COMPONENT TESTS

A)Thermostat Adjustments:

-CCW - DECREASES TEMPERATURE

The Thermostat is factory set for proper dispense temperature of 200°F ± 3°F with the control knob set to the maximum clockwise position. If field adjustments are needed proceed as follows:

To DECREASE temperature, turn the control knob slightly counter-clockwise.

For qualified technicians ONLY:

 

To INCREASE the water temperature - With the Thermostat Knob to its maximum

 

clockwise position, remove the knob and locate the slotted adjustment screw

 

inside the hollow thermostat shaft, Note: glyptal may need to be removed to gain

 

access, then using a narrow-bladed screwdriver, engage slotted adjustment

 

screw and turn it ¼ turn slowly counter-clockwise.

 

Allow a few minutes for the temperature to reach set level. The Heater Light will

 

go ON, indicating the heating element is activated, wait for it to go OFF, indicating

ADJUSTMENT

that the water has reached new set temperature. Take a temperature reading and

SCREW

repeat if necessary.

B) Water Inlet Valve Test

 

Turn power OFF. If the water level rises inside a partially filled tank, the

HOSE NUT ASSY

 

Water Inlet Valve is leaking. Disconnect wires from the Water Inlet

 

Valve coil and connect a 2 wire line cord to the terminals. Plug it into a

 

115V outlet. If water flows in and stops when you pull it out, the Valve

 

is working fine. Repeat this test a few times. The problem may be in

 

the Probe or Water Level Control Board. If the water does not flow in

 

when the cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, the Solenoid coil may

 

be damaged, opened or the valve may have an obstruction preventing

WATER INLET VALVE

the water from flowing in. Clean or replace it.

 

 

 

C) Dual Probe Test

 

If lack of water persists, check the probe as follows:

BLUE

Turn on the power and water supply. Check inside the tank to make

 

sure the water is below the Probe. Pull the BLUE wire and terminal

 

OFF the Probe rod. If water still does not flow after the wire is

 

disconnected from the Probe, the problem may be in the Solid State

DUAL PROBE

Dual Level Control Board.

 

If water starts flowing into the tank, the Probe may be grounded, due to

 

excessive liming. Check with Ohm meter. Clean or replace probe.

 

 

 

D) Dual Probe Liquid Level Controller Test

 

Check the Controller as follows:

 

1. Make sure there is power input to the Controller at the terminals AC1

 

& AC2

 

Your voltmeter should read 115 Volts. It should read the same at

 

terminals AC1 & FILL when the water level is low. This is the output

 

power to actuate the coil of the Solenoid Valve to open it. The lack of

 

voltage at terminals AC1 & L-LEVEL or H-LEVEL indicates that the

 

Controller is not working properly.

 

2. Make sure all wire connections are tight, including ground.

 

3. If after this, the Controller is still failing to open the Water Inlet Valve,

 

replace it.
