present yourself as the greatest technician of all time, like some other channels. That is the reason I watch your channel, the content is also awesome. I use you as a training for my apprentice because you are very good at explaining things. You are a great teacher.
I'm the one man HVACR division of a nashville remodel company and I've recently been tossed into commercial refrigeration and honestly I'd have no idea where to start if it weren't for your videos and others like you. I get they're not meant to be walkthroughs or training videos but watching thought processes and troubleshooting processes is how I, and I assume the majority of us, learned in the first place. HVACR is the only trade in which I've experienced the level of care to pass on knowledge to the next guy and the consistent pride taken in our work. We appreciate you, king.
Actually… he started making these videos as training aids for his employees. So that’s kinda exactly what they are.
Bruh you will be successful. Pass on knowledge I was trained by tough old timers who knew their shit yet player haters too worried someone takes their spot. I CHOOSE NOT TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THAT….. 👍🏽
Hahahaha. I was at a call last week....talking to myself....a lady was below me....she was looking at me weirdly....i finally noticed she was looking at me....i had a laugh and told her....don't worry...i was talking the problem out to myself out loud.....she was "ok...thought you were talking to me...and i didn't understand what you were saying".
9:00 We have a terminology in programming called Rubber Ducking to describe talking a problem through to a 3rd party, be it another programmer or just a rubber duck on your desk. The act of talking through the problem often reveals the solution. I personally tell my cats what's going wrong and that usually works a treat!
It drives me nuts every time I see you walk up to a timer and turn it. I always put a mark on it and time it, making sure it advances before I touch it. For all I know the clock gets stuck on that one spot and by turning it I will never see the issue again until they call back because I didn't observe everything first.
Certainly not a bad choice! Although in my experience these rarely fail in one time frame and work the rest of the time. What I’ve found is if they are stuck (or just plain hard to turn from sand or whatever) they are REALLY stuck. In either case I would just replace it!
Again Chris, I like your podcast/social media. Again it is hard being a maytag repair man. Ours such a lonely life. Love you buddy.
My family has always referred to 'talking to ourselves' as 'asking expert advice' everything we do, from fixing a pipe or outlet to working on a machine, building something. It helps us to organize our thoughts and keep things on task, even at my day job I'll always be muttering to myself. I love your channel man, keep it up, twice now I've been able to troubleshoot my central geothermal HVAC by seeing similar symptoms to a walk-in condenser. This saving myself a fairly significant technician call out. My HVAC is from late 1990's early 2000's and still kicks butt every season, only occasionally freezing up or blowing a transformer.
Thank you..luv that you fix problem not just the symptoms..Big picture
Thanks for the upload
Walk in cooler at my bar actually died today. Thanks to what I've learned from you I was able to diagnose a shorted start winding. Now to get a tech out to actually fix it.....
that Chris is full of bull, I like riding his back sometime.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who talks to himself while troubleshooting! I’ve found it really helps me get all my thoughts in order
Chris your videos are awesome and don't get in to negative comments, it's called YOU tube..just be you it's just right combination of things.we luv ur videos..
To protect the solenoid Valve and head pressure control valve from getting hot when braising, you could bolt them on like the liquid line dryer and then no more Wet rag.
By recording your work I believe you bring extra value to the service your providing. Keep up the good work.
Uhm, I like the ramblings of your brain. So please keep that 😎
And no, you are not alone, although my brain sometimes throws in a sweat when something try’s playing hard 😂
As a Dunkin manager. I can tell you that half the boxes are opened in the freezer. We usually don’t need a whole box or even a little of the box. Just one thing from the box.
Ramblings are my way of troubleshooting ham radio equipment too...talking to myself as well during the process, sometimes my better half asks me who am I talking to? ;-)
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma
The process of evaluating the way the evap is iced up is a huge window into the issues it’s been having. Your idea of having a clear ice build up on the bottom being an indicator of the system trying to defrost is not something I’ve thought of in the past and I’m sure is correct. Always able to impress knowledge in these vids and I’m just so thankful for them and you.
I will discuss this on my livestream this evening 9/19/22 @5:PM (pacific) come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/yK1mrhVa9Bo/видео.html
on one of your other videos you said sometimes you get water in the motors because you cant get them out because of the ice. you should look into a small compressor to blow the water out. the makita mac-210q are small and quiet and would probably be worth keeping in the van that way you dont have to wait for the water to drain out
"A day in the life kinda thing" that's why I'm watching your videos, and a bit of education on the side is nice. Thank you for doing this.
The white stuff isn't calcium, it's aluminum "rust"/oxidation. It happens a lot in restaurants because of bleach (sodium hypochlorite), and other salts in the air combining with the condensation. Awesome video otherwise. Keep up the great work teaching the next generation of techs to think "big picture" and not to overlook things that can be easily /accidentally ignored.
