True Reach in freezer with iced up coil

Trouble shoot a true TS-23F reach in freezer with an iced up evaporator. How

[@themat8090]

The bag of spray foam is only offered in their high efficiency models that’s a $600 add on! Not many customers understand the Engery savings included with that bag of foam

Hey Dave. Just wanted to say that I have really been enjoying your videos. I just found your channel a couple of days weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos. Very informative videos and I know, for me at least, has helped me with some refrigeration and ice maker issues I have ran into at work. Keep up the good work man.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Alex thanks for watching

[@Eddy63]

Enjoyed the stroll through the neighborhood Super -Dave ... When I first saw that package in the freezer , it reminded me of something someone might snort ... Lol ... Good vid ...

[@Gears.and.Gadgets]

Nice work. Very unusual to find a bag of spray foam in the evaporator pan.

[@staceyfisher1479]

Maybe it was put there to keep the pan from vibrating?

[@soloryderrr]

YOur cat is awesome!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Jordan Maz that cat attacked a dog that barked at the kids when they were younger. I wished I filmed it.

[@throttlebottle5906]

not sure what's funnier, the cat being stubborn or Dave's meowing :))

[@apprenticephil649]

Uh oh. You found their coke stash Dave!

[@jrregan]

In the industry, it's call product.

[@aladdinsa2004]

That is thermal disk switch for heater. good job sir

[@FireandFrostHVAC]

First comment on a Nor-Cal Dave video! Finally! I’ve never seen a bag of spray foam inside an evap pan before... 🤣🤣🤣 go True go...

[@socalcasedog]

Im gonna say the foam couldve been used for shipping and no 1 paid attention to the install manual....

[@OcRefrig]

very possible. a 5 year old foam block might look like that. it was not removed on start up. packaging material that got tossed around in shipping or manufacturing.

[@socalcasedog]

@@OcRefrig yep....worked on a 49 once that the customer stated that "its never really worked right since they installed it". Foam block between the coil and back wall was blocking half the coil off....even had a sticker on it 'for shipping only, removed on install'. 🤣

[@OcRefrig]

hahahaha. thats a good one. i love it when i hear a customer say that a machine has never really worked right since day one. thos are allways good finds when u correct those problems. really satisfing when the customer says Wow, NOw this this runs Like its supposed to . runs like a new machine.

[@tcphvacr9950]

I'm reminded of a meme I saw a while back when you had your pets in the video. "A dog is able to learn up to 250 words and gestures. A dog can count up to five and perform simple math. Equivalent human age: 3. A cat doesn't give a fuck and is sick of your shit. Equivalent human age: 42." I have both, and it's so true 😂

[@OcRefrig]

Cool Vid ! i ran the serial number on that one she's a 2013 unit. made jan 2013. so a 5 year old unit. so its out of warranty on everything. so, it's possible a normal failure of that high temp limt but, the controller might be sticking too in defrost and never coming out. thats what i'm betting. since that limit should never see 90 degree's. so, for the New guys out there, make sure you tell a customer that the controller might be sticking and or it may have other issues that caused the limit to pop. that limit is a safety that sholud never see 90 degree's in defrost unless there is a issue in defrost where the heaters never come out of Defrost. that limt breaks the line voltage to the heater element directly. without that the unit would go into nuclear meltdown if it ever sticks in defrost, so don't EVER think of bypassing it. ( unless u are going to stand there and watch it / for test purposes only. )

[@bblazeff1]

I went on a call, 3 door true case , low temp was reading 285° on the temp alarm, it was stuck in defrost, the klixon was bad. I couldn't believe it got that hot lol

[@ralphhalili8511]

thanks for the tips brother but I have a couple questions, is that limit automatically closes back the connection at 40f even you went over 90f? also the reason for freeze up is the unit was in defrost for too long, the limit didn't cut it out, it cuts off to its set time or like you said the controller might be sticking in defrost for too long. the box was hot and when it went to refrigeration mode all the heat causes the evap coil to freeze up is that correct? thanks brother

[@AgentFunk]

I waited the whole video for you to say Iced up coilatitus.. 😞😞😞

[@throttlebottle5906]

he has us all ruined, I said it in my head to myself :))

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Jordan Rayburn damn I didn’t say it.

