No alarm on the control panel and the elevator is not operational. How will you start the troubleshooting? Here is my simple and conventional way of fault finding.
The moment you walked back into the lift room and saw the motor turn over - That is ETO candy. The feeling of fixing the problem is why I love this profession. Nice fix!
As a Elevator Troubleshooting Technician, it's like a drug. You get addicted to it. It's weird because you start looking forward to breakdowns like these!
I like your methodical approach to fault finding,I see a lot of guys just panic & say "lets try this,lets try that"just slow down & work through it.Another one in the bag,good job.
Very cool, videos like this are my favorite. You identify an issue, investigate possible causes, test following schematics and solve the problem. I just found your channel in the last week or so and I watch evey video of yours that pops up.
Yup, there are times that in troubleshooting, I also call it “chasing the rabbit”, that you have a hard time catching it. But after spending sometimes a long time trying and finally getting the problem, or “catching” the rabbit, that feeling you get afterwards is the reward for all the hard work spent tracking it down. Good video, thanks for sharing!🙂
I just had that feeling with my #1 computer at home. My external backup drive for odd months was intermittent - hardest problem to fix. Switched drives, then power supplies (which never break). Of course it worked as long as it sat idle. Mid-backup (2 hour job) it would fail, and... yes... it was the power supply (wall wart). I didn't have that voltage as a spare from my parts box. I had to order one, so I ordered two to have a spare. Four days later with a new PS, it worky-worky! Yay! I also get that feeling when solving software problems, which even occur on my Linux system... usually after a major update.
Sticky relays are so common. 🤣 First thing to do is to tapp on it lighty with a screwdriver handle to unstick it. Or just manually bridge the terminals for elevator call to be able to hear if the relay clicks when it powers on. 🙂 Best wishes, a Swedish Marine electrician. 🤜💪
I'm an electrician but not a marine one. I use the F*ck stick(a screwdriver) and slap the relay. I call it the f*ck stick because you'll swear like hell on one if you get frustrated
I am working in IT, but for the logical approach of troubleshooting I am indeed considering recommending this to some colleagues who seem to completely miss any logical or structured approach to diagnosis and troubleshooting.
Very good man. You are the best! I am a electrician trainee in a maersk vessel in Brazil . But the company called Aliança ( from a group of maersk). I am a problem f22 in a similar elevator.
Hello Mr. Leckyjake, First of all my name is Eyad, am working as electrical engr. (earlier as marine side and recently on electro mechanic Contractor). really appreciated your effort for proficiently on troubleshooting as well as your videoed explanation. i have some clarifications and very important to understand and need your reply once you are free for that. i will start with your video on Reverse Power Trip on Genset#4 and your act by replacing VCB#3 instead VCB#4 and vise versa after RUN genset#4 (with health VCB#3) founded same problem (reverse power trip VCB) occurred again so your solving problem by opening VCB#4 (ITS NOT UNDERSTOOD FOR ME) as I assumed if still revers power activate even with other VCB SURELY its NOT DUE TO VCB AT ALL , AND COULD BE FROM GENSET SIDE. sorry for long message but really i would like to know the correct . ALL RESPECTFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
This was a great shared experiences ,if you are able to make more videos from this content I would be verry thankful and not only me I think! Keep develop you account.
Lecky sir, salute to you for your magnificent job. I just request you to put some videos of boiler troubleshooting, coz I had problems in calibrating sipart as aux boiler was not firing and giving air servo error although dp transmitter was giving 4-20mA signal. Another common problem is boiler water level control is not operating in auto as feed water valve is defective, despite water controller giving 4-20mA signal,pilot burner toowas not firing due to defective cable. Plz suggest some easy ways of troubleshooting like this, thank u
@@whatevernamegoeshere3644 I assume with relays being mechanical devices and especially in marine or industrial environments that may have to deal with vibration dirt and corrosion (at sea everything will start corroding) you are right. Also relays able to switch a certain amount of current are readily available these days. For anything drawing higher currents a contactor would be used anyways. But I also can imagine that with "older" equipment switching everything over makes economically no sense.
@@alexanderkupke920 Corrosion and vibration might not be a factor at all. It really depends on the relay. There are ones that are completely molded into a solid brick of plastic. Another thing is that you would really not replace those relays with solid state relays. It's 24V DC, so a simple BJT would make a whole lot more sense
Very clear and informative. We have installed one local brand elevator in our building. It got damaged by lightning strike and that company is dead now. I am sure that something is wrong in the control board but the wiring are too messy; no label, no colour code or numbering. Beside that no document or service manual. Now I don't know where to start.
thanks for your kind attention really appreciated and please go ahead (full ahead not to ASTERN) and good luck for everything and last i excuse for other remarks could i highlighted ? thanks for everything and good luck
I didn't understand how you found the problem???? Electrician never guess only check the voltaje secuence in the contact mca because there are several contact relays for safety or interlock until be activate the main contactor MC, in spite of the coil from the relay you changed was working properly maybe or i suppose the contact was broken so that the circuit was open or interrupted in that point. The only way to be sure why the main relay was not activating is checking in the electric diagram all the contact one by one in the ladder diagram begin for the main voltage making sure there are voltage present from the one contact till the last, each one involve in the start secuence of the main contactor MC which is responsible to run the Electrical Motor. Good Job!!!! Amazing i'd like to see in next video a out the frecuency driver from motor or if maybe in that case don't use any only main contactor, because i worked in one elevator with two speed motor directly start.
Good day sir, we have the same type of elevator, can you share your insight regarding f54 alarm? From my troubleshooting, my locking magnet (retiring cam) is not being energized. The power for LM relay should come from the SIO board. But some conditions I think is not satisfied. Hope you can somehow help me. Thanks and continue to inspire our fellow ETO/Elect.
Sir may video kana po ba kung paanu ka nag simula sa pagiging E.T.O? REE/RME po ako sir balak ko po din mag barko baka may advice ka po hehe. Salamat sir. Keep safe!
Am sure maybe its my misunderstands after interchange the VCB#3 on Genset #4 problem was cleared (NO REVERSE POWER TRIP ON VCB) , Cause of that logic action to open VCB#4 to find out the defective parts. Continues for my first comment on REVERSE POWER AT GENSET#4
That is correct. Hello Eyad, First of all thank you for watching my videos and really appreciate the time. After interchanging, no more nuisance reverse power trip happen and the Generator can be put on loas using the other VCB hence there is no problem on the curcuit side of the Generator that is why I focused in opening the VCB only.
The moment you walked back into the lift room and saw the motor turn over - That is ETO candy. The feeling of fixing the problem is why I love this profession. Nice fix!
Thank you. It is the satisfaction. I just can't explain that feeling. Safe sailing
kkkkk ohh yes, a few understand well that ..."yeeessss...." ..
Well that is the reason im preparing to for ETO ❤️
As a Elevator Troubleshooting Technician, it's like a drug. You get addicted to it. It's weird because you start looking forward to breakdowns like these!
It must be nice working in an environment where every device is labeled and has a manual.
I like your methodical approach to fault finding,I see a lot of guys just panic & say "lets try this,lets try that"just slow down & work through it.Another one in the bag,good job.
I start at beginning. Sometimes missing one phase.
Very cool, videos like this are my favorite. You identify an issue, investigate possible causes, test following schematics and solve the problem. I just found your channel in the last week or so and I watch evey video of yours that pops up.
Bro really you are doing a great demonstration, real troubleshooting.
Sure it will serve many of us.
Priceless effort
Super hard working in trouble shooting . Keep safe always Jake . Im also electrician/Refrigeration and Reefer van technician
Your ability to remain calm is impressive.

