PLEASE HURRY WE HAVE NO ICE

[@JeffreyJakucyk]

OMG thank you for finally peeling the plastic off your gauge! You have no idea how long that had been bugging me.

[@buixote]

Polycarbonate film works good, if you would like to protect your screen. I use it on my phones. Love the videos, though I am a civilian. Best wishes for the New Year!

[@analogmoz]

Of all the things you could take from these educational videos...

[@robtorres5518]

It's like my Grandma with her couches, drives me nuts

[@RjsEpicAdventures]

Agreed !

[@homelan8851]

It had also driven me completely crazy. Thanks 👍

[@zman0900]

I'm a computer programmer, not an HVAC tech, but I watch a bunch of these kinds of videos just because I like to learn how stuff works. Always impressed by the way you work. Some of the ways you go about figuring out the problems are surprisingly similar to the way I approach figuring out a bug in some old legacy code, like always observing everything you can before starting to mess with things.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

That's awesome

[@philmerrifield1163]

First hvacr video of the year. Happy new year Chris. Hope you have a great one

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Happy new year to you as well

[@krazykidmusic4954]

Recently had our old fridge in the basement die. The compressor was clicking off on overload and the food got warm, remembering your videos diagnosing the starting components on reach ins and glycol units, I decided to take the bottom panel off and investigate the compressor to see if we could save the fridge (and some money). I checked the capacitor and that tested good, so next thing I did was removed the start relay and overload protection. When I removed the box with those components in it, there was definitely stuff shaking inside. When I opened it, I found burn marks and the start relay completely disintegrated. I also checked the compressor for shorts and there were none. I then bought replacement starting components (all 3 as you say to do) and the fridge started back up! Your videos our not only informative, they have saved me money! Thank you so much and hope you have a great 2025 as well!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Great way to start the new year

[@krisrosvold5007]

Chris. You absolutely are a special guy. You've been in this trade a good while now but have managed to keep your ethical code and Give-A-Shit intact. As a Refrigeration Tech since 2004, I know how difficult that can be some days. I also know how many guys have a bad case of the Fuckits because I'm cleaning up their messes on the daily. On top of that you're doing your best to teach folks, which is simply noble in itself. You deserve and have earned every bit of kudos you get. 🎉❤ Thanks for being you!!

[@themilitantvegan2515]

Your videos have helped me a lot. I have a decade of experience with ice machines and refrigerators. On January 6, I will start attending school to join the Pipefitters union. I have been working for a union company since July. They work with walk-in coolers, AC, heating, refrigeration, and ice machines. Watching your videos has helped me a ton. I recently mentioned it to you on Facebook. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.

[@alext424]

You’re just a normal guy, but you have an abundance of knowledge that you’re willing to share with us all. Awesome work as always. Thanks again Chris! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

That's kind of you to say, thanks for watching and happy new year

[@pollomatrix]

I'm an IT guy, and I work from home, the other day my AC failed, thanks to what I learned from your videos I was able to figure out that the starting capacitor of the compressor had died, I'm still waiting for the replacement but thank you for what you teach us through all your videos.

[@jessechavez8254]

Love the new format at the end. Feels more personal. Keep up the great content. Happy new year to you and family. Have a safe and Prosperous year!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud, Happy new year

[@ComfortCoolJ]

I appreciate the videos, the explanations, the humor, the effort. I need to be good in this field for myself and my children. You're helping me out a lot

[@richardbartlett6932]

Out of the HVAC yt'bers yours is one of the most consistant high quality. There are a few around who film their days and I watch through fingers quite distraught at what they are doing to customers equipment. Constantly guessing and part changing. Your channel is the go to for any ( esp young) engineer wanting to expand his diagnostic skills. HNY

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I appreciate that

[@burn0u71]

i work for a local HVAC company in the IT department. we have about 240 employees, and 12 stores in the Northwest. you chris are a dying breed. you are fair, honest, you are there for the customer, informative, helpful, you always look out for the customer, and you are a great teacher. i've learned alot about the inner workings of AC/heating units even more than i have working for a HVAC company. though my job I don't have to know anything about HVAC since i just fix computers and servers, it is nice to be able to learn from a pro. keep it up, and thank you. happy 2025

[@Bobherry]

I really liked the followup at the end with you at the computer editing the video rather then the normal way. It feels more personal.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I think it worked out pretty well

[@Bobherry]

@@HVACRVIDEOS Please do it more.

