@@megabadass30 A freezer 3 wire fan work when the coil hits 10 deg. It turns on the fans. the brown wire is the (x) on timer kick it out of defrost at 50 deg. So it fans turn on with no delay the is wrong. You kill the compressor. Freezer is not a cooler does not work the same. . I seen ice in the pan this is a bad drain system. Allway have a gup like a 1/18 copper ele over the drain outlet. Not rigid to pan. This pan is removable. Never hard pipe it to outlet. Moisture is sweat from Heat in defrost.

Fan delay after defrost!!!! Allow the water to drain away first after defrost then any water in the tray does not spray onto the ceiling and freeze causing the droplets on the ceiling.

The annoying thing with fridges/freezers is that people don't know how they work. They think "oh there's ice on the evaporator coil so that means its working", but they don't realize we need airflow to remove heat. I have an older lady who runs a pub and she assures me that she should be running her coolroom at -1 because "thats how she's always done it". I'm back removing ice every two months because it only has a fan controlled defrost since its a chiller and not a freezer. Every single time i get an earful, so one day i sat her down and explained the ins and outs of what happens in a refrigeration system. You'll be happy to know the next time i went there the thermostat was set at -1 again and i got another earful :)

My boss would reply, "that's fine, we will gladly take their money". I had a customer that repeatedly stabbed his evap coils when they iced up. Kept fixing leaks from the stabs. We gladly took his money.

[@chasemcnamara]

lol thats a good one. I had a restaurant supply supper center that was running a island cooler at 29F. And every month or so we would go in and have to spray down the coils to de-ice them. I tried contacting their controls company which was out of state. All the temps in the store were controlled from out of state. I finally spoke to someone there and asked them how many defrost cycles did the island cooler have. None... of course was the answer. So I told them...that case was not designed to keep ice cream cakes or to run at that temp. It was causing constant flood-back to the rack. To this day. It's running the same at a cost of valve plate and compressor replacements.

Looks exactly like the freezer where I work. My walk in has two piles of ice about 3 inches thick and a good 2 metres wide... One night when our freezer happened to be empty I took a hammer to the ice and removed it all. The managers were happy but some months later the ice had come back. Management didn't give two shits about the leak in the freezer.

Things like this always reminds me of when I used to work on my robots back in high school. And I ain't talking about the kiddie ones, but I mean full on scale robots that you can go to competitions with, some being even 8ft tall and stuff I remember one time one of my teammates was saying how well the robot was going, but it seemed it was going too fast, and I was like "well I mean that seems cool" but they were like "idk man" and so I checked it out for myself, and yea it was crazy and something I did not program it to do. I checked it out and found the motors were too old from what I can determine and it seemed to be overrunning itself for some reason (maybe they were having a mid life crisis lol), changed the motors and made sure the rest of the bot was aight, and then it worked fine. Robot did great again Few weeks later, we won 2019 UIL state championship and went to the worlds championship, was fun times

[@chasemcnamara]

That's why there's frozen water droplets all on the ceiling and spread through out the box. If you have a fan-delay switch that is not working. It will spray out water droplets every where since the fans just come on right when the t-stat calls. Water droplets all over the ceiling is an indicator that you have an issue with defrost, draining, or fan-delay. Great vid.

[@rich1051414]

I like how, instead of telling them "Everything is moisture ruined due to you guys leaving the door open", you just install a solution that will make it impossible for them to forget to close the door :) I am sure after they jump out of their skin a couple times from the alarm, they will stop doing that.

[@inoahmann7542]

I have a walk in ice cream freezer I'm working on and it has five condensing units and a refrigerated vestibule. The previous tech really messed up the defrost clocks so I have spent a fair bit of time procrastinating fixing that by working on everything else that's broken. Fortunately this is a big freezer with lots of problems so I can push off working on the defrost issues for a bit longer. What do you recommend for defrost times? I put 8 defrosts on the vestibule and took everything else from 6 down to 4 and when it defrosts the coils still just barely have any frost. Except for the vestibule of course. I think the back storage area would be fine with one defrost per day and the picking and loading area with 2. I really don't have the experience to back up my theory but I think there should be visable frost on the evaperators before it defrosts. This freezer also has issues with frost on the ceiling and floor. I think it is coming from the defrosts being to frequent.

