2.3 FREEZER INSTALLATION
Installation of the freezer involves moving the freezer close
to its permanent location, removing all crating, setting in
place, assembling parts, and cleaning.
A. Uncrate the freezer.
B. Accurate leveling is necessary for correct drainage of
freezer barrel and to insure correct overrun. Place a
spirit level on top of the freezer at each corner to
check for level condition. If adjustment is necessary,
level the freezer by turning the bottom part of each leg
in or out. Then separate freezer base gasket and
install with seam to the back and angle to the top. (Fig.
4).
Figure 5. Space and Ventilation Requirements
E. Connect the power cord. The plug is designed for 208
or 230 volt/20 amp duty. Check the nameplate on your
freezer for proper supply. The unit must be connected
to a properly grounded receptacle. The electrical cord
furnished as part of the freezer has a three prong
grounding type plug (Fig. 6). The use of an extension
cord is not recommended, if necessary use one with
a size 12 gauge or heavier with ground wire. Do not use
an adapter to get around grounding requirement.

A. SPIGOT SWITCH
The SPIGOT switch will automatically actuate the
auger drive and refrigeration systems when the spigot
is opened to dispense product. When the spigot is
closed, the drive motor and compressor will remain
"on" until the product in the barrel reaches the proper
consistency, or temperature.
B. OFF-ON SWITCH
The OFF-ON switch is a two position toggle switch
used to supply power to the control circuit. When the
switch is in the OFF position, nothing will run. When
the switch is in the ON position the freezer will be in
the idle mode until a switch is activated.
C. PUSH TO FREEZE SWITCH
The PUSH TO FREEZE switch is a "snap" switch used
to start the freezing cycle. During initial freeze down,
the OFF-ON switch is placed in the ON position. Then
the PUSH TO FREEZE switch is pressed until the
drive motor and compressor come "ON".
NOTE
After the gearmotor starts, there is a 3 second delay before the compressor starts.
During the normal operation, the red PUSH TO FREEZE
switch light will illuminate after the freezer has been
idle for the preset cycles. Before drawing product,
press the PUSH TO FREEZE switch if it is illuminated.
Wait until the green light is illuminated before dispensing.
NOTE
If the freezer shuts off and the PUSH TO FREEZE
light flashes, you have an error condition. Turn the
OFF-ON swtich to the OFF position, correct the
problem and turn the freezer back on. (See Troubleshooting.)
D. GREEN LIGHT
The green light is used to indicate that the product has
reached the proper consistency or temperature and is
ready to be dispensed.
NOTE
If the PUSH TO FREEZE red light is illuminated,
push the PUSH TO FREEZE switch and wait until
the green light illuminates before dispensing.
F. DRIVE MOTOR OVERLOAD
The internal DRIVE MOTOR OVERLOAD will trip if the
drive motor is overloaded. It will reset after approximately 10-12 minutes. If the drive motor continues to
trip, refer to Troubleshooting (Sec. 4).
G. RED MIX LOW LENS
The red MIX LOW light is designed to alert the operator
to a low mix condition. The lens will illuminate with
approximately one gallon of mix in the hopper. When
the MIX LOW lens is lit, refill hopper immediately.
NOTE
Failure to refill hopper immediately may result in
operational problems.
H. HOLD READY SWITCH
The HOLD READY switch is a push button switch.
When pushed in and held for 5 seconds, the hold ready
mode will be activated. The product will remain ready
to serve and the freezer will not go to idle. To return to
normal operation push and hold for 5 seconds.
3.3 SANITIZING
Sanitizing must be done after the freezer is cleaned and
just before the hopper is filled with mix. Sanitizing the night
before is not effective. However, you should always clean
the freezer and parts after using it.
WARNING
THE UNITED ST ATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL TURE AND THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRA TION REQUIRE THA T ALL CLEANING AND
SANITIZING SOLUTIONS USED WITH FOOD
PROCESSING EQUIPMENT BE CERTIFIED FOR
THIS USE.
When sanitizing the freezer, refer to local sanitary regulations for applicable codes and recommended sanitizing
products and procedures. The frequency of sanitizing
must comply with local health regulations. Mix sanitizer
according to manufacturer's instructions to provide a 100
parts per million strength solution. Mix sanitizer in quantities of no less than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of 120°F water.
Allow sanitizer to contact the surfaces to be sanitized for
5 minutes. Any sanitizer must be used only in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
E. CLEAN SWITCH
The CLEAN switch is a "snap" switch. When the
switch is pushed the refrigeration system will be OFF
and the auger will rotate for cleaning. When the switch
is pushed again, the auger will stop and the CLEAN
light will flash indicating the freezer is in the CLEAN
mode. To exit the CLEAN mode turn the OFF-ON
switch to the OFF position. If the freezer is left in
CLEAN for more than 30 minutes or is pushed three
times in ten seconds, it will go in error. To reset place
the CLEAN-OFF-ON switch in the ON position and
allow the error light to flash a minimum of 10 minutes.
Then turn to off, wait 5 seconds and turn on.
NOTE
Stoelting, Inc. has found that STERA-SHEEN
GREEN LABEL SANITIZER AND CLEANER does
an effective job of properly sanitizing and cleaning a
soft serve freezer. We therefore include a sample
with each new freezer. Other products may be as
effective. For further information refer to cleaning and
sanitizing information Section 3.13.
CAUTION
PROLONGED CONTACT OF SANITIZER WITH
FREEZER MA Y CAUSE CORROSION OF ST AINLESS STEEL P ARTS.

