c. Determine if unit is performing the proper 30 minutes
cool cycle, followed by a 5 minutes defrost cycle. After
every 30 minutes, the unit will go into an automatic 5
minute defrost. During the 5 minute defrost cycle, the
compressor shuts down. Thus, during this period,
when looking at the thermometers located on the
side of the unit, the hot temperature will rise to
approximately 210/215 degrees F. During this period,
the cold thermometer will rise to approximately 55° F.
Once the defrost cycle ends, the hot & cold temperatures will level out in approximately 10 minutes. If
cycling properly:
d. Check the continuity of the cold Side Thermistor at the
Danfoss control. If no continuity, replace the
Thermistor. To do this, the complete Simplicool
refrigeration unit will have to be removed from the
cabinet. See: Simplicool Refrigeration Unit Change
Our Instructions” on page 5 of this manual. Once the
Simplicool system has been removed, see section
“Replacemant of Danfoss Cold Thermistor” on Page 7
of this manual. If O.K.:
e. Check the Danfoss control to make sure that it is at
the proper setting. See “Danfoss Control Location
and Setting” section on page 7 of this manual. To
properly set the Danfoss control, turn the stem
clockwise as far as it will go. If O.K.:
f. Check the seal between the Simplicool refrigeration
unit and the cabinet. There must be a good seal
between the Simplicool unit and the cabinet bottom.
First make sure that the Simplicool refrigeration unit
is sitting properly on the support pedestals with Split
Washers and that the Rear Retainer bracket is in
place. See section “Simplicool Refrigeration Unit
Change Out Instructions” on page 5 and refer
specifically to figures 1, 2 & 5.
g. Check the operation of the Simplicool refrigeration
unit. If faulty, it can not be repaired. Contact Dinex for
a replacement unit. If under warranty,the faulty unit
can be exchanged for a new one. For out of warranty
units, a new unit can be purchased and a partial
credit given for the return of the failed unit.To
replace the unit, refer to the “Simplicool Refrigeration
Unit Change Out Instructions” on page 5 of this manual.
IMPORTANT:
The following troubleshooting steps may
require the removal of the “Hot Box Assembly”.
NOTE:
The Hi-Limit Thermostat, Hot Side Thermocouple and
the Blower Assembly are all located in this box.
See section “Removal of the Hot Box Assembly” on page 8
of this manual.
d. Next, check the heating element:First, energize the
unit and check the voltage across the heater terminals.
If no voltage reading, check internal electrical wiring to
the element. If there is 120 volts across the heater
terminals, clamp an amp meter around one of the
heating element lead wires. The heating element is
rated 120 VAC, 1100 watts, thus, the amp meter should
read approximately 9 amps. If not,replace the heating
element. If so,the heating element is O.K.:
e. Perform a continuity check on the hot side thermo-
couple.This thermocouple can be accessed at the Cal
3300 controller.If no continuity, replace the thermocouple. If O.K.
f. Check the hi-limit thermostat for continuity.Since the
unit is not heating, the hi-limit thermostat should be
closed. If not, replace it. Please note that this hi-limit
thermostat is set to open at 300 F. Its sole purpose is
to act as a safety device. If hi-limit is O.K.:
g. Check blower assembly.See if motor is running. There
should be some motor/blower wheel vibration. Also,
an air flow should be felt from inside the heated compartment. If not, check for 120 volts at the motor. If
there is not 120 volts, check internal wiring. If so, and
the air flow does not seem to be adequate, if available,
use an Anemometer to measure the air flow. To do
this, remove the air plentum from inside the cabinet
and check the air flow. The air flow should be from
700 to 900 FPM. If not, replace the blower assembly.
3. Unit Not Cooling:
a. Make sure that all of the electrical wiring is in order;
next make sure that there is approximately 12”of
open air space at the louvered panels located in the
lower portion of the cabinet. Improper air flow thru
the louvered panels can cause improper cooling. This
condition can also cause overheating of the compressor and void the equipment warranty. If there is proper
air space:
b. Check to see if the filter located behind one of the
louvered panels is dirty. To access the filter see section
“Accessing and Cleaning of the Compressor Filter”on
page 5 of this manual. Please note that the cleaning of
the air filter is not covered under warranty.
If filter is clean:
