00:00Well, it's a matter of economics, sometimes it doesn't work.
00:02I'm going to tell you a story before starting with this.
00:05Ten years ago, I sold a car and bought a two-door fridge.
00:10Yes?
00:11At the time, having a two-door fridge was an impressive thing.
00:15In some places, it was more expensive than a room, even a house.
00:19But at that time, it was possible and it still works.
00:21Until one day, it didn't work anymore.
00:23And I called a person.
00:25It wasn't cold.
00:27The freezer was running, the part of the fridge wasn't.
00:29The guy came to see what was going on.
00:35He told me that it was the engine.
00:37The engine melted.
00:38How much does it cost?
00:39Today, it's more or less three sticks.
00:41I said, with three sticks, I can make a Falcon engine.
00:44He said, no, because this is an Inverter.
00:46It's imported and it's from Brazil.
00:48I said, don't worry, I'll call someone else.
00:51Besides, Gonzalez, they won't call me.
00:55The next guy came to see how I was doing.
00:59He said, look, I have this problem.
01:01The part of the fridge doesn't get cold.
01:03This is a sensor that is in the place of the freezer.
01:07The freezer throws the cold to the part of the fridge.
01:10That sensor broke.
01:11It doesn't throw so much cold.
01:13That's why the part of the fridge isn't so cold.
01:15How much does it cost?
01:16Today, it's 50 lucas.
01:18I said, but how?
01:19From three sticks to 50,000 pesos.
01:21It doesn't exist, right?
01:23Well, out of doubt, I call someone else.
01:25Third opinion.
01:27Third opinion.
01:28Either the engine or the sensor told me.
01:31He runs to the fridge and starts sniffing.
01:33I say, this is a technician or a dog?
01:36Unbelievable.
01:37He sniffs.
01:38It's the plate, he tells me.
01:40I say, no, I don't smell anything.
01:42I smell if everything rots inside the fridge.
01:45But I don't smell anything.
01:46How much is it?
01:47An 800 stick.
01:50Or I fix it for 50 lucas and it doesn't work.
01:53I change the engine for three sticks and it works.
01:56Or I change the plate for an 800 stick and it works.
01:59What did I do?
02:00What do you do in that case?
02:02I go from 50 to 50.
02:04No, mistake.
02:05You call Watson.
02:07You call the fourth.
02:10Who is the fourth?
02:12Matías.
02:13No, not even.
02:14Are you an official service?
02:15Yes, some brand.
02:16You call a brand or an official service of a certain brand.
02:20They charge you a number, they charge you a visit.
02:23That you don't want to pay when the other one comes.
02:25Of course.
02:26And what happened?
02:27The official service comes.
02:29He looks at the fridge.
02:30He says, ah, a fan is frozen.
02:33Does it have a lot of ice?
02:34Do you freeze it a lot?
02:35Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
02:36They took out a socket like this.
02:38They put hot water on it.
02:40The ice that was there melted.
02:41How much is it?
02:42And what is the visit worth plus 3000 pesos.
02:46I fixed everything at that time, which was 10,000 pesos.
02:49Why this anecdote?
02:50Why this story?
02:51Because many people either call the official service
02:54or call someone who usually lies to you three times,
02:58as long as it's not you.
02:59It is not always a guarantee that the service also hits him,
03:02because he is still a technician, a professional who can be wrong,
03:05as can happen in any place.
03:06You can be wrong, but unintentionally.
03:08No, no, unintentionally.
03:10Like any of those three, you can also be wrong.
03:12Or someone did it to Adriel, but unintentionally.
03:14No, no, no.
03:15The three of them did it to Adriel, I can assure you.
03:17I'll sign it here.
03:18I know it's your field, but ...
03:19No, no, no.
03:20I don't defend the field, because no, no, no.
03:21Not at all.
03:22As there is a doctor, there is a journalist, and there is a technician too.
03:25Yes, yes.
03:26No, no, no.
03:27But before getting to the technician.
03:28If I have a wardrobe that doesn't work, or so that it continues to work,
03:31what do I have to look at first, for example?
03:34Based on your experience and to get rid of that fear,
03:38today, thank God, you have networks and a lot of online consultation material.
03:43So you can already have a parameter so that when the technician goes,
03:46he doesn't bug you.
03:47Okay.
03:48That's great.
