Dead Walk-In Freezer… Then Head Pressure Goes…

I got called out to a gas station where the walk-in freezer is completely down. The solenoid downstairs is hot and calling, but up on the roof, the Russell condensing unit is sitting completely dead on a humid, 87-degree day. In this video, we dive into the electrical panel to trace out the voltage issues, clean up some questionable straight-wire connections that should have been crimped, and find a high-pressure switch that keeps tripping. But the real puzzle starts when the unit finally kicks back on—the pressures skyrocket to nearly 400 PSI. Is it just a filthy condenser coil trapping dirt, or did a previous tech overcharge the system during the winter? — Purchase your tools at https://www.trutechtools.com/home?aff=13 and use the offer code SURVIVAL to save 6% on your total purchase (exclusions may apply) — — TOOLS I USE — FULL TOOL LIST ON THIS PAGE - https://kit.co/hvacrsurvival 💥 Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/ref=as_li_ss_t...
