Good job Bro. Screw the negative comments. This is how you learn and get better. If you never worked on something before Google the model and serial numbers. Read up and get the basics
I enjoyed your video. I, too, learn on the fly on many machines. Reading schematics is vital. There are so many machines to keep up with. Thanks for sharing and make sure you video the R&R.
I worked for a beverage company for many years and have worked on a few of these. You can pull the pump off the motor. Usually pump seizes up causing motor to overheat. Once you seperate the two by unscrewing the clamp you can spin the motor by hand and see if its good or bad and do the same with the pump. If you need to replace the pump you can use pinch offs for the glycol lines and not have to drain system or make a mess.
When I worked for Coke we used those motors. Marathon makes some decent replacements and in dual voltage setups. Pump and motor are 2 separate units. Look for signs of wear on the key on the pump. Pretty simple setups.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend. May I ask, which voltage this unit use like 120 V, 240V, 208 V, 460V ? I'm just curious that's all
The pump is what goes bad on those units, it binds the motor and pump and motor go bad, the pump is an impeller that connects on the end of the motor, The motor probably doesn't have a capacitor and is split phase motor, doesn't need capacitor because of it not having a heavy load. Good job Jumper.
👍💪❄️🇺🇸 when I work on glycol units because beer is pouring warm I check pump/motor assembly because in most cases that's the issue it's not circulating the glycol. If temp of glycol bath is at temp it's most likely pump/motor if glycol temp is high mid 30s n higher it's refrigeration issue. Glycometer is good to have if u work on glycol units. Nice job for first time. Most glycol calls on beer systems will b pump/motor issue.
🇺🇸❄️💪👍 also make sure u turn off the compressor when the pump/motor assembly is down. That's like ur evaporator fans n with no glycol circulating unit will freeze up.
I service these daily. You don't want the temp any lower especially if the tower is full of domestic piss which is mostly water and will freeze in the line. 35-40 is a safe range.
Next time remove the motor from the pump and see if the motor runs. This happen to me before and I quoted the motor and I found out it was the pump or impeller.

Well said
thanks for sharing JMT. always interesting to watch & learn from you ⭐️
Nice job brother, check pump and motor you got this machine figured out keep rocking the vids

Love your videos. Always interesting, well explained and very helpful. Thanks JMT.
kitchen manager: Hey, I know you've got 7 or 8 LG systems to look at today, but can you check out our glycol unit?
JMT: Sure.

great deduction ...

The pump is bad 😂 you the expert
Pump could be bound up. Shouldn't have to disconnect lines from pump if motor is bad. Look for Allen key to disconnect motor from pump.
Good job. You should be safe with just pulling the motor. The staff should be notched
And no fluid should leak
Why not a pump? How did you find out?

👍 good job my man, how can I get that type of camera you are using? Can I get it on Amazon?
I would check voltage & amperage before it grounds out if it’s hot bro
They’re pretty simple you run them between 28-31°f.
Well done bro 😎 🦾
I’ve worked on these for twin peaks but blizzard systems
The pumps always failed on them

Those pumps rust then cease up causing the motor to fail... Best to replace the motor and pump...