[@BadBrad119]

i worked in a kitchen before that had the same exact problem, frost everywhere and especially around the door. The evaporator was directly in the middle of the ceiling and facing downward. Sometimes it would get so bad that the whole fan blades would be frozen and not spinning. Sometimes it would melt and drip to the floor where it would form a giant ice mountain (very safe). They said that the HVAC techs couldn't figure it out, but after working there for so long I figured they got a quote and said "screw that" especially since their station fridges constantly need to be refilled with refrigerant

[@Carstuff111]

It is funny, back when I was 17 and worked for a McDonald's, if frost built up like that in the walk in freezer, the HVAC guys didn't get called, or blamed, for the frost. We got blamed for it, because people were not making sure the doors to the freezer and cooler were fully closed. Of course, far too many people these days rather blame the people doing the maintaining of the equipment, and not their own employees..... Because why fix the actual problem when you can blame the folks that are not there causing the issue? There are no excuses for not making sure the doors close correctly. If the door is known to stick open a bit, make sure people are actually pushing it closed all the way.

[@I_Lucid_Dreamer]

I have a similar issue at my store. The grocery freezer is in just horrible shape. Wall/ceiling panels are starting to separate. I have multiple complaints, but all i can do is inspect the rack and evaporator operations. Everything checks out, but i believe the temperature rod probe from the temperature monitoring system we use is picking up the heat penetrating the walk-in. Both of my return air sensors are reading (-7) degrees and below, and I’ve tested them for proper calibration by Emerson conversion charts. Any tips?

Never seen a dixell controller like that here in Australia. Dixell controllers we have found have been the most reliable as long as they are not switching heavy load. This shows why fan delays are important so the steam 'freezes' to coil and doesnt blow around room.

Grocery store and restaurants are the worst customers. They never want anything fixed just patched. Employees are the dumbest people in the world when it comes to understanding refrigeration. I had a customer ask me why his walk in coil was staying frosted up and the box hot. I checked it out and found everything in good working order. While I was there the employees came in the cooler numerous times without ever once closing the door behind them or after leaving. I asked the shift manager why they left the door standing open and he replied that they were to busy and that opening and closing the door slowed them down. I put a spring closer on the door and though "how smart am I" the next trip I found the door propped open with milk crates. I told the owner "I give up".

This is How a Service Call With this issue SHOULD be Done ! Well done Chris & company! ( FTNGOT) unfortunately , 90% of customers will NOT Approve the cost to do this repair. ( Ftngot) - whenever i see frozen water droplets blown all across the ceiling guys u are looking at one of 2 things. most likely someone found a defective (DFTS) defrost termination switch/combination fan delay switch, did not have one on the truck and bypassed the DFTS or its just plain defective, replace it, so, what is going on is after the defrost cycle terminates the Drain pan still has water in it and the fans are coming on right after defrost Blowing any water on the coil or in the pan across the room. the box pulls down and freezes all that blown around water all over the room. u also want to make sure the drain line is clean and clear and drain line heater is fully functional. 90 percent of the time installing a New Fan delay switch / Defrost termination switch will solve this issue, but u also need to make sure All the water is leaving the drain pan within a few minutes. for customers that cannot or do not desire to drop all the cash at one time u could spread out this repair over time. replace the DFTS and check drain line first, in 3 months do a door closer, in 3 months do a door gasket. this spaces repairs over time for smaller customers and Keeps u coming back and can touch base with customers / good customer relations. FTngot = short for - For the new guys out there. Torn door gaskets are a Health department violation in california and a citable violation in california, so customers have to replace door gaskets unless they want thier business shut down- so those are a pretty easy sell and they stop doors from closing properly and cause all kinds of other problems units running all the time because the door is not closed , units shut off and come back on again too quickly stressing compressors short cycling, causing frozen evaporators on refrigerators etc, etc. good door seals are a must. Door closer on this service call was also a standout- it definately needed replaced also.

Exactly...I’m having the same issue at a hospital that we do PM’s at. The building engineers swear that’s not the problem because they say the defrost termination switch works just fine and it’s defrosting. They don’t understand what the fan delay is there for. Those coils are supposed to get cold enough to freeze any residual water left on the coils after defrosting so that they don’t spray water all over the place when the fan kicks on. It’s hard to convince a building engineer that doesn’t know shit about how their unit is supposed to operate.