In general, sanitizing may be conducted as follows:
A. Push the mix inlet regulator into hopper with air
inlet (long) tube toward the front of the freezer
(Fig.11).
Figure 11. Mix Inlet Regulator
B. Prepare 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of sanitizing solution
following manufacturer's instructions. Pour into hopper with mix inlet regulator in place.
C. Place the OFF-ON toggle switch in the ON position
while pressing the CLEAN switch. Check for leaks.
(Fig. 12.)
E. After five minutes, place a bucket under the spigot and
open spigot to drain sanitizing solution. When solution
has drained, press the CLEAN snap switch to stop the
auger. Allow the freezer barrel to drain completely
(Fig. 14).

3.4 FREEZE DOWN AND OPERATION
This section covers the recommended operating procedures to be followed for the safe operation of the freezer.
Figure 12. Clean Control
D. Clean sides of hopper, mix inlet regulator and under
side of hopper cover using a sanitized soft bristle brush
dipped in the sanitizing solution. (Fig. 13).
A. Sanitize just prior to use.
B. Place the OFF-ON switch in the OFF position.
C. With spigot open, pour approximately 1 gallon (3.8
liters) of mix into the hopper. Allow the mix to flush out
about 8 ounces (0.23 liters) of sanitizing solution and
liquid mix. Close the spigot.
D. Fill hopper with approximately 3 gallons (11.4 liters) of
pre-chilled (40°F or 4°C) mix.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE HOPPER. MIX LEVEL
MUST NOT BE HIGHER THAN THE AIR INLET
TUBE ON THE MIX INLET REGULA TOR.
E. The freezer barrel will automatically fill until it is about
1/2 full. If freezer barrel does not fill, check for obstruction in the mix inlet regulator. If freezer barrel fills over
1/2 full, indicated by low overrun, check for leaks at the
mix inlet regulator "O" Ring or check if the mix inlet
regulator was installed correctly or that the freezer is
level.
F. Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position, then
press the PUSH TO FREEZE switch until the freezer
starts.
Figure 13. Sanitizing Hopper
NOTE
After the gearmotor starts, there is a 3 second delay before the compessor starts.