[@malcolmwhite821]

I am an HVAC Controls Programmer and really like watching your vids. Reminds me of my old Service Days.

[@Hopefullymarried]

These videos have helped me tremendously in my new venture as a hvacr tech…. Green bean not knowing anything. I’m learning a ton from what you share. Thank you🍻

[@bob76451]

I know you’ve done it before, but I just wanted you to know that I really appreciated the timelapse on the wide view while you were installing the fan cycle control. Made following what you’re doing a lot easier.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback

[@aungthiha5050]

I still love the moment when the 80 music kick in. Way to go Chris. I been your fan since 2020.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks for sticking around

[@billlaporte8255]

Love the time accelerate showing the install man... nice job! Great Vid.

[@DelticEngine]

Thanks for another concise, helpful and informative video, Chris. You're my go-to HVAC channel because your videos always have some really useful information in them that helps a lot. I hope you had a great Christmas and wish you (and your family) a happy and prosperous new year!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud and happy new year to you as well

[@lqueryvg666]

Good Stuff!!!! Happy New Year!!!!! First vid of the year!!! Loved it.....

[@kenward9968]

I work on a lot of the same equipment, under similar conditions. Always late in the day and under pressure. So when I see a great tip, trick, or tool, it truly makes my life easier. A great example would be using the appion core depressors. I didn't know they even existed until I watched you use them (Game changer!) Thanks Chris!

[@kat2641]

😂😂 @3:50 made me lol an think back to my Dads words when I was a kid and learning Son this is a do as I say NOT as I do !! 🤣🤣🤣 every so often Dad would get bit an of course a few choice words an say well that good for the arthritis…. lol the first time I got bit I just about peed my pants 😂😂😂 But them pressure controllers rarely do I not have to tweak them 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nice work !! An lol I never remove the plastic protectors 🤣🤣🤣 I let them remove themselves over time or when they get unreadable then an only then do I remove it . After a year or two of use It’s nice to have a un scratch screen to work with ❤❤ (Edited fur a spell boo boo)

[@rickmarr4744]

Happy New Year to you and your family and crew.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud, happy new year to you as well

[@richardrogginger7033]

Watching these videos has helped me improve my game. I'm not an HVAC guy - I do component level electronics repair - but I now apply the "Big Picture" to my workflow. I've been doing this for 50 years and still I have room for improvement. Happy 2025 to all!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Glad to hear it, happy new year

[@mcwolfbeast]

Just want to say I started watching your channel knowing almost nothing of HVAC - as I watched, I learned a lot, so thank _you_ for continuing to publish these videos in 2025 and hopefully beyond!

[@ohiopsdfordman]

I own a truck and trailer repair company. I love watching your videos and learning new diag stuff even tho we work on different stuff diag is the same for anything. Keep up the awesome content.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks for watching

[@blackknight1976]

Youve given me a better understanding of how this stuff works and its helped me fix a few things instead of having to throw them out like before. Thanks!

