Good demo of condenser fan relationship to high head pressure. and also rise in head pressure if fan is out and compressor shutting off on high head pressure control. Thanks Jim a great video. You are a great teacher.
I really enjoy your videos Jim ! I went out and got magnets and eye bolts and made a couple of hangers just like yours. I also got one of those kneeling mats. That will be a life saver ! Keep up the good work bud !
In France you can't connect the pressure gauge like you did. We need to first vacuum the pressure gauge and the hoses, and then with a "refrigerant loose free" fitting, we connect it properly. By the way, no liquid is lost. To disconnect the gauge from the system, we force the compressor to pump down by turning the solenoid valve off, or by closing the high side valve. So the liquid in the hose is sucked through the suction line as well as the vapor. No refrigerant into the atmosphere.
That sucks. Lots of work. You have to carry a vacuum pump to every unit you go to then. Not all units can be pumped down either. Here in Argentina though there are no regulations lol
Jim hope you are well not heard anything off you for a while maybe you’ve taken a well earned retirement if so enjoy it and keep yourself healthy good luck from the uk 🇬🇧
I live in a senior housing complex. My apt is over the kitchen where the walkin cooler is located. I can hear and FEEL the cooler running 24/7 in my apt. It drives me crazy. Maintenance attempted to put more insulation around it....but resulted in no difference in the annoyance I experience in my apt. If they can send a man to the moon....why can't there be quiet refrigeration units ?????? My landlord stated that my only recourse is to move to another apt in the building which requires paying a $500. transfer fee. That's a lot of money for a senior to come up with.
Nice Job Jim, Check out a Century motor Mfg# 9721 it's a 155/ 208-230, Rev, has mounting spades front and back, I carry 4 of them in the truck. I use this motor on evaporators, Condensing units and some ice makers, great motor. Might save a trip to the supply house, My closest supply house is an hour away. Again Nice Job.
robby rob is the company to get it done so far as know how we are in line to be one of the best truth and honesty speck for its self and affordable can't be beat. .!!!
Hey Jim really love your videos. I'm starting out as a Hvac-R guy fresh out of tech school and your videos really help me learn how to do the job and do it right too. Great videos keep it up! I was wondering if you had any words of wisdom for a new guy out in the field?
It would be very helpful to describe what pipe fittings, etc you are hooking up to. Also the hookups are not visible due to being out of the screen view.
great job. nice video. I was wondering how sure you were the fans will work that you tied the wires before testing the units at the end. I know you need to tie the ones closer to the fans before testing
Great Video Jim, and I like the way you work and explain the job, Sir, I have question for you, are you using any helper to hold the ladder or carry the stuff with you up or you doing all of this by yourself, thanks in advance
sir Jim I thought its a r22 system but I saw your refrigerant tank was 404a? and the charge is 56 psi at low side, instead of 15-25psi for R404a ? so what was that?
In another video, you spoke about dropping around 73 pounds in a life-style change based on Paleo method. My question is how long did it take? Also, I really enjoy your videos.
hi Jim, thanks for sharing wonderful videos...i have one question, do you use different hoses for servicing different refrigerant or just the two for any refrigerant?
hello Jim, :) just want to ask, at this video the rotation of 2 fan is clockwise base on its blade right? by the way thank you for sharing your good video, :) t.c.
Wouldn't you first checked to make sure the coils were clean? Then check the mechanical systems to see if the fan motors & compressor motors were running? How do you know it wasn't a bad contactor coil or fan capacitor or fan pressure switch ? I was taught you never put gauges until you checked every thing else first.
deltafour1212 the man knows his stuff, if you have work in refrigeration you would know. It doesnt need to be in video. We know well to check basic as soon as we walk in. And plus you can notice both fans not spinning freely. Changing caps might work but most likely die in a few months
Hi Jim one question from beginner: When you connect your Testo 550 and start getting reading how you know the pressure on high and low side is normal level or not... ? Im looking the PT Chart but can see only if the temperature is correct for the pressure... but how to know that pressure is good or not!? Pleaase begging you got answer you or someone which know better that stuff.... Thanks in advance
Miss having fresh content from you, but wish you well in youtube retirement. Was that an optical delusion on the two fans running in opposite directions? Was the dual safety pressure switch something that was added on, perhaps when the R22-R404 conversion was done? It took me a while to fully appreciate your style of YT presentation, ... it is not for the instant gratification, attention deficit crowd. In any case, thanks for sharing and educating. Be well.
since the other motor was running before,they sometimes use the sam ground,it should have at least tried to start.i say bad pressure swiotch cut in cut out not right
A great teacher. A kind, patient, and saintly man.
Nice job and great video. Really like the way you video the complete job and your explanations of things along the way.
+DC Rickerson thanks
Another great video thanks Jim

+Mahesh Patel thanks
You show the decision making of changing parts in order to give customers the maximum benefit. Great video.
I really enjoy your videos Jim ! I went out and got magnets and eye bolts and made a couple of hangers just like yours. I also got one of those kneeling mats. That will be a life saver ! Keep up the good work bud !
+Matt Agee it's those little things that makes our job easier, thanks
Where did your purchase the mat and what brand
Johnstone has them
Great video Jim. Thanks for posting.
Excellent work . 6/11/2023yr

Another great video, thanks to Mr. Jim Pettiato for this educational video, it really help me to be a better technician. God bless you.
Dam jim,I like your magnet for you gauges...I'm getting a few!!!!

