Must have flooded back badly.
"She'll be jake the CC Htr will take care of it". "Eeeerrrr nooooooo, it doesn't work like that matey."

Flooding back like you wouldn't believe,dont know how the compressor survived.

And they wasted three days trying to sort it before they rang, just a waste of time.Then we gave them some advice on the phone, but they still couldn't sort it.It was a freezer unit on a large freezer room.

The chef in the kitchen was not a happy chappy.

The stupid thing was, they replaced the valve, and it wasn't even the issue

The crank case PR was shagged,restricting the flowFFS

As many say the only reason theses guys are working for the Govt,is because they can't get a job anywhere else.....

It is actually a complete waste of resources, if they rang us first, they would be way better off and it would save a heap of $$.

That is the reality of the situation.

The other issue is these techs are with apprentices, its virtually the blind leading the blind.

But looks good for the Govt,we are training all theses apprentices....yer,yer.

Oh well, gives a regular good laugh, and something to do.

The other one we found one day was a TX in backwards, they just slam shut

But he didn't believe the TX didn't have an orifice, either.

Typical Layperson's response & there would have been bugger all that they could have done anyway.

Seems Laypersons are not gifted with our foresight & wisdom to know what the **** is going on.

Paul how the **** did they manage that without realising? Did they change the connecting pipework to accommodate it or summat? That should have rung some bells alone.

It was on a system with multiple cabinets,I have no idea but they succeeded.🤣

Then they tried to blame some tech who had since been told to move on after multiple stuff ups,and other issues that were confidential.

Confidential alright. The Boss's son or some ***** that came to them well recommended & being paid 2 or 3 grand a week.


Edit. QU? Are Automatic Expansion Valves in use these days? Serious Q.
