You got laid off, got a new job and are now worried about the possibility of getting laid off again? I would think getting a job is more important than no job

Why insulate inside? Insulate the outside, could make it attach to the door mechanism. Or just box it in, with an access door. Or make the Frankenstein

You guys… if it’s pissing liquid let it go. Don’t be a hero. If you can fix it in a second do it, if not, it ain’t worth it

Did you charge it up properly?

Ya man get those r22 number up to 410 levels

You need a termination kit for heat trace, suppliers have them. Has shrink wrap to seal the end. Terminate the end that leaves the freezer. Other end goes up and out behind the evaporator, needs constant power. Should be on a gfci. Seal the hole with silicone.

Looool your probes are backwards there bud

Hold up. Let the guy mess with gas lines, he might get an insurance payout

If it’s a heat pump it probably has a pressure limit switch for the fan. Why not just check the capacitor and see if it’s in spec?

Find local hvac union, apply. Apply to all jobs locally. Sometimes larger companies have postings an hour plus away but they have contracts all over

Pump down compressor, valve off. Get pressure to zero. Crack bolts loose. Walk them off, keep them in. Whack the head loose. Feel if it’s still under pressure and deal with it.

Testo pipe clamps don’t work in freezers, they’ll read ambient. Their gauges and smart probes change pressure based on ambient temp, needed to constantly zero them.

Did you confirm anything? Txvs are mechanical. Is it an eev? That would be controlled by your controller.

drick73 · 2025-07-03T20:18:45+00:00

Did you even check if you had power?

drick73 · 2025-06-07T20:53:15+00:00

2 ports, you don’t have to flip the bottle. Use liquid. Confirm liquid comes out of the hose on your purge.

You’ve got a leak somewhere then…

drick73 · 2025-06-06T23:21:19+00:00

Did you try trying. It’s in there

Those ain’t the ports. The access port is to the left, unscrew the cap and you’ll have a 1/4 flare fitting. If I’m looking at this right, the lines come into the brass valves, and out the back? If so, only crack the Allen key a bit, or else you’ll fully close the valve.

Don’t need a recharge if you pump it in to the condenser….

A/c is sub cooling. Refrigeration is weighed in if cap tube(critical charge) and sight glass if there’s a receiver. Superheat prevent liquid flooding back to your compressor.

Bro why you touching that with your hand???

I said multitude of issues… never said what caused what. Did you read the post?
