Nice job. I love the condenser stand! Great use of cinder blocks!! Worst I 've seen was a hack job down in Miami at a gas station/convenience store, where the condensing unit was "mounted" on a plastic egg crate, no rain shield. Gotta love those unlicensed contractors!!
i wouldnt wanna mess with that, didnt really look if the coil was in good shape or not. I would go for a new evap and condenser and line set of course. the owners put this on hold long enough, time for them to spend!
Like your name says. I shift the decision making process to the customer. If they don't want to fix it or whatever else I recommend then it's all on them. It's all noted on the paperwork what I find and recommend. Everything's about noting it on the paperwork as a backup plan in case they try to shift blame to you too get out of paying.
🤣🤣 It has lived a life of constant abuse but I didn't do anything that it's father shouldn't have done. I tried to make it the cooler it was built to be but hanging out with the wrong crowd will cause you to age prematurely. 😉😁😁😊
Besides those few minor flaws , the unit was O K ... Lol ... Good vid as usual Slick Rick ... I always liked the electrical troubleshooting ... When you guys live streaming again ?

Yikes! How do they stay in business without taking care of their equipment? The recovery cost of equipment neglect is much higher than maintaining it properly.
These were fairly new owners who had moved into the building maybe a year earlier. I don't know what it was used for prior to. So you can't blame them for the condition it's in, it didn't just happen in the last year. But yes the owner or the previous people that leased the building did not take very good care of it but that's not uncommon.
Nooice , I hate leaving weak @rse wires in too . On the side note , I wish you guys would stop using refrigerant as a leak detection tool , we've been forbidden to do so for years now . We just switched to using Trace-a-gas , which is just a mix of 95% nitrogen with 5% hydrogen , then you either use a hydrogen detector or some newer leak detectors , like the one my employer provided , does detect both HFC , HFO and hydrogen , which is quite handy . And the great thing is , it doesn't cost that much more than regular nitrogen either . Last thing : Do you think Big Blue would have made it easier to pin point the leak ? At last I managed to find 1 supplier that imports it and it keeps blowing me away how sensitive it is , if you spay it with a steady bubble free stream .
Using a refrigerant a trace gas is still legal here. It's kind of like countries such as China that do whatever they want while we pay the big price to do it by the book. ( They were found in 2019 dumping CFC gas into the atmosphere LOL.) Big blue works great for a lot of things but in this scenario the pressure was so high that it just blew it right off and didn't bubble at all until I dropped the pressure down to about 10psig. That's why a lot of times they'll say start low and work your way up. I'm very impatient so I start high and work my way down LOL
@@HVACRSurvival yeah I know it's super frustrating to be treated like we're the bad guys when we know for a fact other countries couldn't give two sh*ts , but I keep telling myself that at least I can do my part to not add oil to the fire innit . Btw , because I know you're a tool enthousiast like I am , if you get the chance , it would be cool if you could review vaccum gauges and give tips on how to use them efficiently and how to properly maintain them . Thank you very much indeed Rick 🤜🤛
Could your leak detector have been going nuts due to a humidity change? I have a auto reset fieldpiece and it will automatically reset so it’s not detecting the humidity. My old detector used to do the same if I stuck it near a cold coil or wet area. As in the first leak detector you used?
No, I haven't had any problems with Inficon on those types of false alarms. I had a ton of problems with the Fieldpiece detectors. I had both IR and Heated Diode and hated them both. They make good items but leak detectors are not one of them in my opinion.
@@HVACRSurvival I have learned very little of your language. I want to learn more by watching videos and some programs, I usually use translation for now, but.
That start cap blow hole, she was blown! And no bleed resistor. I'm surprised you didn't start out checking for charge. Might have saved time and labor. FUBAR!
I asked the customer if it had been running good before it stopped and they say yes so that eliminates a lot of things but I had to get the compressor running before I could check the charge. It was one thing after another and it was at the last part of the day and a new customer at that.
@@HVACRSurvival Just sayin the problem you see sometimes isn't the only problem. And I agree you would have to see if it would run for accurate diag. Hard to believe it was "running good", maybe like "it was running when I parked it" LOL
@@HVACRSurvival lol, im not sure why but i like these types of video? lol, anyways you, HVACR Videos, Curious HVAC Guy are in my option some of the best HVAC youtubers i have seen, not saying there's not other channel's out there but im just saying these are some of the best HVAC channel's i have seen
Thanks for checking out the newest video! Check it out and leave me some feedback. If you liked it smash the thumb!
Good job Rick.
Thanks 4 watching John!
“At this point they’re just dead in the water - they’ve already had the cooler emptied out.” 😂😂😂😂
Exactly👍💯

Didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Um ma’am your going to need a whole new system.
New coil & condenser in my opinion. Better safe than sorry.
I agree, this was 2 weeks ago and I haven't been back yet. 🤷♂️
i wouldnt wanna mess with that, didnt really look if the coil was in good shape or not. I would go for a new evap and condenser and line set of course. the owners put this on hold long enough, time for them to spend!
Hard work here
Thanks Pepsi!
What do you do with that, keeping costs down has gone out the window

I like that leak detector. Part per million read out very nice.
I did a review of it and the newest one that's less money but just as sensitive.
Great video!
Thanks BCB! Stay safe out there.
Thanks! Same to you man!!
What a big picture 😎. That unit is broke good.
Nope..... It's busted real good 😉🤣🤣
Awesome job! Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks bud 👍👍. I appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome, thanks 4 watching!
thanks for the video
Thanks For Watching it IR!
You are the man !
I'm just a dork that makes videos of things people like to watch 🤓😉👍👍. Thanks Teddy 🐻!
Poor sad little unit tell us your story of abuse 😔
🤣🤣 It has lived a life of constant abuse but I didn't do anything that it's father shouldn't have done. I tried to make it the cooler it was built to be but hanging out with the wrong crowd will cause you to age prematurely. 😉😁😁😊
@@HVACRSurvival 😂😂😂 omg yes poetry right here 😂😂😂
🤓😉👍👍🤜🤛💯
Good one
Thanks man!
May as well just quote a new unit
Besides those few minor flaws , the unit was O K ... Lol ... Good vid as usual Slick Rick ... I always liked the electrical troubleshooting ... When you guys live streaming again ?
Tonight. Trying every Sunday 830pm Eastern.
Another great one 👍👍👍
Harry is on the house 👍👍. Thank man!
Nice video 👍

I'm sure you might have seen it but I did a review on both of the newest Inficon detectors.
Nice job and video
Thanks Donnie 👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks very helpful.
No problem 👍
6 amp with no refrigerant ??? smal compressor ? bad klixon ? bad compressor !

That’s good info, hope they can turn it around.
I Hope so.... I'd like to be paid for the job cuz I didn't collect LOL

The only vacuum gauge I got the Blue Vac. That's been the best vacuum gauge I've ever had, I've never had one last as long as that one has

@@HVACRSurvival wasn’t sure I just know some detectors go nuts when they are introduced to a cold or wet climate all of a sudden
@@kevinblasingim7613 I know what you mean, I had a hard time finding the right ones for me. Not fun or cheap. lol

just tell them change the in and out.
