I think he means the compressor drawing too many amps trying to start and the overload relay clicking as it opens. It happens when these lock or seize up sometimes
In aus we would have just changed the condensing set usually there is only a $150 difference between just the compressor and the whole set, saves going back for a condenser motor later, although most of the time we have to wait a day or 2 for parts where we are. Sick video, love the gear you use
if you opened both sides of the manifold gauge for recovery arent you risking cross contamination? i dont even see a y fitting from the manifold hoses into 1 3/8 recovery hose into a filter dry into the machine
I have been searching for an answer to my issue for 2 days and have come up empty. I hope you can help. I had a new chest freezer delivered 2 days ago and it was unboxed in my house. I noticed the vent grooves were very dirty so I ran my finger across it and it was either gray dust or powder. Before plugging it in, I wanted to make sure what I saw wasn't also inside the vent so I removed the panel and it is like new. I was relieved, but then noticed the compressor has a hardball sized discoloration on it, like it faded to grey. I have looked at dozens of compressor images online (can't find the exact replacement part) and they are all shiny and pure black. Even your used one looks ok. I'm wondering if this is not a brand new freezer after all.
Real question is why the comp failed. I might suggest the cap tube system overcharged after last repair. Often with a shit cap tube the tendency is to overcharge to get a correct evaporating temp - it works for a while - then either seized (oil washed away by liquid at start up) or inefficient (due to liquid return at start up breaking valve plates). Often the end failure is preceeded by a start cap failure. ALWAYS replace capillary when possible. The factory usually had it wrong. I recommend/use the secop sizing program, but it's far from perfect.
Dave have you been doing Nor-Cal as a side gig from the beginning? Just on weekends and nights? You work 7 days a week? I've had a C20 for a long time but I'm happy working for one of the OEMs..I've thought about going out on my own or maybe just doing weekend change outs or service calls. Must be worth the hassle if you've been at it for so long.
I HAD THE SAME CLICK HAPPEN TO ME TODAY! I am working on a little old masterbuilt reach in freezer and you could hear the same clicks No evap fans One condenser fan. Constantly running with the other cycling on and off followed by a click My semi hermetic comp is super hot My start cap is hot but within the proper mfd(run cap is in range and not bulging) I have an open leg on the coil of my potential relay. I was going to switch out some start components tomorrow but I think that compressor is going to go soon... condenser unit has a paint marker scripe that says compressor changed in 2013... I'm just trying to get them going for awhile What do you think Learn a lot from you dude thanks
@@NorCal-refrigeration ok so I got my parts delivered Went to the site and installed them. Went to go turn on the circuit breaker AND some D-bag from another company lock-out_tag-out my breaker Major wrench in the works
I took apart the old potential relay and saw the contacts were jacked. The compressor on this reach in was changed in 07... just to give you some perspective on this turd I am trying to polish
My appion G5 can get to business too. I like it a lot. Time saver, pays for itself.
For those of us who don't quite understand refrigeration but still love your videos, what exactly is the click of death and what causes it??

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Super Dave ... The young'ens appreciate it too ...
Gotta love how Copeland smacks that “Oil charged per BoM” sticker right on top of the embraco sticker. Nobody will notice!

Y si yevas aya para k trabajemos juntos
Here in Greece we using Embraco or L'Unite hermetique (nowadays Tecumseh) without any sticker from other company.

Love the way Victory I stalled those condensers , A pain to clean . Great video Dave
Another great video and job Dave 👍👍👍
Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing.
Bonus footage is dope

How many different recovery tanks do you keep on Vangina II ?

can I get the condenser size and evaporator size?what is the capacity of this freezer?
Great job as usual, I was after you’re opinion can you evacuate the system to quick

Do you still use your testis or do you use the fieldpiece just ordered the 2nd gen testo with extra pipe clamp and temp humidity probe for AC work
I use them with MeasureQuick you can use both Fieldpiece and Testo at same time.
Great tip!
I HAD THE SAME CLICK HAPPEN TO ME TODAY!
I am working on a little old masterbuilt reach in freezer and you could hear the same clicks
No evap fans
One condenser fan. Constantly running with the other cycling on and off followed by a click
My semi hermetic comp is super hot
My start cap is hot but within the proper mfd(run cap is in range and not bulging)
I have an open leg on the coil of my potential relay. I was going to switch out some start components tomorrow but I think that compressor is going to go soon... condenser unit has a paint marker scripe that says compressor changed in 2013...

What do you think
Learn a lot from you dude thanks
Replace start components and see if it lives.

Hola compañero oye y si me.yevas aya
good tip man thank you
Wow Mr 45 could suck start a Harley
dave i have a question, if i skip the pressure text, go to vaccum pump , if it go to below 500 micro the mean no leak right? thank you
No psi test. Don’t skip.
Which hose you like better that set up or the blu one ?
Honestly that set up.
300 microns in under 5 min ! Why is Fieldpiece not distributed in Europe ? Whyyyyyyyyyy !!!!😡
Amazon
Dave how do add refrigerant to testo gauges
It’s in the video there are over 90 to upload. I use 15.
449a almost the same as 448a just little more capacity at low Temps.
I want to get a 50` hose and just leave my reclaim stuff running in the truck 😄 puge with a detector and ball valve and let it run as I work
What's y no Smurf booner
The good ol yellow jackets work just fine. And are more playable easy to use.
I have two compressor change out to do both click of deaths true 2 door freezer
Is that the kiss of death or the sound of money in your pocket
Cha chinggggggggg
Can someone explain to me the click of death and why it happens. I know it's thermal overload bi metal clicking.
Usually the compressor is locked up. And can’t run
Will a 3 in 1 hard start kit help out? Or is just better to swap it when having that problem?
Isaac it was done. But yes a 3 in 1 can sub the start components
