4. HARVEST CONTROL – THERMISTOR

A thermistor (semiconductor) is used as a harvest control sensor, anti-slush sensor, and overfreeze sensor.

The resistance varies depending on the suction line temperatures. The thermistor detects the temperature of the evaporator outlet to start the harvest timer or momentarily stop the pump motor during the freeze cycle, or to extend the harvest cycle time. No adjustment is required. If necessary, check for resistance between thermistor leads, and visually check the thermistor mounting, located on the suction line next to the evaporator outlet.

Check a thermistor for resistance by using the following procedure:

1)Disconnect the thermistor (orange wires) at the 2-pin connector on the control box. See Fig. below.

2)Remove the thermistor. See "V. 17. THERMISTOR."

3)Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3 minutes.

4)Check for a resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 3.5 to 7 k. Replace the thermistor if it exceeds the normal reading.
