Ep.#13 - Carrier Reefer Door Override

The new Carrier 7500 trailer refrigeration units now come with an automatic 'off' switch mounted on the back doors so when you open them, the reefer unit shuts off.
You can override that switch without having to unplug or disconnect anything. Most companies do not know how to do this so they can't share the info with you.
Here's how you override that door switch so you can run the reefer while the doors are open! Enjoy!

4 years later and this video still saving lives. Thanks man! (Works on 2020 models btw)

[@trell0123]

Yes sir it is. I called RA to do the override. Lol He said he couldn't do it. Ok whatever I've had it done b4 by RA. So I text back saying the shipper wants it running at -10. While trying to find something on KZbin for the override function I come across this videos. Ok so I'm about to do the instructions this guy gives and all of sudden the reefer turns on. RA turned it back on. So why lie about. I override the system anyways.

[@jonandivyjones]

@@trell0123 yeah I called RA also. They've done it before, but the 3rd shift crew, they're all a bunch of passive aggressive assholes, and they sat there and argued with me. Sitting in Florida with a -10 load. I asked him, what if this food gets rejected because it warms up, and he said that's what claims is for.......... Needless to say I was fuming, that is until I found this video. Like I said 4 years later and still saving lives.

[@BigMoney23223]

Brother you literally just saved my sanity. I'm at a shipper with a brand new trailer and couldn't get past that alarm. THANK YOU

[@MarkStaite]

You're welcome. Glad the video helped!

[@thetravelinpenshow9620]

I can't tell you how happy I was to see that 160xxx trailer sitting there since I have one behind my tractor...thanks, Mark. Interstate Warehouse is taking its time and I have a -10 degree load.

[@poacher1310]

Also doors don't have to be shut like advised in another comment. I just bypassed with the doors open and backed up to dock at shipper. Thanks again Mark. Good video. Quick to the point with no BS.

You just saved my life. 60 mins road assist still hasnt gotten bask to me. Thank you

[@bigdaddydieselsthoughtsrev3240]

Thanks brother, just got a carrier 7500 x4 today its new to me but used. Opened the doors and poof the unit shut down.... found your video and followed it step by step and it worked.... kudos brother

[@meavey38]

This saved me today. Thank you. You think Prime would set the trailer door open override. Otherwise, your unit will not pre-cool to the -10 requirement for them to begin to load you

[@abdirizakaisse2617]

[@100pyatt]

Warning; leaving the unit running while opening the doors sucks in outside air across your box and into the evaporator freezing it up. This is very hard on the $30k refrigeration unit It should never be running while the doors are open... period.

Thank you. This is the 3rd this video helps me to trouble shoot this reefer.

Life saver

[@thewrenchjockey4251]

First of all the door switches have been around long before the x4 series. Second it's an added option to the install, who ever bought the unit wanted it there. Third, you not being loaded on a cold dock so the reason the unit is set to shut off is because it will freeze up. Only time you need to disable or override the door switch is when the door are closed but your still getting the code..

This works for if your unit is on continuous lock as well.

Hi can i access by the same process the status light setting ? I’m having a problem when the reefer off because of any alarm the lights stays green never comes yellow i have heard there’s a setting for that but I have to access settings on the reefer Thanks

[@TheAdolfo1357]

please show us how to override the new s-700

[@satbirsingh6791]

Hi sir, when you start press menu twice,,, after that we need to press language button?????? Thanks and appreciate for your servecies

[@JoyceEuropean]

will this work on a UK Carrier 1950? - thanks andy

[@liizy270]

Is this for the unit to stay on with doors open or to turn off with doors open? please help!!

[@stonedpimpdaddy]

Vector 1550 can an door override be done?

[@alexastone4158]

I seem to have just had this issue on a 7300 x4. Procedure didn't produce a function key. I tried the inspection key and the display said Something about temperature control (hard to read in the sun). I pressed the left button, the screen returned to normal, the light went back to green and the reefer restarted. Is thus the procedure on a 7300 or did I just get lucky and fix it by accident?

[@3coreycampbell]

Thanks for the info. The ability to change settings seems to be locked out once I get into the menu. Any idea how to open it up? There is an asterisk in front of the options inside the override menu, and the settings won't change. Thanks again.

[@wobblewheels9309]

Same issue here.

[@navaro20]

In cycling mode If I set on 28°, temperature falls to 26°, rises to 29°, shuts off, goes to 32.5° engine, restarts and comes down again to 26° But, I want exactly to shut off at 28° and restart at 32°, not low, not over

[@DrJay-mh3ux]

Sooo how do you turn off the ones that won't turn off🤔

[@royandrade2929]

This happens on my 2012 carrier 2100A.

[@OneHonestCritic]

My refer runs continuously even when I have it set to start/stop. Once it gets down to the set temp, the heater kicks in for some reason and brings it up, and then the cool kicks on when it gets too warm.

[@MarkStaite]

It needs a shop visit. Sounds like there is a temp sensor or programming issue.

[@alekxis1404]

I wanna get in TECH MODE but I can’t, what caí I do ?

[@booyah1725]

One thing Mark forgot to mention is that your doors have to be shut during this process in order for unit to reset itself. At least that's been my experience with Prime trailers.

[@markwerner5347]

you can program it with the doors open I'm a prime driver 7500 or nothing their program with the doors open or closed so what would be the purpose if the doors are closed think about it

[@thetexastrucker7934]

No they don't. The entire process is done while ur at a dock with the doors open. In fact Mark's video is one way to do it. There's a slightly different way also.

[@mynameismatt82]

Thank you for this, Mark! RA are being a bunch of assholes and won't override it for me. This video just saved me a lot of time!

[@ezskreet]

When you try it the first time and skeptical 🤨 then🤬. Watch the video the second time 😁

[@PETIVOYAGER]

Thanks Sir’ u save my day #petivoyager

[@dexterallen2672]

My reefer never turned off while the door was open

[@elwyncarrol3883]

How do you put it in Continuous when it’s on Start and stop lock

[@MarkStaite]

Easiest way is to switch it to "Fuel Hog", set your temp, then switch to continuous. Once loaded and you pull off the door and the doors are closed, then switch it back to the normal intelliset you need.

[@thetexastrucker7934]

Just use the fuel hog or produce sensitive settings which run in continuous mode.

[@Arbknight]

If your Carrier Unit is "locked" on Start/Stop, is there away to open it to Continuous??

[@thewrenchjockey4251]

Yes

[@mohammedsiraj2496]

You're just hurting prime , you you should not be running the reefer unit with doors open on the dock !

cool video right! let your own equipment running for free put the hours on your $70,000 reefer burn diesel . just to make them happy . .... till lazy Johnny or Tyrone or Jose start doing their job.... u ppl funny just ucking funny

Thank you very much, this is awesome video, my unit shutt off today and I watch this video and I fixed , thank you help full

[@ludovicdapratto2681]

door switch always fail,not a good thing to have....save fuel? ahah no way

[@ludovicdapratto2681]

and the video that youre showing is only with the carrier ''apex'' system....let's try this with the ''advance'' or the ''summit''

[@100pyatt]

The door switch isn't about saving fuel It's about saving the box temperature. Swinging those doors open sucks in 3000 CFM of outside air and that slams the evaporator trying to keep the unit cool. You should shut the reefer unit off before you ever open the doors.... The door switch is essentially a dummy switch for people that don't know that
