GTJD Restaurant Tech

GTJD Restaurant Tech

This channel will be based on my experiences as a technician. I'm a HVAC-R tech who also works on Restaurant cooking equipment (aka hot side), some plumbing and some electrical. I'm the guy who trains all the new employees. I decided to start a channel to post helpful tips, tricks and guides for them to reference if they get stuck on a job or want to prep for an up coming job. These are "real life" videos, not that fluff that manufacturers show when they are testing new equipment in a clean environment...

Please, if you are not a service contractor/technician, do not attempt what you're about to see. We have training, licenses and insurance to cover ourselves in any event, keep that in mind.

If you appreciate my videos, you can show your thanks by hitting the link button and subscribing/following.

    This is not the case in every brand contactor. In the new ones I have, there is no way to convert it like you did. You should have said YMMV to be more accurate.

    Okay so I have a client that had a small grease fire in the kitchen and the ansul and sprinklers went off and one of their breakers won’t turn back on, guessing it’s a shunt? They have a weird frame covering the dead front, I have dealt with Siemens load centers a million times but I literally can’t figure out how to get inside the panel

    Why not just rub the marker on it?

  • @gtjdbydave
    @gtjdbydave29 күн бұрын

    If it works for you then that's also a good way. I personally have better control over my finger with some marker on it than I do the marker itself. If you get too much marker on it, then you may have lost the ability to see the raised numbers and letters. It can blend in. Practice using the marker on a part that doesn't have useful info, if that's your preferred method.

    Thank you for a good video :) Few questions, my pump is leaking from the shaft seal. What is the correct size of the seal and how do you remove the old seal and put new one in? Also, at the same time the o ring to the back cover should be changed. Do you know what size is the back cover o ring? One more, the pump motor is seized, it 's full of hardened grease. How does one remove the pump motor? The electric connections?

    Are you using a standard cat 5 or cat 6 cable between the vfd and screen?

  • @gtjdbydave
    @gtjdbydave3 ай бұрын

    Cat 5 and cat 6 are the same other than a cat 6 is made in a way to be more resistant to interference. So you can use either. The one I used in the video of cat 5 though

    I didn't know what direction the air was moving just from the video but "some guy just replaced a thermostat and it isn't working now" usually means "the thermostat was not installed correctly". That and the bulb seemed out of place.

    At first I was skeptical reverse wiring the polarity of the motor. After trying to get the backside of the impeller motor off (with no avail). To spin the shaft, we decided to have staff empty the vatts so we could undertake the nasty job of pulling the motor. We ran across your video and said-what the hell, we will give this a whirl as the wires were accessible through the access panel on the front of the motor. After reversing the wires and a few quick on-offs! Viola!!!! The impeller freed up and we are back in business! Thank you so much for posting this detailed video.

    Great video! I was wondering if you can help me out. I am trying to run power to this unit. My unit is a 208 3-phase. The unit specs that I run 3 hot wires (black) 1 neutral (white) and 1 ground (Green). Max amps is 15 so I am going to run a 3 pull 15 breaker. My unit has an added option of DCV-SF1 that requires a red wire to be hooked up also. My question is where does this red wire go? The black, white and green wires go back to the panel and are hooked onto the breaker. What am I supposed to do with the red wire? Does it go to the hood control unit. What even is a DCV-SF1 ?? Thanks!

  • @gtjdbydave
    @gtjdbydave6 ай бұрын

    I won't be able to answer your question fully since I'm not the manufacturer and this is a new install. The DCV should be a remote display that you use to toggle on and off the equipment. To use or bypass that remote should be in the wiring diagram. There are a few variations and I don't feel comfortable giving advice on an install that isn't under our company's license and insurance. You will need to get ahold of the manufacturer