thank you
Excellent Trouble Shooting.6/20/22yr
The succeed moment is wonderful
Good video ....Thanks From
C/E Maersk Cape Town
we usually tap on relays to see if they engage.......good video
Hi.... i apprecaite...you are my idol in trouble shooting of elevator...and you are using schematic diagram...
11:33 that feeling when you solve the problem ☺️
thanks for another learning
Hahaha it is like solving the puzzle and gives you all the satisfactions once solved it. Thank you for watching
its the most fullfilling feeling for a technician good work

Manuak booknya sangat lengkap ....
Banyak kapal tidak ada manual book atau manual book tidak lengkap
Great
Very good experience and knowledge sir !
Which country are you working
I find relays being a common issue in industrial applications. Solid state relays seem to be allot more reliable
Sadly they also offer less isolation as they are not galvanically isolated when off so the number of possible applications are tighter

Kudos frm one lecky to another good job bro😉
Safe sailing
Great job sir 🤩
Thank you
Salamat kalecky
Customer : only the relay is broken, why pay so much?
Technician : please write your answer. Thx...
thanks for your kind attention really appreciated and please go ahead (full ahead not to ASTERN) and good luck for everything and last i excuse for other remarks could i highlighted ?
thanks for everything and good luck

Hahhaa happy reaction sir. Napa yes!!! Hahhaa. Kakaba lang ang board or PCB
elevator is like part of the necessities onboard. if you can't fix it, all eyes are on you.
True deck and engine are always eeying on lecky. That's the challenge for a lecky.
What kinda controller you are working on you have it very Good to have a book explaining everything to you ....

Leckyjake lang sakalam. Lupet mo idol. Sana maging kasing galing din kita, I'm soon to join onboard na rin as assistant electrician. 🙏😇
good luck sa biyabe mo lods and journey mo. Dapat sa susunod ETO ka na
Galing talaga.
Salamat
The moment sir✌
Thanks
Hi, thak you for this vedio, please could you explain just for the x40 and x41 I can't see theme on the wirring diagram. Thanks a lots
Big thanx sir Leckyjake..
Thank you for supporting the channel
Nice job sir
👍👍👍👍
Lek sana gumawa kpa ng mas maraming vlog.
main issues may be come from door operator or sensor, but sometimes single system reset can solve the issue like this in lifts
You're the amazing 🫶🛟🛟🛟🚢🚢🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠👏👏👏 troubleshooter 😊😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm confused. When you showed the n24 and m24, it displayed nearly 26v, but you stated it had 24v, isnt electrical equipment sensitive to overvoltage?
hello leckyjake greetings
Do you know any online site that you can recommend me to do the ME-C course?
Sir may video kana po ba kung paanu ka nag simula sa pagiging E.T.O? REE/RME po ako sir balak ko po din mag barko baka may advice ka po hehe. Salamat sir. Keep safe!
Imma gonna be marine electrician one day
Thats my dream job
Follow your dream and good luck
How was the indicator light on MCA still on but not engaging the relay.?
Interesting. And what about when the the elevator is going up and down without anyone to press the button
That relay was reading good, howcome you didn't assume the contactor was bad? maybe some of you other guys can respond, i am curious.
Sir, can you do a video on maintenance of high voltage alternator? And also its meggaring procedure
That would be good to see?
Will put that on the list. Thank you for the support
Am sure maybe its my misunderstands after interchange the VCB#3 on Genset #4 problem was cleared (NO REVERSE POWER TRIP ON VCB) , Cause of that logic action to open VCB#4 to find out the defective parts.
Continues for my first comment on REVERSE POWER AT GENSET#4
That is correct. Hello Eyad, First of all thank you for watching my videos and really appreciate the time. After interchanging, no more nuisance reverse power trip happen and the Generator can be put on loas using the other VCB hence there is no problem on the curcuit side of the Generator that is why I focused in opening the VCB only.