hey Jim appreciate all your videos, watch them all the time keep them coming . Jose Joziuk-AIS commercial parts
Thanks for the video and showing the entire process. You seem like a great guy to work with!
Excellent Work .I did the same work . Have a very good day. 7/10/2021
Very nice job Jim, good the rain let you finish up. Why is it half the time the condenser is in a damn puddle? grrr very madding. thanks for posting.
Don't forget to pick your tool Jim , when done?
Am a senior hvac tech, and a lot of times we do things that don't make sense to someone without experience.
Job well done. Great videos going through them one by one...👍
I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative. Everyday I spent atleast a hour after work watching them. Do you work on Reefers?
Nice work Jim, Thanks for sharing
Nice job Jim! Thanks for taking the time to make the video and posting!!
+Brad1237202 it's fun, thanks

Great instructor learn a lot 👍
It would be very helpful to describe what pipe fittings, etc you are hooking up to. Also the hookups are not visible due to being out of the screen view.
Confused - why did you pull the motor w/o verifying it's the problem?
Yes, could be the cap
They were not spinning freely. Both needed to be replaced.
No free spin ! Replace motor or wait for the call back !
Capacitor could be 👎,
Nice clean , fan replacement, =Good Job.
Nice video
Great video Jim
Good work and thanks for all of the videos that you are posting.
JIM you been missing in action are you going to ever do videos again soon ?
thanks for your videos. Blessing alot of people
+Eagle Mech Services Hvac/Refrigeration thanks
great job. nice video. I was wondering how sure you were the fans will work that you tied the wires before testing the units at the end. I know you need to tie the ones closer to the fans before testing
Oh , I thought this sort of thing only happened to me !
Great Video Jim, and I like the way you work and explain the job, Sir, I have question for you, are you using any helper to hold the ladder or carry the stuff with you up or you doing all of this by yourself, thanks in advance
Good morning bro, l new here in U.S, I'm a Technician in HVAC in my country Nigeria, and I need a job to start up life
great video, i'm sure that customer didnt like the 2 condensor fan $1000 bill!
+Ben Staton wasn't that much
Hi Jim, Great videos! your a smart guy! I noticed you didnt check the capacitors on the fans, how did you know that wasnt the problem?
Steve H.T the fan was seized up so a capacitor would not make a difference
sir Jim I thought its a r22 system but I saw your refrigerant tank was 404a? and the charge is 56 psi at low side, instead of 15-25psi for R404a ? so what was that?
Nice one Jim. Enjoy the video's!
+Michael Shank (Mike) thanks
I sure do enjoy them Jim!!! I like the videos long like this. You give a lot of detail and your knowledge of your craft comes off very well!
very good job ..& very good teaching
Thanks, good instructor!
Nice work Jim
+Rob HVAC thanks
What a great movie
In another video, you spoke about dropping around 73 pounds in a life-style change based on Paleo method. My question is how long did it take? Also, I really enjoy your videos.
i want to thank you this vid help us a lot keep doing it
nice job Jim
+james rook thanks
Nice job Jim
+hardcooling thanks
great educational video
no new servicing video?
Jim thank you again
hi Jim, thanks for sharing wonderful videos...i have one question, do you use different hoses for servicing different refrigerant or just the two for any refrigerant?
you can use the same hoses for all refrigerants, thanks
Hi Jim, good video , just one question, how much did you charge for this fan motors?
thanks sir Jim
wasn't it r22 system?
I thought so too.
Do u have a vid on showing how u did the wiring?
super job wow u really impress me!!!!
Jim, where can i watch some more of your vedeos?
hello Jim, :)
just want to ask, at this video the rotation of 2 fan is clockwise base on its blade right?
by the way thank you for sharing your good video, :) t.c.
+Mel Inoc it's the speed of the motor and the shutter speed of the camera,
Good job
Hi Jim, Where did you buy the hand held copper tubing swaging tool?Billy UCLA
it's a Hilmor , any Hilmor distributor, thanks
nice video and nice job
+Ryan Dong thanks
Jim I've really enjoyed watching your videos and have learned a lot. You haven't made any in at least 2 years are you still in the field?
Jim thanks for the video! is it common not to have a fan control on a walk-in condensing unit?
+Dennis Noone up north, yes. thanks
+Dennis Noone headmaster valve no need for fan cycle
+James Mclaughlin right, but i didnt see one on that unit, thats why i asked about the fan control
right at the beginning, you can see it behind the reciever
i missed it, i will watch it again, thought the head master mostly are installed on a bigger systems. thanks
Thanks

+kaloian krastev it depends on which refrigerant your using, in time you'll know what's good for each refrigerant,
Thanks!
Everything is coming with the experience!
404 52 low side 225psi hs what is the temperature in walin cooler
Where did you purchase your floor pad?
JOHNSTONE has them, I've purchased few of them. They offer them on sale from time to time @ around $14
new testos?
When he said r22 i was surprise
My motor will not turn the fan either. What could I do?
change it
fan motor. only hear hot comp.. am I right? .. I win. That sound on that comp is the dead giveaway.
well that and the lack of fan motor sound :p

hello Mr. Jim please help me to learn HVAC technician. give me some of you vidio thanks. God bless.
You mate need more training
Nice work Jim
+Harry Dickson thanks