[@westhedrummist]

I find myself saying it to clients, it will be in the text books!

[@RobertMcLeanavalonair]

Nor-CAlisms. Can also include-Frosty The Snowman. Multiple Offender. I find myself using those also.

[@RG_sssSMOKING]

Andy the attack cat!!!! I thought that bag of foam was a bag of cheese. Git-R-Done Andy!!!!

[@philltafolla]

Nicely done Dave the Dave emoji 👉🏼😎

[@scottk0623]

I found a case of Pledge spray furniture polish in a blower compartment of a new furnace when I unpacked it off the pallet?

[@throttlebottle5906]

got ice, was it trying to grow up and be an ice machine? :))

[@jcc3279]

Dave, you got one Cute Cat and Cute Dog. I Have three cats 1 male and 2 females all rescues. And I have two male beagles both are rescues. Pets are awesome. Nothing like coming home from a long day of dealing with BS and having your animals come up for attention. By the way, I just got a TRUE GDM-23 from a friend who owns the local truck stop. They got new coolers. With the help of your videos, I was able to replace the sqeeky fan motor. I use this old Beverage Cooler for keeping Bottled Water and stuff and overflow groceries cold in my house.

[@mclovin2232]

Nor-Cal Dave at home when it's still day light?!

[@nickanto]

True does some unexplainable shit.

[@jerryfrigeration]

The T-23 F ... bad bad bad

[@glennsepelak5113]

You are a GREAT cond coil cleaner.... why do you not carry a shallow pan to catch the rinse off? 3" deep and 24" x 36" ?????????????????????????????????? just sayin.. I just clicked on one of your Vids, did not watch this one but watch VERY many. Been doing this all my life am 56.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

I like the clean up, the customer thinks you really care when you mop there floor. And the workers respect you when you ask for the mop in Spanish. You’ll learn all my tricks just keep watching 👍👍

[@mccutcheonservicesllc81]

Did you call True tech and ask them about it? I'm curious, never seen that before.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

McCutcheon Services LLC no I have not.

[@efraineuceda1244]

nice cat. amigo...

[@randomrefrigeration4564]

The bag of spray foam bandit strikes again!!!

[@andrewmattas3595]

When I was an apprentice we found a similar thing in the same spot and on a peice of shit fridge from China was wrapped 3 different layers of material. it was a light brown/white powder inside 100% certain it was used to make drugs. My tradie took it home, no idea what he did with it Haha 🤔😂

[@Refertech404]

#lifeisgood 👍👍👍👍

[@airmechanical7163]

I thought it was their coke stash.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Air Mechanical 😂 I thought I scored. Lol

[@harrydickson4575]

👍👍👍

[@SeanMackBuffaloStyle]

Sounded like a motor boating kitty

[@throttlebottle5906]

what in the hell was that glob, didn't look like spray-foam and what was the gray strings? maybe petrified drugs, soap on a rope, nasty dirty baking (cocaine) soda? :))))

[@OcRefrig]

glob looks like spray foam, looks like the guys trigger got stuck and it went crazy. some manufacturers insulate spots on the drain pan to stop sweating. looks like it went a ry. grey strings are the drain liine heater to keep ice from blocking the drain tubing that leaves the bottom of the evaporator.

[@throttlebottle5906]

oh right, forgot about the drain heaters, he only said freezer 20+ and it still didn't register. DOH. something still fishy about that foam though

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

when they leave the doors open to long it warms up and wont defrost .wire a switch on the cover to by pass sensor so it can defrost.label norm and by pass.you wont have to disassemble.hope it helps.
