C1000AP & C1000APT Airpot Brewer

TROUBLE SHOOTING CONTINUED:

PROBLEM: WATER DOES NOT FLOW INTO HEATING TANK.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

3.

Grounded probe

When the water level gets below the probe tip, water should automatically refill the tank.

 

 

If not, pull wire off the probe terminal. Water should now start flowing into the tank. If not,

 

 

check the water level control board (see step 4) or inlet valve (step 2).

 

 

4. Defective water level control

Disconnect wire from probe terminal. With a voltmeter, check voltage at the water inlet

 

board

coil terminals. This should read 110-120 volts. If no voltage is present, check liquid level

 

 

control (L.L.C.) board. Make sure the L.L.C. board is supplied by 120V across terminals

 

 

T2 & T3. The L.L.C. board is grounded to the chassis of the machine by contacting the

 

 

board to the mounting bracket. Make sure board is grounded here. Check for loose con-

 

 

nections at terminals. Replace board.

 

 

 

PROBLEM: WATER HEATING TANK OVERFLOWING.

 

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

1.

Defective water inlet valve

Turn power off and observe water level. If water continues to flow into the heating tank,

 

 

clean or replace leaky valve.

 

 

 

2.

Probe limed-up

Disconnect wire from probe terminal. Touch the body of the heating tank with the

 

 

terminal at the end of this wire. If water stops, try cleaning the probe. Probe may have

 

 

to be replaced.

 

 

3. Non-grounded or loose terminal

Liquid level control board must be securely grounded through the back of the board

 

connections at liquid level

and the mounting bracket. Check for loose connections at the terminals. Check for

 

control board

voltage across the inlet valve terminals. If there is 110 to 120 volts present at the inlet

 

 

valve terminals when water level is touching the probe tip, replace the L.L.C. board.

 

 

PROBLEM: WATER IN TANK DOES NOT REACH PROPER TEMPERATURE

 

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

1.

Thermostat turned OFF

Check thermostat to make sure the shaft is rotated fully clockwise until it stops.

 

 

(or not fully ON).

 

 

 

 

2.

Defective thermostat

Replace thermostat if contacts are open when shaft is fully clockwise and water temper-

ature is less than 190º F. You will measure 120 volts (approximately) to ground from both

 

 

 

 

thermostat terminals when it is ON and from only one terminal when it is OFF.

3.

Defective Contactor

Measure the voltage across the coil terminals of the contactor. If you read 110/120V, but

 

 

 

 

the contacts remain open, the coil is burned out. Replace it.
