Supermarket Refrigeration- Troubleshooting Iced Up Reach-In, Electric Defrost (Found Wonky Wiring)

[@TheMax13542]

nice, like how u test the heaters, i usually just poke them and burn my fingers.

[@zack9912000]

yep and have a reminder for a week and yet i still accidentally touch them

[@refer_insight]

Just happened to me, i didn’t think a drain line heater wasn’t working and now my index finger is burned lol

[@dioncurtiscurtis3188]

I know we’re joking but I don’t fault y’all for doing that,I still touch the discharge line to make sure it’s burning properly 😂

[@DelbertQuentin]

I believe that was in the 'dingle-berry' section of the ice cream section :) I know you would have checked, but failed to mention that you should always check for proper door closures (air infiltration) during the troubleshooting process. Great job!

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

Great comment Dale thank you for pointing that out! Definitely something I should have mentioned :)

[@CommAirMax]

good troubleshooting content, thanks

[@dioncurtiscurtis3188]

Supermarket tunes never seem to miss😂

[@joesolis8423]

Great informative video man, thanks can you do one with hot gas defrost and pressure differential valves

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

Sure !

Min 2:20 Do you leave your cart and tools unattended in the store-customer area?

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

Sometimes I do. It depends on the store in the location. If a store is in a more unsavory area I will take it with me or hiding in the back room so my setup is complete. Sometimes it's hard to transport so many Tools around so sometimes I have to leave it

"Nightmares in HVAC" Am starting a new playlist, HVAC - Miss-Wirings. * * * * Have seen a couple other videos where the tech had to figure out somebody else's miss-wiring. I can see why it "goes with the territory". Wiring is complicated - easy to screw up. * * * Any thoughts on why "the other guy" might have made this wiring "hack"? Answered on Min 14:30 : bad clixon (sp?); wired 'around' the bad clixon to the next reach-in and took power from that.

“Unable to figure out, recommend entire rack replacement.” Thank goodness this guy knows what he’s doing.

[@jimmyp5487]

Nice find

[@davidgathings8379]

Good job

[@matthewcaldwell6536]

Nice find. Sometimes it’s not the low hanging fruit.

[@dioncurtiscurtis3188]

Yea no kidding 😂

[@ptsbc941]

Lol they thought they were being slick by connecting to one temp sensor 😂🤣

[@RefrigerationTech72]

What State you work in ?

[@jonnymac31]

Sweet dude.

[@randomrefrigeration4564]

Thanks

3rd viewing: "For those just tuning in...": "What really happened": Wire #3 for the fans worked its way out of the wire nut and got disconnected. Previous tech couldn't figure that out (I can see why) but had to come up with a solution, so he "freaked out" and connected the fan power from next door to the fans that stopped running. Uh boy... Is that basically right/what happened?

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

Yes :)

[@ZachReifsnider]

I see the hill defrost heater problem isn't isolated.

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

So is that something that you have found from like other hill cases ?

[@lisab3396]

👌👍👍

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

"Now that _plug_ works"? Um... a plug is at the end of a power cord that you put _into_ an _outlet._ Are you sure you didn't mean "outlet" instead?

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

Outlet lol 😆

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@gendronhvac-r1269: Sorry, did I misunderstand something? Did you unplug something from a jack or whatever that didn't work? Does that not let power OUT of it?

[@gendronhvac-r1269]

@@HelloKittyFanMan. No I just totally said the wrong thing. I just thought it was funny. I mix up words a lot. Definitely a character flaw 😅. When I first started I called everything with suction for like 2 months. Words are not my strong suit. And hindsight I guess without context the previous comment might have seemed dismissive sorry if it came off that way.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

"Also... as well"? Oops!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Hi, I've noticed that sometimes KZbin doesn't notify the creator of new replies made to that creator in an already existing thread. So this is just to let you know that I've replied to that you in that other thread, so go ahead and add a reply there if you want. And then delete this one.

Speak louder

[@jrh86]

What !!

He’s in the grocery store, not trying to look like a lunatic shouting into a freezer case.
