HOSHIZAKI ICE MACHINE WITH A BAD TXV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- This was a service call on a Hoshizaki ice machine that had low production, the machine ended up having a bad txv, I also warned the customer about the compressor going bad but they declined the compressor replacement at this time.

I'm not even an HVAC Tech, I'm an Auto diagnostics and repair tech, and I find your videos quite informative. Very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world like you do. It's not a common occurrence that you get to look over the shoulder of a tradesman such as yourself, but I'll take the opportunity any time I can. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the nice words!!
I gotta admit, I appreciate your knowledge in your field.
Thanks bud
Great video. I’m new to ice machines and I was working on the same machine yesterday. The control board wasn’t sending voltage to the condenser fan on mine. Love your content man
Good video on the hoshi on 3.51 on the paper you had 15 notes on freeze cycle readings 30 minutes each you were there for like 4.5 hrs i assume T S ing , them ice machines are no fun specially when it's been neglected for years n the client are cheap n unappreciative Thanks for sharing 👈👍👍
I’m working on a unit just like this with bad txv. The is solenoid valve in line with the liquid line drier. You can un plug the coil during freeze cycle to pump the refrigerant down to the condenser and check for bleed back on your suction valve. Mine pumped down fine but bled back to 30psig quickly so I’m replacing both txv and compressor Monday.
Good diagnostic on TEV. Chris
Thanks
I learn a lot from your videos. Would like to see you filming the actual txv replacement work. Thank you
thanks for watching, I am going live a little early today 12/24/18 at 12:00pm pacific standard time come on over if you can and check it out th-cam.com/video/rDd469JwYww/w-d-xo.html
I really wish I could work with someone like you. I see your passion for the industry and I have it as well. I just don’t have good mentors around me anymore.
Thanks for making videos like these. Keep up the good work.
Good diagnosis Chris.
Thanks bud
I would like to see more ice machine videos... thanks.
The detail is mind blowing
Thanks bud

Love the details, not a HVAC tech always amazed at the details in the trade. Have a Hoshi AM-50BAE that's making half a evaporator plate of ice, between the service manuals that hoshi provides and your detailed vids, helps me describe to the tech what I'm seeing so they can do their thing.
When you do replacement units and full installs are you able to film them?
I almost always replace the HGV with a txv replacement for the simple fact of gas is already out. It’s 2 more joints. And it gets cycled so frequently no point in having a customer a month later have a leaking past HGV. Just me but makes me feel better in the end.
That's a great point and something I should consider, thanks for watching!

I will check those fittings
Good video. Quick question. My Hoshisaki Ice machine, Sometimes when it goes on the freeze cycle the evaporator does not freeze. No power at the HGV. How do I know is a bad HGV or the solenoid at the remote condensor on the liquid line. Then all of the sudden it makes like 8 batches of ice. Thanks
do you know the superheat on this machine? Good videos, thank you
Nice job as always 👍🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼
Thanks a lot
Where’s the condensation line repair video at? How’d you’d solve the rusting issue?

hoshi from hell gotta love the 3beep special those are good ones
Yeah I love the 3 beep special!! thanks for watching, I am going live a little early today 12/24/18 at 12:00pm pacific standard time come on over if you can and check it out th-cam.com/video/rDd469JwYww/w-d-xo.html
Sir I need to ask you my ice machine last time Sam like that and I’m changing sensing valve on site than ok after 1 month naw the high pressure and alarm light coming what you think need to change naw
Nice job 👍👍👍
Question, got a km 1200 that has gone through 2 new water pumps in 2 years. water in,out does not seem to be a problem amps is full, example rla 2 and draws say 2.1 or 2.2. Water does drip on mtr from above. Hard water, filter changed every 6,9 mo. Would you have an idea on what might be killing mtrs in 12 mo's? Thanks, there not cheap suckers.lol
well water dripping on the pumps is not good, how are the pumps failing? are they motors burning up and tripping the breaker? or are they just locking up and not running anymore? When you replace the pump are you changing the capacitor too?
Yea it gets the new cap. The impeller is to stiff and wont turn, on it's own.couldn't figure if the max rla was causing a slow death tech support could not give me an answer that. Did fix the water leak,the fitting on water trough above the w.p.plastic connection had a hair line crack.it jusy bugs me that the mtr runs hot to the touch. Thanks for the intrest.
I have a KM 515 water cooled was working fine for 3 months then I got the one beep - we added refrigerant at it makes ice but not much as it used to fill the bin overnight now barely a few cube stay in the bin. I had the red and yellow light (3 freeze cycle errors in 36 hrs) the machine. it is also putting out an excessive amount of water through the drain. We live in Belize so don't have any Hoshizaki specialist mostly AC guys trying to figure this out. What components should they be looking at troubleshooting
Michael Leonhardt contact their tech support. I fix a new ice maker by contacting their tech support