03:49And that is, for the dishonest technician, it is very bad.
03:51For the technician who wants to do things well, it is great.
03:53Today you have a lot of material to consult.
03:56The truth is that, regardless of whether we are an official service or not,
03:59or the service that is official or not,
04:01you are the same, you are a human being.
04:03Either he is wrong, or he is dishonest.
04:05That equation sometimes you will not be able to take into account,
04:08if you are there to be prepared to know, or do what you did.
04:12Yes, but you lose a lot of time.
04:13Then there are a lot of things that one can try.
04:15Tell me how to wash clothes.
04:17You came here.
04:18What is the first thing I have to do?
04:20Now, let's go back to your editorial line of anti-scam.
04:23The first thing that happens, the water does not run out,
04:25before calling the service and that happens to you,
04:28the filter is on.
04:29Here you have the plush filter.
04:32I'll open it for you.
04:33It is commonly removed with a screwdriver, with something small.
04:35You open it.
04:36This is a filter.
04:37Wait, I don't have the camera there.
04:39Cover it and open it again.
04:40Like this.
04:41Do they all have it?
04:42Commonly, people get scared because it has to pull hard.
04:45Don't be afraid, it's plastic.
04:47Here is a filter.
04:48This filter collects everything that you left in the pockets of the clothes.
04:52Yes, hair, plush, cockroach.
04:53Whatever.
04:54No, coins.
04:55A hundred-dollar bill.
04:56Yes, coins, hair hooks, everything ends here.
04:58Sometimes even the same Corpini rings, or whatever you can think of,
05:01can end here.
05:02This, back there is a discharge pump.
05:04Ah, that's where the sock gets lost?
05:06No, no, not the sock there.
05:08No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
05:10Everything ends here.
05:11And sometimes everything that is left ends up covering the discharge pump,
05:14not breaking it.
05:15And there you can fall into a dishonest technician,
05:17who sells you the discharge pump when it is not.
05:20Okay.
05:21But hey, you can't imitate here.
05:23How much is a discharge pump and a laundry?
05:2560,000 pesos the change, 80,000, 100,000, it depends on the brand.
05:28Plus the labor.
05:29No, no, that's commonly with labor.
05:31Out there, some Italian brand or some imported, 150, 200.
05:34The spectrum is very wide.
05:35Now, Matías, it's summer.
05:37You see, air conditioning, but there are many who have a fan.
05:40You put the fan on and it looks like it's ...
05:42Noise.
05:43A spaceship is being developed that is going to Mars.
05:46A scary squeak, you want to avoid it.
05:48You take out the grill, it's easy.
05:50You unscrew the paddle and behind it is a bushing,
05:52where the stick arrives, to put it mildly, of the fan.
05:56Yes.
05:57Oil there.
05:58Do not use the typical one that everyone uses, which is the W.
06:00The W?
06:01Do not use it because that is for something else, it is always misused.
06:04Machine oil, you go to the hardware store.
06:06It costs 100 pesos.
06:07It is an oil that is used for old sewing machines.
06:10You throw it there, clean it a little bit, lubricate.
06:13Fan as new.
06:14For the millionaire.
06:16Let's go for the millionaire.
06:17For you.
06:18For the millionaire who has air conditioning in the house.
06:20Today.
06:21Yes?
06:22That apart you can use it.
06:23Yes, you have to pay for it later.
06:24You have to pay later, right?
06:25There is no gas?
06:26There is no gas?
06:27No, right?
06:28No.
06:29The gas here is more expensive.
06:30What is the big problem with air conditioning?
06:33The first thing that appears is the humidity, the dripping.
06:36Yes?
06:37This guy is worried, the police are pressing him because something is leaking, he starts
06:41to perspire.
06:42Of course.
06:43He perspires, perspires, perspires and drips inside.
06:45Ready.
06:46What is the big problem?
06:47There are two drips.
06:48The slight drip, tiny, perspiration.
06:49I'm coupling, he's coupling.
06:50I'm listening.
06:51Are we good?
06:52Yes?
06:53Get the microphone fixed, sir.
06:54Hello, hello.
06:55There it is.
06:56Come on, come on.
06:57The tiny drip, barely perspiration, has to do with the filters.
07:00The problem when it starts to overflow a lot is because the air conditioners outside
07:04have a hose that is the one that drains the water, sometimes it ends up either in a bucket
07:08or sometimes it is covered because over time it begins to collect dirt.
