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

 

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.

2. Lime Buildup

CAUTION - Tank and tank components should be delimed regularly depending on local water conditions. Excessive mineral buildup on stainless steel surfaces can initiate corrosive reactions resulting in serious leaks.

the brewer. It must be between 20

 

 

and 90 psi (138 and 620 kPa).

 

3. Brew Valve

Test the Brew Valve. Refer to Testing

 

 

Individual Components. Turn the

 

 

valve on for 30 seconds and collect

 

 

the water dispensed from the spray-

 

 

head. Repeat the test several times

 

 

to confirm a consistent volume of

 

 

dispensed water. If not consistent,

 

 

check the valve, tubing and spray-

 

 

head for lime buildup.

 

4. Bypass Valve

If bypass is being used on the

 

 

inconsistent brewing recipe, test

 

 

the Bypass Valve. Refer to Testing

 

 

Individual Components. Turn the

 

 

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

 

 

opening for lime buildup.

 

5. Lime buildup

Inspect for lime buildup that could

 

 

block the tank, tank fittings, tubing,

 

 

valves and sprayhead.
