I taught and managed A/C classes at a vo-tech school for 13 years. We had 8 Snap-on recycle machines. Just Robinaires with a higher price tag. OMG, this video brought back memories! The reason for programming the filter # is so you cant cheat and just re-use the old filter. Older machines didn't require that until the EPA stepped in. That Stupid O-ring on top always gave me fits! They NEVER fit right! I was surprised to see the new one already set in its groove. First time I've seen that. You CAN cheat on the vacuum pump oil, but why? You could see the oil was contaminated, and pumps lose their efficiency with crappy oil, so it's worth it to replace the oil. You did fine as usual! No REEEE at all!
Well, now RUclips has saved us the trouble of looking at down-thumbs. Thank you RUclips. RIght? Now we can't see them so they no longer exist. Yay RUclips, good going... yeah
I think Ray should have left the machine plugged in especially when he sprayed the parts cleaner on it no don't do that I did electrical work live and that's how my hair got curly but I'm still here to talk about it hey guys bye and don't do the silly things we did years ago we were lucky
Yeah and those were the ones that did the least amount of out of my job title stuff and when I went to use a piece of equipment or machinery I wanted it to run as good as possible because I was doing precision work and I wanted to make sure my job came out right
I was a carpenter at large university for 36 years. All the plumbers, and fitters had those angry pliers. Borrowed them a couple times for door hardware that was seized, bought my own years ago, I’m retired now and still use them occasionally at home for stuff !
Looking at the condition of that sight glass I'm pretty sure that pump is very contaminated, check the users manual for cleaning procedures and flushing. I flush my pumps with solvent and PAG150 and I still use a Robinair 6 CFM with 18 years of service.
Yea vacuum pump oil gets dirty.. especially with so many different systems being pumped down with the same unit.. vehicle ac’s especially.. vacuum pump oil is supposed to get dirty tho, it filters out shit and pulls crap out naturally.. you just gotta worry when you start seeing any dye in there…. Ive watched some new techs try to pump down systems through the pump with the recovery in wrong and it fill up the pump with refrigerant.. when they disconnect it the thing shits out everything to atmosphere and coats the entire shop in a fine layer of oil.. lol.. funny to watch em freak out running out of a big smoke cloud thinking their gonna die from breathing in the 134.. lol..
It's so refreshing to see you do things that are "above and beyond" in most people eyes, but what you are doing is being responsible and doing your job. Most people would just say "it's not my job", just passing it on to someone else or not think about it at all. In the mean time they sit there bitchin and moanin cause "things never work right around here". I would much rather have service equipment work properly and repair it myself if needed instead of just passing it off for a couple reasons. The firstly reason is if I do it myself I know it got done, and secondlier, it is appreciated by everyone even if they don't say anything because the work can continue without a service call costing the company money they didn't need to spend (other people don't give a shit about that kinda stuff). Thank you for doing good things and for having common sense to do the right thing.(Click)
This attitude comes from shitty places of employment, where the employer doesnt pay staff enough money or through actions and company enviroment shows employees that they arent valued much. So you end up with the "Thats not my job mentality" Where they see wow im a clerk or whatever at xyz job but also is a mechanic, computer tech etc, be it from prior apprenticeship or just getting out of college, and the business doesnt pay the employee a bonus for doing the work that would have you call an out a third party for, or the bosses show no recognition or praise for their talented staff. So you end up with that apathy of just doing what they were hired to do and nothing else but the bare minimum
The small details is what really sets the great technicians apart. It’s a shame the last person just half-assed the filter-drier replacement, forgot the o-ring and then just threw a couple of rags in the bottom of the unit to soak up the leaking oil… Great job!
It's always good to see people do stuff outside of the job description the last place I work guys would say this is my job and this is all I'm going to do I did the rest though have a good day guys
Only adjustable wrenches I use. I love them but unfortunately I don't have any over a few years old as they seem to grow legs. They are one of the few tools I have go missing often that I buy the better ones again
i gotta say something..been watching ur vids love them..i love working on cars would be working on them for 6 yrs now? when i started i was 20.. got to a dealership when i was 22..quit when i was 24 as most people r very dodgy miss diag a lot of times..i was basically the dude that when the tech didn't have enough time i did the grunt work alot of brakes suspension tune ups.axles.. stuff that not super difficult..i seen a bunch of customer come back as they say what we did didn't fix it so we threw more parts at it..i couldn't be apart of that..alot of people know nothing and get screwed.. im glad there someone who actually teaching people.. wish i found some one like you to apprentice under a lot of knowledge and knows how to do stuff the right way for the customer :D
We did this annually and replaced hose fittings as well . Saved the old fittings just in case . Every other year, replaced hoses as well. Not being able to evacuate. A car because of something that was avoidable is a waste. Also changed the oil on the air compressor and looking for leaks in same month, usually in January our slowest month.
Years ago I started in plant maintenance what servicing all the machine shop equipment and apprenticeship opened up they offered me the job 6 years later I was running the shop now I always went the extra distance like Ray and I admire him and in the long run I will say that the go do that it will pay off in the long run because if I wasn't that way and didn't have that mentality I wouldn't be where I'm at today thank you Ray and thank you for all the people like him to do a job right the only thing I didn't say is the Chinese took over the plant and then everybody in management was told to go pack it but still it's served me well I learned a lot and again I wouldn't be where I'm at today but didn't have that kind of work ethic
Your angry pliers are a common plumber and pipe fitter tool in Germany. At least were when I lived there. I have a pair that's probably close to 40 years old.
Wonder if that missing O-ring was the cause of the machine re-checking the pressure while operating??? Let us know how it performs after this please. Great vid!!!
Almost all O-rings are like that, right? Actually, this one had the second larger ring, it looks like it compresses against the machine, so not just a plain O
Man what a work ethic you possess. I commend you, sir. I was curious about this unit. I googled it. I was thinking 6 to 8k for one of those. Found them new from 3500 to over 4k. Much better than I figured. It could pay for its self in a single season around here. Cheers from Louisiana.
I still use my grandads BACO adjustable spanners & socket & ratchet sets, I'm 42 & he used them for yrs before I inhereted them,still nice & tight with minimal play I give them a clean each Yr & their good to go for my next job.
Where o-ring went: In the trash with the box and instructions the old dryer came with. "Did you install the dryer last time?" "What's that now?" "You got to put the o-ring on those, you know?" "Huh?"
talking me here .... my day started soo sh@ty ... but when i seen both of your vid's to day im feeling MUCH BETTER..... as in " HAVE A GREAT DAY" !!!!!!!
The drier cartridge is filled with silica gel beads. You did a good job there but try to avoid spraying brake Kleen onto the control solenoid wires area because it causes the wire insulation to dry and crack. Don't worry about the cover off whilst plugged in because the entire unit is low voltage components powered by a DC step down voltage. That vacuum compressor oil looked terrible, it was clearly contaminated with moisture.
I'm sure you probably know this but its called a filter drier cuz it also filters moisture in addition to particulate. It has a moisture absorbing desiccant inside to make sure the refrigeration system is protected from moisture
Good Sunday afternoon to you hope you and your family are doing well today, Ray always remember to follow the instructions of the machine or if you piss it off it will turn off BROTHER 😲🍻
I just did the same service on the exact same machine the 2nd time this summer...yes I do alot of ac work. I like this machine cause you can do hybrids...downside to this machine is you have to manually inject oil or dye due to it servicing hybrids....can't go mixing oils for sure.
We had one at my old work. Apparently that gasket is a common problem. We had a service tech come out one time for an actual manifold issue and the first thing he checked was that gasket lol.
Between the massive UV dye leak and the waterlogged oil, that machine has not seen someone who cared about it in some time. I bet it runs significantly better now. Hopefully the check in a week doesn't reveal any further UV leaks.
Great catch Ray. Nice clean up also. Should work nice now, please let us know. It's kinda funny the machine that checks for leaks was leaking like crazy.
We must be cut from the same cloth. I thought I was the only person left who would clean dirty equipment, fix leaks, grease lift arms, calibrate tire balancers, etc.
I work on these robinair units for a living here in arizona and what happens is when that rubber cap come off the new filter itll sometimes be stuck in that cap and people wont even know. Your machine will also suck alot air into that isv white tank and can also lock you out due to high pressure
REE REEE! when spraying brake clean and mixing other chemicals in close proximity make sure and use the negative about of safety gear. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk your resident Safety Notsee
Ray buddy that compressor oil needs to be changed every 30 or so cars if not you will have premature pump failure, believe me I know 30+ year master HVACR tech. Oh by the way the UV dye is nasty stuff, but what is weird is the only thing that I have found over the years to remove it is Dawn dish soap works like it was made for removing it.

