MULTIPLE YORK PACKAGE UNIT'S NOT COOLING

"no wonder that one's missing, it's in my hand. Duh" Holy moly I feel that one 😂

Those units have definitely lived their life, and they’re still working decently well considering how old they are. They sure don’t build things of the same quality that they once did. Thank you for another awesome video Chris! I’m learning more and more from you with every new video I watch. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This old piece of junk is still working better than the new pieces of junk one third of its age...

you know, sometimes the engineer part of my brain thinks i could make an absolutely ballin refridgeration unit and then i see these absolute tanks that are still happily running and i get humbled. great work as always!

Just putting this out there for anyone starting in the business... Just because you turn off the disconnect switch DOES NOT MEAN you don't have power going to the unit. In my very green days, I turned off the disconnect thinking I was safe to work on the unit, but heard my schooling in my ear about "always check for power". I checked inside the unit just before I put my hands in there and had 460v. This was because the monkeys that were there before me straight bypassed the disconnect inside the disconnect switch. To say I was upset doesn't come near what I was feeling in that moment. Always check for power.

Welcome to Ontario Weather... Here you need a T-Shirt, Fall Jacket, Snowsuit and Umbrella all in the same day... We have a saying: If you don't like the Weather...Wait 5 minutes... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

Calling that unit old is an understatement, it is very rusted. Suggesting it was either a cheaper model, or perhaps 80s. Either way, I'm unsure. However, I agree with the rest of the comments, this thing has lived its life and done well.

Preventative Maintenance is always Money well spent but those Paying your Bill don’t look at it the same way. Keep up the Strong 💪 Efforts servicing customers.👍

Those units absolutely suck to replace the heat exchanger...if you haven't replaced one...count yourself lucky. They are simple units in form and function...probably why it's lasted so long. Very nicely done as always Chris.

Boy, this brings back memories... The McDonald's I was a maintenance man at had these York units & every week I'd pull & clean the air filters (They had the type of air filters that were washable -- Just spray 'em down with degreasing solution, rinse 'em out, let 'em dry then put them back in) and clean the condenser coils. Every year we did PM on them where we'd take 'em apart, clean them out thoroughly & put them back together. If anything malfunctioned, we called in a local HVACR tech to fix it.

Lock tight is great for vibration issues. Things don't tend to vibrate off when they are secured with Lock tight.

If you can't get any Electrical Conduit that will fit the space, try a piece of PEX water pipe...the 1/2" PEX pipe is big enough to take a single length of 14/2 ROMEX house wire so the individual wires for one of your Fan Motors will fit with room to spare with little to no chance of overheating the wires...that will keep the wires away from the blades as well as protect them from rubbing out on the fan grill...

You're saying about the high subcool (always with the discharge), but I see the same on my 2-3 ton condensers, too. I'm used to seeing 20 to 30 degrees of subcool........but that's when I'm hitting the 100 to 105 ODT range. The condensers are from 2005 and 10 SEER. Eh? Fuck it. If it rejects heat, it rejects heat.

Was hoping I'd see one of these units in one of your videos. I have 2 of them on my building and it was built in the late 80s so I'm pretty sure they're original since we've been here since 94 and we've never replaced them. One of them finally needs to be replaced but the other unit works like a champ. I have a Rheem and Trane on another building, those are about 10 years old and have needed more work this this unit has since 94.

York made good units and they seem to have stood the test of time. I think Ford used York compressors in their cars many years ago and I heard they could be rebuilt.

Those older units really out live the new units. Some the new units come flat or don’t even last a year before something major happens.

You've got to give these old units some credit, by the visible condition they're real old and there obviously hasn't been a load of major, new parts fitted.

I have 3 Yorks units on a building I work at . Plus I keep the fully cleaned, oiled, belts , coils cleaned, I also buy new replacement parts . I also listen to the units for any problems. I love your YouTube channel I learned many things, on the different units you repair, Thanks

I agree with you, those old Yorks aren't going to last too many more California summers. You bought them some time, but replacement is inevitable. Full refurbishment, when factoring in parts and labor (assuming you can find all the parts) would probably be close to replacement cost. The phrase "diminishing returns" once again rears its ugly head... I fully expect you to experience more "Band-Aid Solutions" in the future. Cali's new $20 minimum wage for fast food workers will have such a financial impact to restaurants' operating costs that your clients will HAVE to cut corners to stay solvent. Sadly, this also means an increased potential of having to troubleshoot and/or repair work done by untrained/unlicensed individuals ("I know a guy that could fix that for ya much cheaper!").

Corporations frequently have policies that require doing the same thing over and over again which in the long run costs more. There should be a spread sheet where it determines the time to replace rather then fix. Every motor or compressor has a mean time before failure. As you get close to that MTBF you schedule a replacement it should be on a calendar. This failed approach to management looses money.