In the cooler? The hvac is not running to the coolers. There is ZERO reason for bleach in the air to circulate into a walk in freezer. Highly doubt that’s what it is.
But “calcium” is also a bit far fetched as this isn’t “tap” water that the frost is made from. It is made from water in the air. Humidity. So I’m not sure I agree with either of the statements (calcium… or bleach)
nah the white stuff is obviously ice, duh!/j
lol
Very good explanation of what you are doing. I used to do commercial , but that's refrigeration, don't really miss it
Literally just got home from one of these except the termination fan delay was failed and fans never came on. Low pressure control failed also. Fun stuff on a sat
I love the way you make your videos and it is very helpful to hear your "Ramblings" as it is kinda of a step by step approach and we get to see how you get from trouble call to fixed. No one is perfect and you are very methodical and knowledgeable in your troubleshooting of these units and we get a wealth of information on the simplest of calls. I work as a maintenance tech in a packaging manufacturer and I get good troubleshooting tips on electrical from you and I enjoy your patience and dedication to the customers that you service. In a perfect world since doors left open is such a problem on these that the manufacturer would install a door switch and timer so that after a set period of time the control circuit would turn off the unit and a warning light would come on but I guess that would led to many nuisance calls for system being down. I was curious, at 8:10 in the video you can see the fan cycle control and sensing bulb moving around and I was wondering if that is normal and would that sensing bulb cap tube be damaged by that? Great videos as always and thanks so much for all that you do.
I have worked in the food service industry and observed individuals who have claustrophobia in walk ins. Human nature is compelling some of the door open syndrome.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
This is the best service call channel in my (HVAC) opinion.
Cris. Thank you so much good information
Happy Sunday God bless you and your family 🙏
Iced coils are very common in grocery too haha! Don’t feel bad, I whisper to myself when trouble shooting.
Love your videos man! I’m an HVAC technician and I talk to myself all the time to diagnose calls. It definitely helps the thought process.
woe, hit another speed bump. Ours is such a lonely life, unguote. This one tough notebook pad.
I have learned a lot about refrigeration by watching your videos . I have a GE built-in refrigerator that actually uses a fan delay after defroster runs.
Been using that same sprayer and it works great! Thanks for showing me.
Another great video. You are an awesome refrigeration technician and I am still learning a lot from your channel. Thanks for the videos.
I did once get quite ill using a mapp torch in a tiny room many years ago, I either use water or electric hot air gun now!
At the start of the video i thought there has to be an open door in there somewhere! An yep there was.
Your problem can be fixed pretty fast.
Install a door switch and as soon the door gets open you disengage the freezer !
So they have to hurry up closing the door...
It does not make any sense to cool down the wet air from outside.
Every good technician talks to themselves!
Add cook slap flaps and stickers next to the door.
Why not measure the Heater current at the clock? Once they are proved, Mark the timer with the reading, to have it available for a quick check.
They should sell a switch that shuts the system down if the door is left open for more than 5 minutes. Similar to the manual switch you would use if you were unloading a truck or something. It would cut down a ton on people leaving doors open
management needs to post a note on the door "if you want to be paid............. LEAVE THE DAMN DOOR SHUT!!"
Get some work in LA county, I'll run it Chris ;) Residential is not my cup of tea, I miss commercial!!!!!!
Talking to yourself through a technical issue is normal for most techs and mechanics.
Most of your viewers understand this as they do so themselves either internally or vocally.
In a way it is part of the process to gather, retain, and discard finds and probabilities preventing brain hash.
I totally agree.
0:42 Flanders. Classic. 👍
I do the same thing as you do :)
from someone who worked at a restraunt we (the magers mainly) opened the boxes wherever they liked to. weather it be inside the fridge or freezer. is it best practices idk but it happenes.
Chris i have changed my field into freelancing mep hvac design which i had studied extensively with certifications now i don't know how to start my journey as online engineer - like what skills are most sellable in market demand like making revit, autocad drawings drafting or designs, project calculations in ms excel with boq to make profit ? What's better hvac site, design or revit design or total mep work.. What should i start with & how to complete the given work properly could you help me with it in some details...
Hot water burns through ice the fastest! I have a several pump sprayers if I can’t get a hose on it or don’t want to get hoses out. I have a similar hose sprayer with the mist and shower settings!
I also fight the good fight of keeping doors closed. I show the customer the dirt on their coils and this one was pretty clean compared to many! Dirt does and lint doesn’t just magically appear in a unit.
My company built coolers for a research lab at a large hospital in Memphis. They complained about mold in their cooler and had the nerve to argue me that they aren’t keeping the door open even though you could see tons of dirt and lint on the coils! Haha research scientist arguing me about a door being closed with clear evidence 😂😂😂
Hi Chris
One thing I can say
Ur vidios and the away ur troubleshooting on ur services call
Still the best is out there
If I compere to nother channels I watch
They just suck to a nother level
What about using a portable steamer ?
