TROUBLESHOOTING
A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic Technical Service Department.
•Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
•All electronic components have 120 - 240 volt ac and low voltage dc potential on their terminals.
Shorting of terminals or the application of external voltages may result in board failure.
•Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. Board failure will normally be permanent. If an intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose connection at a terminal or crimp.
•Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
•The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened.
This will help avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
•Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and electrical connections tight and isolated.
•This brewer is heated at all times. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING
•Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
•Disconnect the brewer from the power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified.
•Follow recommended service procedures.
•Replace all protective shields or safety notices.

3. Refill Probe or Sensitivity Setting
Check the sensitivity setting. Refer to Refill function. If the left three digit number is less than the right number, the machine “thinks” it is full and the refill valve should be off. If the left number is larger than the right, then the refill valve will automatically be turned on to fill the tank. The right number is the threshold setting and can be adjusted to compensate for extreme water conditions: very pure, low conductance water requires a higher setting, while high mineral content, high conductance water requires a lower setting. Note that the left number changes from a high value when water is NOT touching the refill probe to a low value when water IS touching the probe. For best operation, the right number should be set to a value midway between these low and high numbers. Before changingthesetting,confirmthatthe refill probe is free of scale buildup and the connection to it is secure.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Remove power from the brewer. Connect a voltmeter across one of the tank heaters. Reapply power to the brewer and refer to Testing Individual Components. If the full supply voltage is measured when the tank heater is turned on, and zero voltage is measured with the triac off, then the triac is good. If half the supply voltage is measured, the triac is defective. If very low, or zerovoltageismeasured,therecould be a defective triac or a defective control board.
Perform the above procedure for testing triacs. If the voltage measured is very low or zero, then substitute a control board known to be in good working order.
Spitting or unusual steaming from sprayhead or air vents. (Water too hot)
1. Triac |
Remove power from the brewer. |
|
Connect a voltmeter across one of |

|
head. Repeat the test several times |
|
|
to confirm a consistent volume of |

head for lime buildup. |
|
4. Bypass Valve |
If bypass is being used on the |

inconsistent brewing recipe, test |
|
|
the Bypass Valve. Refer to Testing |

|
valve on for 30 seconds and collect |
|
|
the water collected from the bypass |
|
|
opening. Repeat the test several |

times to confirm a consistent volume |
|
|
of dispensed water. If not consistent, |
|
|
check the valve, tubing and bypass |
|

SERVICE TOOLS
This function allows the testing of individual components and the ability to check switches for proper function. This function also tests the Soft Heat server's status on the brewer (in place or removed), and the funnel sensor coil's frequency (diagnostic tool for troubleshooting purposes only).
Testing individual components (outputs):
This will allow the operator to test the operation of individual components and outputs of the brewer. The components that can be individually tested are as follows:
SINGLE Brewers
Brew Valve
Bypass Valve
Funnel Lock (Optional)
Server (SH models only)
Refill Valve
Tank Heaters
Heater Contactor
DUAL Brewers
Left Brew Valve
Left Bypass
Left Funnel Lock (Optional)
Left Server (SH models only)
Right Brew Valve
Right Bypass
Right Funel Lock (Optional)
Right Server (SH models only)
Refill Valve
Tank Heaters
Heater Contactor
Procedure to test components (outputs):
1.Place brew funnel(s) into rails on the brewer (both sides on DUAL brewers).
2.Place server(s) beneath the brew funnel(s).
3.Press and hold the upper right hidden switch until display reads UNITS. Release the switch. Continue to press and release switch until SERVICE TOOLS appears.
4.Press YES to run tests on various components and outputs within the brewer. Pressing NO will exit this function and advance to next function screen.
5.The display should read TEST OUTPUTS.
6.Press and release YES. The display should read: BREW VALVE on SINGLE brewers
LEFT BREW VALVE on DUAL brewers.
7.To test BREW VALVE, press ON. If the brew valve is functional, water should run from the brewer (left side on DUAL brewers)
8.Press OFF to end flow of water.
9.Press NEXT to advance to the next component to be tested.
NOTE: To bypass testing any component, press NEXT to advance to the next one, without testing the previous component.
10.To test BREW BYPASS on SINGLE brewers or LEFT BREW BYPASS on DUAL brewers, press ON. If the bypass valve is functional, water should run from the brew bypass (left side on DUAL brewers).
11.Press OFF to end flow of water.
12.Press NEXT to advance to the next component to be tested.
13.To test FUNNEL LOCK on SINGLE brewers or LEFT FUNNEL LOCK on DUAL brewers, press ON. If the funnel lock is functional, the lock will come down to hold the funnel in place.
14.Press OFF to retract the funnel lock.
15.Press NEXT to advance to the next component to be tested.
16.(SH models only) To test SERVER on SINGLE brewers or LEFT SERVER on DUAL brewers, press ON. If the server and the sensor are functional, the light on the lower right corner of the server will illuminate.
17.Press OFF to end testing of server.
18.Press NEXT to advance to the next component to be tested.
19.For DUAL brewers, follow steps 7 through 16 to test the right side components.
20.To test REFILL VALVE, press ON. If the refill valve is functional, the sound of the valve operating will be heard.
21.Press OFF to end testing of refill valve.
22.Press NEXT to advance to the next component to be tested.
23.To test TANK HEATERS, connect a voltmeter across each of the tank heaters to check for voltage.
24.Press ON. The correct voltage should be present at the heater terminals.
25.Press OFF to end testing of the tank heaters.