07:11Same.
07:12Before calling the technician, grab that hose, try to clean it or sometimes even vacuum.
07:17Did you see how many times the oil tanks were emptied or the oil passed?
07:20Ah yes.
07:21Same technique.
07:22You absorb and you do it like this and you will see that a lot of dirt comes out.
07:25That's what covers and ends up overflowing in here.
07:28Easy, right?
07:29But you don't call a technician and there you can also end up with a ruthless technician.
07:33Perfect.
07:34When you buy a new air conditioner, does it come with gas or does it come without gas included?
07:39It comes.
07:40They charged me for the gas.
07:41It comes with gas and if it happens that they are installing it and it does not have gas,
07:46you have to return it to the factory because you have a consumer warranty for that type
07:50of purchase.
07:51You know, I install the air and I make you a price, he told me.
07:54I make you a price.
07:55I install the air, but I have to charge you 25 lucas of gas because it lacks a little gas
07:59and it goes with a lot of pressure.
08:01Nothing.
08:02What happened?
08:03Lack of professionalism.
08:04The first thing you have to do when you disassemble the package is to check if the gas is there.
08:07If the gas is not there, do you want to return it or do you want it to charge you so as not to
08:10waste time?
08:11Attention, attention on the other side.
08:12So it comes with gas.
08:13Another issue.
08:14It comes with gas.
08:15Gas is never spent in an air conditioner or in a refrigerator.
08:19Look.
08:20It is not spent.
08:21If you have to charge gas every two or three years, it is because it was lost.
08:24Then you will have to charge it.
08:25Yes, but first look for the loss.
08:27In other words, it is losing the ...
08:29Yes.
08:30Bad habit of bad technicians.
08:31They go, they charge gas.
08:32Ten minutes, they charge you.
08:33The year you have it back there.
08:35How much is a gas charge?
08:37More or less.
08:38It varies.
08:39This is a business, guys.
08:40Here is the honest one who is working.
08:42The other one is dedicated to something else.
08:44It varies.
08:45For gas capacity, that is, for gas mileage and for gas type, they start from 80 thousand
08:50pesos, 90 thousand pesos.
08:51OK.
08:52It depends on the gas nomenclature and the quantities.
08:54Perfect.
08:55Very good.
08:56Filter.
08:57Come on.
08:58Let's go with the filter.
08:59This is the easiest part.
09:00The one with the most consultation to call a technician and the one that can be avoided the most.
09:01Wait, let's get this out.
09:02I'll get this out of here.
09:03We are organizing there.
09:04There it is.
09:05Perfect.
09:06Give me the yogurt.
09:07Uh, the yogurt maker.
09:08Yogurt maker.
09:09Savings.
09:10There is a savings that people are not seeing.
09:11Hyper-economic.
09:12Juli, look for me when I'm going to give you a diet yogurt.
09:161700 pesos.
09:171700 pesos.
09:18Look for it anyway.
09:19The one from the main brand.
09:21Without cereals.
09:221, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8.
09:25With a milk and a yogurt that you already have from another previous production and a little
09:29two tablespoons of cream, of powdered milk.
09:32And there you get 8 yogurts.
09:33Are you a technician or are you an ardalep?
09:34Everything.
09:35Everything.
09:36Everything.
09:37Are you spectacular?
09:38Everything.
09:39The vacuum cleaner is covering the camera.
09:40Wait, wait.
09:41Let's get this out.
09:42Wait, wait.
09:43Let's support it here.
09:44There it is.
09:45Ready.
09:46I'm afraid to grab several things because then we throw it and break it.
09:49Nothing happens.
09:50There is a guarantee.
09:51There is a guarantee.
09:52Yes, everything is bad.
09:53There it is.
09:54Take it.
09:55Take it, little black.
09:56Come on.
09:57Come on.
09:58Go for it.
09:59Yes.
10:00Ready.
10:01Let's see.
10:02Cover.
10:03The same.
10:04Open it without fear.
10:05It looks like it's going to break.
10:06It doesn't break.
10:07It locks.
10:08Filter.
10:09Two hours I had for this.
10:10Ah, it's the fear.
10:11Without fear.
10:12Always from the bottom to the top.
10:13You're going to break it.
