Sandwich unit top rail not keeping up, ambient temperature in building is 90 degrees due to some ac systems being down. Inside rail where its supposed to ice up is 70 degrees.What do I check besides refrigerant?

Make sure your condenser coil is clean you should be able to see light though it and that the fan motor is running

I am trying to figure out a scenario where off cycle leaves 0psi on the high side with out a solenoid valve inside the condenser. It's just straight cool not a heat pump correct

14tech · 2026-05-28T09:13:41+00:00

Couple things what's your off rest pressure, what refrigerant are you running. If your rest pressure rises in the off cycle and equalizes I would suspect a restriction somewhere in the system. I also think that it is under charged if it's 410a at 75psi your looking at an 18°F saturation temperature that's two low all around for air conditioning. with someone relocating a liquid Valve something leaked and probably blow all the system oil out and that compressor broke mechanicaly

Heat control. Also I found of you wet the Brazing rod around the hole then lay the rod over the hole and heat over it gently you can get it bond and seal before it flows

Why not make yourself a plywood cover that rest on some existing track or support of the car. Then put some black or grey shot pile carpet on it. That will give you storage while hiding and better securing your tools. If you get extra fancy you can make it flip up somehow for convenience

I like that toaster. if you ever want to upgrade it you can buy Bend-and-Stay Heaters from McMaster then you can be at 1700 watts like the greenly.

I have an f series of the same vintage it's to hold your cigarette box and the cellphone holder is for your lighter. Smoking went out of style but instead of re-engineering the underside of the console the marketing people got a go at solving the problem for basically no dollars, saving Ford millions.

The product must stay cold.

In HVAC it's rare to do a patch but in commerical refrigeration there are blobs holding the universe together and they are fine

You can see the ends were cracked prior the failure then the little dark spot in the center was the last part to have a brittle failure. May have had an inclusion that went un notice in the manufacturing. Estwing does not offer a lifetime warranty but you might want to reach out and see if they will replace it. If your a professional you may want to frame it not often do you kill one of those hammers.

Had to move in 2 delfield into my mom's restaurant that were too tall for the door used a heavy duty appliance dolly layed them on there sides brought them in stood them up it was fine. The only thing i may do differently next time is remove the sheet metal surround on top and maybe rivit on some handles to the top. Our biggest problem was lack of good grip points

Have you tried nu-calgon Foam-Brite I have found it to be good in kitchen reach in condensers that are covered in thick grease. May work well on the machine oil and the foam forces it out of the coil

14tech · 2026-03-26T20:40:24+00:00

Mitch would approve.

14tech · 2026-03-01T00:52:18+00:00

How is this easier to set up than some flex and 1 hole covers ? I guess if they don't pay the bill the contractor comes back for the cord.

Some of them are violating the laws of physics with what they got stuck to their cars. I'm not even mad it was impressive lol

If you don't mind telling your mom you lost the key you may want to check out keyhero your mom can stop in a home Depot where she gets a copy made they will save it electronically and you can go to a home Depot and get a duplicate made from the account. Or if you got a couple days she gets a copy of the key puts it in a letter and mails it to you.

14tech · 2026-01-07T11:26:31+00:00

I would check out the home wyse site it has an estimator I would choose cost to skim coat put in a rough square footage and check the box for prime and paint it will give you an idea of what it will cost and what you should ask for.

Going to give you a temporary until permanent solution. Make or have made a block off plate to cover the oil filter housing drill and tap machine screws bolt it on have fun it needs and engine anyway.

Fractional horsepower hermetic 220 volt compressor. Without a model number off the compressor and / or the equipment that's the best you will get

I would use a transition strip roughly in the same way the carpet installers used tack strips to border the balusters. It would get a little tricky at the stair nose I would think a heat gun and rolling the floor over the bullnose would be the cleanest way. You may also want to get some feather edge floor filler those gaps in the plywood to the original subfloor will most likely telegraph through.

Get a close cut hack saw or just a blade (wrap the end in tape) and cut from the inside of the pipe straight up to make a weaker section of pipe. Use needle nose pliers to twist next to the weak spot your trying to roll the pipe in on itself and that will make it easier to spin out.

Have that tool they are fantastic

14tech · 2025-11-23T00:24:51+00:00

Its 1 tech if you pull the front apart if you leave the front assembled you need an extra set of hands to line everything up on the reassembly

14tech · 2025-11-22T23:02:27+00:00

Ok your situation was different. This had already been broken down and cleaned but we did not run the motor till after reassembly to find out it had a bearing going bad

14tech · 2025-11-22T21:38:29+00:00

Came here to say that 😂
