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
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 |
| |
screw and turn it ¼ turn slowly |
| |
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. | THERMOSTAT | |
|
| |
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 & |
| |
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. |
