For being level. He got in a hurry.

I've written things like that. I'm finishing up and talking to the HO at the same time as writting out the paperwork. Later when I see what I wrote it looks as ridiculous as this "thermostat refrigerant".

Hey, at least you can read it!

Doesn't refrigerant cool thermostats now? Ask star882

[jamcool]

Wonder if he had any oil spill when putting on his gauges to check the stat. refrigerant

[docholiday]

And as usual.... didnt check airflow.

Heh, at least his printing is legible.

You should see some of the monstrosoties that get handed in around here.

One tech must have been really distracted, instead of writing "checked hot wires" he wrote "checked hot wives".

They must have been something to behold for our tech to blow that invoice.

Not to cool, but is sometimes used to sense temperature. A bulb containing refrigerant is connected to a diaphragm (a little like a TXV). The diaphragm is connected to a mechanical linkage that flips a switch on and off. When the dial is turned, it turns a screw that adjusts the spring pressure, altering the balance point. They sometimes used that in the old days. If it lost refrigerant, it would think it was cold and never turn on!
Of course, nowadays, many thermostats have become digital and a tiny piece of silicon is used as the sensor. That eliminated the refrigerant problem but silicon sensors turn out to be more fragile than refrigerant-filled bulbs!

I hate thoes dam rheem refrigerated thermostats. lol

But if you hook your guages up to one of those little sensing bulbs the refrigerant would be lost

$10.00 says they didn't even check what all they wrote down on that $39.95 walk in, look, and walk out check.