[@dashcamandy2242]

Happy New Year everybody! **glances around nervously** I have an eight-year-old Vizio TV that still has the protective film around the frame - including the Energy Guide sticker. And four Seagate external hard drives, a 2012 HP Pavilion micro-tower PC, and two MP3 players that still have protective film on them. The longer you can tolerate that film, the longer your [insert gadget name here] will last. This is especially true with anything that has a polycarbonate (plastic) viewing window. Once that protective film is off, the window is highly susceptible to scratches - especially fine windblown (or finger-wiped) dust. Your manifold set cost a pretty penny, I see no problem in getting your money's worth out of it. 12:01 - After executing a brilliant and well-composed cutaway like that, you're gonna sit there and try to tell us you're not perfect?! 😆 And yes, you raise an excellent point about telling restaurants to get a bulk delivery of ice when the ice machines are down. It will take hours of non-use to fill a medium-sized bin. During a lunch/dinner rush, two dozen 10-lb bags of ice won't last you more than an hour. As I've blabbed on about in the past, I've learned so much from watching you work, even though I'm not in the field. I've learned how to diagnose and maintain my store's equipment, saved hundreds of dollars cleaning coils on in-window AC units (instead of replacing the units when they stopped working well), and I have a much deeper understanding of how automotive AC works (because the basics are universal - compressor, evaporator coil/fan/ducting, condenser coil and fan, high and low pressure cutouts, etc). The main reason I keep coming back is because you are a no-BS tech, you adhere to "Big Picture" mentality, you give the client an honest appraisal and let them make their own decisions, and you always try to do right by them. Your presentation is matter-of-fact, not dramatic-cranked-up-to-10; on the rare moments your exasperation or anger shows through, it's more effective, because you're usually so chill. (Plus, I never know when I'm going to learn some little nugget of info that might come in handy in the future!)

[@flipschwipp6572]

About the Ice Delivery: many Refrigeration companys here offer services on top of the service call repairs like bringing a cooling trailer with them to the emergency call to store the food befor it would thaw or even deliver ice with their cooling trailer. This is the fastest fix for the customer who will happily pay extra for the convenience and will differentiate them from competitors.

[@Akkillies]

I've been following you for years, you didn't get lucky, you put in the work.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I appreciate that

[@JBaxter-u8n]

Thanks Chris, happy near year to you too, like the new angle for the 'after talk', might be the angle of the camera, but feels a bit more informal.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Awesome, glad you like it

[@THEBRAINANAYTOR]

I’m an electrician who does grocery store remodels (night work) and we work with the refrigeration guys and they spike my interest but I won’t go away from electrical but I love learning different trades and techniques

[@tinymanthebeast]

I like using leak sealant with die in it, a black light around the piping . I have found many leaks that way. I know you can't really do that on mini splits . But I have no idea if you have do that on refrigeration equipment. I have learned a lot about refrigeration watching your videos. It definitely looks harder than regular HVAC equipment. I really don't like doing residential, residential is easy work from my experience. it's just the customers complaining about the bill. I have roped up condensers like the one you are working on up the side of the building. I like working on big HVAC equipment like chillers and the bigger package units . I would like to learn everything I can about the HVAC -R industry so I really appreciate that you make these videos. Happy new year 🎊

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud, happy new year

[@jasonfleming9867]

Totally agree ran into this many times waiting to the last minute and expect superman to shown up and fill the bin up in an hour crazy even if you fix the problem immediately takes time to fill the bin up.

you always do good "walk and talk" content (well, not walking, but moving around, describing, point-in-time summaries), but it was nice to see the timelapse approach this time. I'm sure the physical environment doesn't always allow it, but this was cool.

The math isn't to terrible, some addition and subtraction here and there, nothing crazy

[@nrs135]

Do you actually have distributors open that can deliver ice within an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon? You'd think they'd figure it out during Friday night's service or when they opened Saturday and made the calls before dinner time.

[@PedroHenrique-cu6fq]

why some machines like this one require a fan cycle and ac's for example run the fan all the time ?

[@BEASTWRANGLER]

Thank you thank you for reinforcing the ice thickness for "slabs vs individual cubes" on these Machines. We run into that constantly. Including a couple where employees have just enough knowledge and adjust it for their understanding. Which of course is wrong. Other thing is cleaning and sanitizing them properly