10:14Call a technician.
10:15It costs 50 lucas.
10:16See a technician.
10:17That's why you have to do it when you're alone.
10:18You have the filter here.
10:19It's stuck, but just like that.
10:20I mean, notice that what I did is nothing.
10:21I moved it a little up.
10:22Yes.
10:23The same, without fear.
10:24Yes.
10:25You throw, it comes out.
10:26This is the filter.
10:27In this case, the filter is clean, but it is so dirty that you will find it full of
10:28dirt.
10:29Yes.
10:30How do I wash it?
10:31Dry brush, if you want.
10:32And if you don't go to the tap, you put it like this, the other way around, where the
10:33dirt is.
10:34Yes.
10:35All the dirt is going to come out.
10:36Hydrogen.
10:37Can I put hydrogen on it?
10:38No, it is not necessary.
10:39Do it.
10:40Yes.
10:41Yes.
10:42Ah, I ask.
10:43Put it.
10:45Yes.
10:46Yes.
10:47I break it.
10:48Inside the house, no.
10:49No, but also.
10:50But already doing so, almost all the dirt comes out because it is dry.
10:51Ok.
10:52Once you fill it with water and people say, no, I'm going to put it there.
10:53Anything.
10:54Look.
10:55Like this.
10:56You shake it.
10:57Ah, the typical one.
10:58And that's it.
10:59Let it stay wet.
11:00Nothing happens.
11:01You see that ...
11:02And you put it back on.
11:03There is no risk of electrocution.
11:04There is no risk in this.
11:05Ok.
11:06Ok.
11:07You know that I had a dishwasher once.
11:08Yes.
11:09Once I had a dishwasher and it stopped working.
11:10And when I called the technician, he found that there were very small cockroaches.
11:11Very small.
11:12The Germans.
11:13Yes.
11:14They are a real plague.
11:15German cockroaches are.
11:16They are called that.
11:17I thought it was because they like plaquettes, you see.
11:18And now an import came out.
11:19We have everything.
11:20Cockroaches.
11:21The thing is that that bug ruins all the appliances.
11:22Everything.
11:23Everything.
11:24Yes.
11:25Yes.
11:26Especially the heating sources.
11:27Yes.
11:28Yes.
11:29Yes.
11:30Yes.
11:31Yes.
11:32Yes.
11:33Yes.
11:34Yes.
11:35Yes.
11:36Yes.
11:37Yes.
11:38Yes.
11:39Yes.
11:40Yes.
11:41Yes.
11:42Yes.
11:43Ok.
11:44It doesn't cool down. It doesn't cool down what I would like it to cool down.
11:49What is the problem? What can be the problems? Beyond the filter.
11:52First, the filter.
11:53And then another thing too?
11:55If it is a very hot day, like 40 degrees, it is likely that the outside unit will saturate with temperature and cut.
12:02There is no fix to be made.
12:04Another point is to have clean what would be the radiator from the outside, which would be the capacitor,
12:10clean it.
12:11And finally, you have to evaluate if it does not have gas.
12:15Easy, if it does not have gas, you go to the two channels that come out,
12:18you will find it white, like ice.
12:20There you already know that it does not have gas and there, at least, if a ruthless technician comes,
12:23you already know more or less what it is.
12:25And if nothing else, you go and listen outside.
12:27One, the air conditioner turns on the fan and at the same time it turns on an engine.
12:31You identify it by the loud noise of the engine.
12:33If you only hear the fan and the other makes a loud noise and you don't hear it,
12:36it's because the engine is not starting.
12:38And we see if it is a plate, if it is the engine or if it is a capacitor that is worth nothing
12:42and that many times they tell you that it is something else.
12:46And in reality, only the capacitor, which is quite cheap.
12:48And if the central unit dies, then yes, you go to a hardware store,
12:52you buy a hammer and you hit it with your strong fingers like this.
12:55Gonzalo, I got the soda.
12:56I said fingers.
12:57Here, look.
12:58I said fingers.
12:59Strong fingers.
13:00This is the soda.
13:01And I love the soda.
13:02Does that break too or not?
13:03No, that nothing.
13:04It has no breakage index.
13:06Perfect.
13:07Well, leave everything here.
13:08We'll break it at home.
13:09No problem, guys.
13:10Come on.
13:11And we'll publish it.