Thanks. Would you mind if you get a chance explaining little more about how you came to the conclusion that the txv was the problem. Was it the flood back? Or what else?
The flood back was a dead giveaway, the pump was operating , and the hot gas valves weren't leaking by. After checking the sensing bulbs it confirmed it.
@@HVACRVIDEOS thanks your the best
the swing test never fails and sometimes the freeze patterns give that problem out also...
Bro how do you check and adjust an expansion valve on a kold draft 1064AC
How’s that Klein hvac Screwdriver? Been looking into getting one
It's pretty cool, I'm just worried about losing it or losing a bit because its not a 5 dollar home depot 6 in 1
That burn mark on your hand looks like a run in with a hot discharge pipe.
yeah I honestly dont remember where I got the burn from but your guess is probably right, thanks for watching, I am going live a little early today 12/24/18 at 12:00pm pacific standard time come on over if you can and check it out th-cam.com/video/rDd469JwYww/w-d-xo.html
What school did you go to learn about the ice machines ?
I just learned from making mistakes and reading the manuals.
I will be going live on TH-cam this evening 8/26/19 @ 5:PM (west coast time) to discuss my most recent uploads and answer questions from emails, TH-cam comments and the Live Chat if you can stop by and check it out th-cam.com/video/78ka0zlkAR4/w-d-xo.html
What is the most common Gas leaks on this units we have one the I have to charge like every 2 months is a small leak
At the quick connect fittings
Throw a dye cap in unit and scan it after a couple of weeks should expose them.
When u change out txvs on a machine like that due u stick with same cubic in drier or due u up size the drier
I try to stay with the factory drier due to the limited refrigerant charge on some ice machines. But in a pinch I have added an aftermarket drier.

Check superheat at each valve
How much do you charge for a job like this?
How did you know it was the txv in the first three minutes of arrival?
I had a good hunch based off the flood back
Lol what a joke
I'm confused how could I have done the job better? Also you have to understand I edit these videos down for time
HVACR VIDEOS yea chris how dare you asume it was txv from all your years of experience in the field. Jk nice video. I thought the same as you
The side of the compressor being iced up was a good first indicator. Between this comment and your other charge comment I question your field experience level.
There is a blue m&m in the left back corner.
👍
That compressor is sweating good
How to overcharge your customer when you misdiagnose an refrigerant level charge. You know you have to add freon in the winter right. Take it out in the summer.
What?? Are you being sarcastic?
So adding refrigerant would reduce flood back, lower the suction and head pressure???? Yeah right.....
heavydiesel since he said it was 100 degrees, I assume it’s summer. So the floodback is overcharged system. He has his head too
It was not overcharged because I recovered the charge to change the txv's, the charge was correct. I'm more concerned with the fact that you said you have to add gas in the Winter in remove it in the summer were you being sarcastic because that is absolutely 100% incorrect
I see what he is saying, kinda, but I hope he knows you live in Palm Springs area, it doesn't get too cold where you are. And besides why would one circuit be overfeeding and the other not with a common compressor
Good stuff Chris. Sounds like somebody wants you to come do the machine for them? How do you know the geological pull of the atmosphere didn't cause a thing a majig Down by the which McCall it to cause a Hydro fractionated meteorite to go bad? You suck just like me🤣😂🤟 I can do better if I knew how to do it LOL .... I want my money back that I paid to watch this🧐🤪🤑💜💜💜
Good info on them long cycles. I just bought the tech book! Happy Holidays!
Thanks bud same to you!
You talking to much ! Go straight to the point