Where can we get a portable steamer? Or where you get the portable steamer?.
@@bernaveochoa4534 I was just thinking about one they have them on Amizon just wanted to get some opinon"s on the idea
That time clock looked immaculate, which makes me think it isn't that old. Are analog timers still popular? What are the pros and cons compared to a digital timer?
Hey Chris, I,m thinking bad TXV, but again cost? cost? cost ?. Oh my God, that ice cream cone cost me twenty five dollars.
If the trend is freezers getting left open, offer to install door timer switches for product deliveries?
An your gauges tell you if your evaporator is dirty . Low air flow
Have you ever thought about cutting up the video with the end commentary instead of a hard break between onsite and commentary from home?
While I’m not in HVAC I do the EXACT SAME thing of talking to myself about what I’m doing as I’m doing it.
Ugh at pigeons, my building put giant netting over the balconies last year (15 stories), sooooo much better.
Some people need their hands hit by a runner, to prevent them from sticking damn door open.
Also, old good Rubber Duck Debugging, trade edition.
What’s your best process when you have a failed pan heater and you can’t melt the ice
Without water going everywhere? Thanks.
high s/h normally causes freeze ups.thanks for sharing.
Hello! just wanted to say great God! Also a question for you. do you prefer the electric evaporator with the smart board and electric txv
Or the standard equipment? I personally have had more trouble with the electric stuff
Frost is basically distilled water so it should not contain calcium.
Aluminum oxides?
For melting ice on the coil with your hose, where is the best place to hook up your hose?
Usually the mop sink
There are hose bib adapters for the most common faucet strainers found on bar or 3 compartment sinks.
Need to work on your Steve Irwin voice when you encounter wildlife
Every tech rambles to himself especially when they're trying to figure out why they're dealing with what they're dealing with. Sometimes it helps to verbalize the thoughts to figure things out
Also thanks for the added defrost sequence explanation
Loved the section at the end about communicating with your neighbors and being able to talk with them even if you don't agree about everything
wait... people don't talk to themselves when they are working out a problem???? That's the best way to both reinforce memory and open up new avenues of investigation. Well i guess my and my wife are weird then because that is how we do things.
💪❄🇺🇸👍
6:12 that’s one of the worst start ups I’ve ever seen, one rattles to all hell and one, just doesn’t want to live anymore and falls apart
Where is Luke? He's a celebrity now.He's part of the HVACR family.
woe, is that you Steve?
@@everettstevenson2111 Haha, your so funny, not?
What the hell is up with people leaving the doors open? Why??
that Chris is full of bull, I'm going too ride his back.
I keep wondering.. how do those hefty dents get into the radiators? Especially behind the fans.. nobody should be able to poke stuff in there, should they? Technicians that are careless when swapping fans?
Built up ice forming can flatten the fins. Blades hitting ice can shatter.
that Chris is full of bull, I like riding his back.
Of COURSE you talk to yourself all the time...
How else are you going to have an Intelligent Conversation?
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
I always skip the wand story. :D
❤️
Giggity giggity
If the heaters are working why is there ice on the coil?
TXV is going bad.
Chris I've been watching the channel from the very beginning , learned a lot from you over the years .
If I may give you my 2 cents : for the past couple years the talk at the end of the video has gradually been getting longer and longer and we're now at a point where it's in fact longer than the actual footage .
I gotta be honest mate , I think this is a bit too much innit .
Just my 2 cents , I would have said it via email but you get so many these days I doubt you would have read it .
Fair point but the way I see it is the closing words contain some valuable info and no offense taken if you don't watch them. Sterling you truly have been a very long time viewer and I really appreciate you!! Thanks so much for your continued support. I dont go into the videos with a script and when I am editing them I often think of things I should address and the closing words are usualy the perfect place for that, I will discuss this on my livestream this evening 9/19/22 @5:PM (pacific) come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/yK1mrhVa9Bo/видео.html
I talk to myself all the time. If anyone points it out, I just tell them that I need someone intelligent to talk to.
YEP REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD DO THAT BUT ITS ALL CHANGED. SAD TO SAY THE PROBLEM IS WORLDWIDE. I WONT SAY ENEY MORE THEN THAT . LETS HOPE WE CAN BEAT THE EVIL THAT ARE RUNNING THINGS . PEACE BROTHER. IM 96 YEARS OLD AND ITS NICE TO SEE THIS OLD DOG CAN STILL LEARN FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU . THANKS . NOW GET YOUR ARSE BACK TO WORK 😊😊😊😊😊 LOVE FROM THE UK
I to.talk to myself when i need the opinion of an expert.
773 thumbs uP
Yea lets get back to the 90s where r22 ruled the world. It was a better world. Now there trying to make things dangerous with propane are you fmk. Let the 90s live on!
8 min video 16 min of talking… I appreciate the Info but would rather see the mechanics. Sorry but I always fast forward through the talking
