Good video on a common mistake everyone makes on a daily basis. We all make them in way or another. When you restock your van put 2 of each evap fans on your truck one to put in one for stock. Each rotation. Looked at on of these low profile unit the other day I couldn't believe how clean the evap coil was. Unit it 3 yrs old out in a common area for customers to walk in. Basically a room with to low profile units. Nice video thank you. Be safe be good.
I hate those days when lots of little time-consuming things happen. It feels like time flies by with no results. Good targeted advertising - I got an ice-machine advert on your video.
barse ackwards rotation LOL. we all have those days, if it can be done wrong the first time it will! some of us sometimes insists on doing things thrice before it's right. it's always easier from the chair watching ;)
I’ve done the same thing with a fan motor, more times then I’d like to admit. I’m at the point now where it’s the first thing I do is check the rotation.
I started stocking the ecm version its reversible and covers a wide range of watts They are more expensive for the customers but more convenient for me P.s. love your videos
Sometimes a job never goes easy you can get a call for a easy fix and i turns out to be a mess sometimes it gets really bad when its very old. But you can only do so much
I thought when you were fiddling with it that the old thermostat turned on when you turned it up above 50 and turned back off when you turned it back down. I was wondering if someone had been playing games and reversed the wiring on that SPDT switch on the thermostat.

@@bigclivedotcom I do a bit or repair work for Vietnamese restaurants, I love the food. Covers mysteriously lose screws, adjustments move, parts even change but nooooo one has touched it, no sir noooo one. The standard MO seems to be they call you, you give them a quote they then call a local 'handyman' who says I can do that for half the price, using your quote as a diagnostic tool. He then cobbles in second hand miss matched parts and vanishes in a puff of cigarette smoke as soon as he has cash in hand. 2 Weeks later you are back with an even bigger quote and a very unhappy customer, but they keep using unlicensed handymen.
So the thermostat was switching at the box temp. Could you have moved the wire from the yellow terminal to the blue? Was the thermostat just replaced before you got there by someone else?
it likely had burnt contacts inside, the blue terminal opens on temperature rise, while yellow closes, red is common of the spdt switch. Johnson Controls (A19ABC-74C) if I had to guess. but may have been fixed differential model :)
It really seems like that box WANTED to stay at 50. Stat resets, fan motor dies out, etc. You have violated the will of the cooler, Bill. There will be consequences.
I know why your back bad when not so long ago, you he manned everything... now you pay the price.... I had the hardest time trying to tell young guys to think use equipment to aid them.. let the winches etc. Do the lifting ( oil rig work, I was the driller/ tool pusher). They tought they were tough up to when they would hurt themselves.. of course I would reply Told ya!!!
Ty for showing the mistake. These types of days are the worst. Appreciate you.
Woot another curious HVAC video!! I really enjoy watching these! Thank you!
Thanks

I like that you included the the wrong motor rotation installation part. Most would have left that out. great vid keep em comin
Thanks 👍
Really like watching your videos, they’re interesting, informative and when you make a mistake you don’t hide it. Great work 👍👍
I appreciate that!
Always one thing after another. Glad you got time to put out another video. Really enjoy watching these.
More to come!
@@curioushvacguy6876 Awesome. Learned alot from your videos.

Never mind, hate those brain farts.
whoa small world
Wow, fancy seeing you here. Good to see.
Man your a great teacher really enjoyed the video the steps you showed us where amazing!!
I appreciate that!
And here I thought I was the only one that had things like this happened to me. I wish I didn't get upset like you LOL.
Great video. I worked on a low profile but I had another guy with me. Much respect on solo mission. Can b a pain but all good. U the man!!
Much appreciated
Great video, nothing is ever easy! One thing after the other, welcome to commercial refrigeration 🤣😂
So true!
Happy to see you posting videos again. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Sweet man. Those cooper atkins meters are nice.
Yes they are- super accurate and so far pretty durable
I've got the exact same old school thermometer , mate , the ol' reliable trusty cooper .
Great minds my friend 👍
The best

Good targeted advertising AGREE 100%
Sometimes a job never goes easy you can get a call for a easy fix and i turns out to be a mess sometimes it gets really bad when its very old. But you can only do so much
And naturally if their ever asked all the clients staff say "it wasn't me".
If I'm not mistaken, reversing the polarity on that fan motor, would have reversed the fan direction, and gotten you your desired results.
A little to late for that fan direction tip as I have already learned the hard way. LOL
I thought when you were fiddling with it that the old thermostat turned on when you turned it up above 50 and turned back off when you turned it back down. I was wondering if someone had been playing games and reversed the wiring on that SPDT switch on the thermostat.
the wires on the thermostat were on wrong, set up for heating instead of cooling. It either never worked right or someone just replaced it
That was going through my mind too. Maybe a previous effort by a dabbler.
So, most likely nothing wrong with the old thermostat, just miswired. Can't have been long ago

Pls tune up for uploading more vedios
Thank you
Good call.
Thanks for sharing.. stay curious my friend.
for sure
Bill ,,,,,great. Video,,,,,,how is you thing going,,,,? Best regards,,,lorenzo,,,,,👍👍👍
All good
If you made more videos you’d have way more subscribers. Always dig your content, Dude 🤙🏽
Your right, the last few months I havent had much of anything good enough to video- as soon as I get something good though itll be on here
Good one Bill
Like what HVAC videos says always look at the big picture
So the thermostat was switching at the box temp. Could you have moved the wire from the yellow terminal to the blue? Was the thermostat just replaced before you got there by someone else?
it likely had burnt contacts inside, the blue terminal opens on temperature rise, while yellow closes, red is common of the spdt switch. Johnson Controls (A19ABC-74C) if I had to guess. but may have been fixed differential model :)
Good work 👍👍👍👍
Thanks ✌️
Great video bill
Thanks 👍
@@curioushvacguy6876 your welcome
Whats the reason for a pump down, I realize its to keep liquid from the compressor, but is it for less parts and simplicity able to short cycle too?
Avoid the liquid component chilling down too much during off-cycle, which could harm the compressor
It helps with refrigerant migration and allows the compressor to reach its normal running compression ratios much faster
Nice video 👍
Thanks 👍
SPDT.... It matters.. :-)
I'm going make some stickers for me,good idea.
👍👍👍
Nice video
Wire was on wrong terminal, should have been on blue not red.

You have violated the will of the cooler, Bill. There will be consequences.
You thought you were done with the repair... nope! One of the fan motor on the evaporative coil failed!
As per usual, one thing leads to another
so true

Be careful, Curiosity killed the cat !

You have days like I have l9l
Those thermostats are JUNK get a ranco etc
