Can be worth checking all three phases are pulling current, a bad contact in the contactor or blown fuse will leave the compressor trying to run on two phases giving the symptoms of a seized motor.
I had never heard of reversing the phases to unlock a rotor.... awesome that it worked! Got their product cool till the repair can be made. Good shit man.
After you got it going in right direction, you should check each leg for amps. All three legs should have equal amp draws, if not, you may have pitted or weak contacts in the leg that is drawing less, while the other two legs will be running higher than normal amps.
Good information thanks for the knowledge 👍💯 ohh and i talk to a company for (market refrigeration) and i might have a position open in march hopefully everthing goes well🙏

Man that refrigerant looked very dark in sight glass! Didn’t want to replace with new refrigerant while there? Good job man! I’ve had soo many scroll compressors not work as expected, it’s crazy!
Rookie Refrigeration def could be angle or lack of light. If not we’ve all seen worse. Regardless not trying to bust your chops or criticize. Ulises is crackin me up tho.
Rookie, do u recommend more btus on a condenser unit than a evaporator coil for a walk in cooler or match it? The store match a 4hp with a 27300btu evaporator coil, what you recommend me, thanks. Great video.
I had a similar thing happen but on a 20hp semi hermetic copeland, reversed it and it started. pressure looked good so i ran it. this was a 4 ton per day ice maker and the production was low and freeze cycle was longer even tho my pressures looked good. I finally pulled the heads off and the pistons in 2 of the cylinders were not moving. I guess when it was reversed it broke the rod but never knocked or made any bad noise.
Yeah there was no voltage drop across that contactor. And I honestly didn’t check at the pecker head. But something definitely happened. I’m probably gonna open it up 👍
I look over a few of those beacon 2 systems myself im more of a fan of KE2 is . On the beacon 2 systems the time delay on makes are they there just so there is no flood back during start up? Also never thought of running a scroll backwards to free it up this was definitely worth the 15 min
Good stuff Rookie . Did you pumped the system down at the receiver obviously, then front seat the discharge valve , to cut down the recovery time , and just replace the compressor, driers , and then just open up the valves ? Good video !!!
Rookie Refrigeration 🤫 I’m a badass that’s why . Jk I kinda had an idea before I watched your video , but you video did helped me . Thx , Shoutout from SoCal 818
Was always told not to unsweat driers as while you are heating them up you are driving all the moisture they collected out, I always cut mine out and replace with new
Careful with the pressure test those transducers apparently can't take much. I rarely go over 100 psi now on pressure tests. Nice trick with the phrase rotation to get it unlocked.
When you unsweat driers. I've never used a torch. If anything is in the cores the heat will make it migrate into the system. I always cut them. Old school trick. Makes vacuum go alot faster...and if you bleed your nitrogen out the high side only after a pressure test the vacuum will go faster bc it pushed all oil to outside of the inside of the piping making a channel......just a trick☺☺
@@rookierefrigeration4357 maybe I missed typed it..... vacuum will be much faster and cleaner with that process..i know we get stuck in our ways and I'm the same
I would have recovered all the refrigerant. Reason being. What if that debris is still floating in the system. Well it's still there..I bet it was a chunk of copper shaving from the other compressor install..someone didnt debur their pipe. My only gripe.. not pulling to 500 microns. Oh..I always keep a can of rustoleum paint..hey while vacuum is pulling you could have saned real quick and gave it a shot. Wet rags save the day though..you did great brazing with oxygen/ acetylene.
Sometimes it is so locked up nothing dislodges it! It could be a bad spot developing in the compressor that might be occasionally a problem now, but once the hot weather hits could end up being a nightmare for the business trying to keep it’s product chilled! Replacing it put you ahead of the game, because if not now it would be later, likely in 100° heat!
Rookie do you think that maybe with the low superheat it might have liquid slugged causing a hydraulic lock between the scrolls, it looks pretty old dont know if those older scrolls have that scroll separating feature. Maybe cut it open for us so we can see.
D Har no. Low low superheat was caused by the compressor not running. The board read the saturation at 50° and the suction line sensor was reading room temp, because it just equalized to the box temp. No refrigeration running. So there was never any low superheat to be honest

@@rookierefrigeration4357 I see some technicians during compressor change out say something about compressor oil charge dumb question but I understand it .
Obviously something mechanically wrong with compressor - I have used that reversing trick for 35 years - another thing you can do if it doesn't break loose is hit it with a higher voltage - I have used 240v on 120 compressors and 480 on 208 compressors. Just make sure everything else is disconnected so u dont let the smoke out of anything. That unit had obviously seen a burnout compressor failure with the addition of that suction filter. I would have been prone to do a little better system clean out. Flush it with some R22 flush and replace the gas... but I also u understand the pressure to get them up and running after closing time...
Have to agree with recommending not leaving it in. It's a thing where you tell the person who has to make the decision, "It could work for an hour, a week, a month, or a year, maybe even longer but if you have someone come back tomorrow for a service call on the same problem it will cost more and we will both look like major jerks for not just getting it swapped out now. The call is yours though but I would suggest changing it out now since I am already here." I would take the old compressor and use it for something personal though if it didn't need to be sent back or whatever. I would imagine that if you can get 3 phase power for it that thing would work great on a home system for a brother who has a really crappy unit, LOL. Might get him through another year or two.
If it’s a draft line or beer fridge they call right away, if it a walk in cooler, they’ll let it sit at 60f all day then call, in a panic, I show up in a not so good mood, also love the 4:30 pm calls that have 1 hr travel, cause the AC hasn’t been working well all day and it’s 85f in the restaurant, we’ve dropped a few accounts just for that reason, us techs are there to help and serve, but not to be taken advantage of.
When they pull that kind of crap it kicks in my aggravation surcharges to be added to overtine travel time both ways including to get parts and the overtime hourly rate plus an extra 40%... they only understand money... so that's the way to communicate with them.
I think you may have made an error. Your compressor was fine. During your test, it was single phased. You should have been asking yourself how could it have registered 0 amps when it attempted to start if it went off on overload? The reason, ....you just happened to clamp on it the open leg, of the bad contactor contacts. The middle and right leg would have registered high amps. Always check for voltage on the compressor side of a contactor. You never know when that voltage doesn’t get across. Standard rule of thumb also mandated by the OEMS is to replace the contactor with a three phase compressor replacement... Next time, when something looks odd, look a little deeper.
hello Can you please help me out? I do not never pump down this type system, I been doing only residential system. see if you have link or video thank you very much
Right on mister. You do a very thorough job and just kinda saw an obvious miss in film . Just something to point out for our younger tech’s watching. Cause you got great video instructions. It’s hard to not miss a single thing. Or when to say maybe it’ll be fine. You made the only 100 percent call you could! And the bad thing is ,it could still go down.

Hey Rookie Refrigeration, assuming debris caused the scroll to lock up initially, you are relying on both drivers now to remove any debris from the system. On an on call friday I would've done the same thing as you, but realistically this may have needed a full charge recovery, rx11 or nitrogen flush, and then deep vacuum. Don't you think. Compressors don't die.... They get murdered
