Maintenance
The evaporator section of a system should be checked at least once for proper defrosting because the amount and pattern of frosting can vary greatly. The frost
System Standard Maintenance Guidelines
After first year of operation and under normal usage, maintenance should cover the following items at least once every six months:
1.Check and tighten ALL electrical connections.
2.Check all wiring and insulators.
3.Check contactors for proper operation and for worn contact points.
4.Check all fan motors. Tighten motor mount bolts/ nuts and tighten fan set screws.
5.Clean the condenser coil surface.
6.Check the operation of the control system. Make certain all safety controls are operating properly.
7.Check that all defrost controls are functioning properly.
8.Clean the evaporator coil surface.
9.Clean the drain pan and check the drain pan and drain line for proper drainage.
Refrigeration Sequence of Operation
1.Power is provided to the temperature control, compressor contactor and cooler evaporator fans.
2.The temperature controller closes and energizes the compressor contactor, starting the compressor, evaporator and condenser fan(s).
3.When the system reaches the desired box temperature, the temperature control will
4.When the fixture temperature rises above the set point and minimum
Electric Defrost Sequence of Operation for Freezers
1.During normal operation, at the preset time intervals, the temperature/defrost control will

2.When the coil has defrosted fully and has reached the preset coil temperature (as sensed by the coil temperature sensor) the defrost heater
Freezer Defrost Control -
Medium & Large Cabinet
freezer units come factory equipped with an electronic temperature/defrost control. There are 2 different models of electronic control used and it is important to determine which one is present on your unit before altering any factory settings. Please refer to the picture of the controller display on this page to determine the model used. Instructions for any necessary reprogramming are included in this manual on pages
Dixell Electronic Controller
The Dixell
The controllers use two levels of programming that can be accessed through the keypad. The first level is the user level. It gives access to six settings; temp. differential, defrost cycle intervals, defrost termination temperature, draining time, defrost fan delay, and fan stop temperature.
The second level is the service level. It allows access to all other parameters. It is recommended that changes in this level be made only by a qualified technician.