Recommended change interval is 100hrs. I am a Robinair service technician. Vacuum pumps rarely fail. I have maybe replaced 10 in 6 years for failure. I average working on 500-600 machines a year. That being said, extra service isn’t a bad thing.

Your shop should start placing a service tag on the machine and a service manual somewhere in the shop. That is bogus having someone that doesn't know what to do do it wrong. Oh, that's right, you just had two (?) lifts down? Is anyone paying attention there. Makes you wonder what other pieces of equipment need service. You do go work. I wish I could bring my car to you.
@sirthcen skoorb Yes, seems like the shop manager is more like a mangler...Unfortunately I've worked in the auto repair and service industry and it is unusual to have a truly decent and competent shop manager.
That’s almost as ridiculous as reduced speed clean dpf Gotta love how manufacturers hold you hostage. They will never hold me hostage on any product ever waste of time and money 2 things that are in short supplies these days.
There is an increasing number of products out there that will lock themselves out and require a service tech to remove said lockout. This has sparked a movement for the right to repair your own equipment!
Wouldn't the RobinAir have a system maintenance log, listing the dates and serial numbers of the replacements of the filter(s) so you could find out when the last one (with the missing 'O' ring) was installed?
That oil container you took out first. How often do you change that? That was the vacuum pump oil which collects all the dirt and moisture. Me I would change every 2 vehicles unless system was open to atmosphere for a while and then would change right after.
Early Release, because you all are awesome! 3 part series ruclips.net/video/PccEdWGJlUQ/видео.html

I'd recommend changing that vacuum pump oil a couple more times, running it between changes, and changing it more often going forward.
I would run it on a job once. Then change the oil again. That old oil looked nasty!
Ray, you are definitely an asset to your employer and company, keep up with the great work 👍
It's nice to see someone take the time to service shop equipment. Those who don't, would scream the loudest when it went out of service.
Yeah and those were the ones that did the least amount of out of my job title stuff and when I went to use a piece of equipment or machinery I wanted it to run as good as possible because I was doing precision work and I wanted to make sure my job came out right

Instead of a regular O-ring, it turned out to be a Uh-O ring. Being missing and all. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
I'm surprised the machine did not tell him there was a leak. It pretty much tells him everything else.

Mind charge the boss a half price service charge on the AC machine, an make sure he says thank you :-D
A cone wrench could be used to install that filter.... Just a suggestion...
that's a very intelligent machine
Should those calibration ports be covered between uses to avoid getting junk in them?
That oil container you took out first. How often do you change that? That was the vacuum pump oil which collects all the dirt and moisture. Me I would change every 2 vehicles unless system was open to atmosphere for a while and then would change right after.
Maybe you need to document who changes the filter. Probably the same person who missed the O ring also buggered the screws.