Page 18
G. After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut OFF
and the green lens will illuminate. The product is ready
to serve. Freeze down time may be longer for some
frozen diet dessert mixes. High ambient temperatures
may extend freeze down time.
H. For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully
open 60° (Fig. 15).
Figure 15. Dispensing Product
Mix does not improve with age. Old mix, or mix that has
been stored at too high temperature, can result in a
finished product that is less than satisfactory from the
appearance and taste standpoint. To retard bacteria growth
in dairy based mixes, the best storage temperature range
is between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4°C).
Some products tend to foam more than others. If excess
foam should occur, skim off with a sanitized utensil and
discard. Periodically, stir the mix in the hopper with a
sanitized utensil.
3.6 REMOVING MIX FROM FREEZER
To remove the mix from the freezer, refer to the following
steps:
A. Remove the mix inlet regulator from the hopper by
pulling straight up (Fig. 16).
CAUTION
REFRIGERATION IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIV A TED WHEN THE SPIGOT IS OPENED. CLOSE
THE SPIGOT COMPLETELY AFTER DISPENSING.
I.The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a
reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the
result is a soft product or a product that will not
dispense at all. If this should occur, allow the freezer
to run for approximately 30 seconds before dispensing
additional product. After a while the operator will sense
or feel when the freezer is beginning to fall behind, and
will slow down on the rate of draw so as not to exceed
the capacity.
J.Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is
on or with less than 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) of mix in the
hopper. Refill the hopper immediately.
3.5 MIX INFORMATION
Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to
another. Differences in the amount of butter-fat content and
quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct
bearing on the finished frozen product. A change in freezer
performance that cannot be explained by a technical
problem may be related to the mix.
Figure 16. Removing Mix Inlet Regulator
B. Place the OFF-ON rocker switch in the ON position
and push the CLEAN switch to rotate the auger. Allow
the mix to agitate in freezer barrel until the mix has
become a liquid, about 5 minutes.
C. Drain the liquid mix by opening the spigot. A bucket or
container should be placed under the spigot to catch
the liquid mix. (Fig. 17).
D. Place the OFF-ON switch in the OFF position.
Proper product serving temperature varies from one
manufacturer's mix to another. Soft serve mixes should
provide a satisfactory product in the 18° to 20°F (-7° to
-6°C) range, shake mixes 24° to 28°F (-4° to -2°C).
When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in
the frozen product to read the true temperature.

13
Page 22
3.13 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that a maintenance schedule be followed to keep the freezer clean and operating properly.
A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Information
CLEANING vs. SANITIZING
It is important to distinguish between cleaning and
sanitizing. Although these terms may sound
synonymous, they are not. BOTH are required for
adequate food safety and proper machine
maintenance.
Soft serve freezers require special consideration
when it comes to food safety and proper cleaning
and sanitizing.
The following information has been compiled by
Purdy Products Company, makers of Stera-Sheen
Green Label Cleaner/Sanitizer and specifically
covers issues for cleaning and sanitizing frozen
dessert machines. This information is meant to
supplement a comprehensive food safety program.
Soil Materials Associated with Frozen Dessert
Machines
MILKFAT/BUTTERFAT – As components of icecream/frozen custard mix, these soils will
accumulate on the interior surfaces of the machine
and its parts. Fats are difficult to remove and help
attribute to milkstone build-up.
MILKSTONE – Is a white/gray film that forms on
equipment and utensils that come in contact with
dairy products. These films will accumulate slowly
on surfaces because of ineffective cleaning, use of
hard water, or both. Milkstone is usually a porous
deposit, which will harbor microbial
contaminants and eventually defy sanitizingefforts.
Once milkstone has formed, it is very difficult to
remove. Without using the correct product and
procedure, it is nearly impossible to remove a thick
layer of milkstone.
(NOTE: general-purpose cleaners DO NOT remove
milkstone.) This can lead to high bacteria counts
and a food safety dilemma.
IT IS BEST TO CONTROL MILKSTONE ON A
DAILY BASIS BEFORE IT CAN BECOME A
SIGNIFICANT FOOD SAFETY PROBLEM.
In addition to food safety, milkstone can cause
premature wear to machine parts which can add to
costs for replacement parts or possibly more
expensive repairs if worn machine parts are not
replaced once they have become excessively worn.
Important Differences Between Cleaning and
Sanitizing
CLEANING
·Is the removal of soil materials from a surface.
·Is a prerequisite for effective sanitizing.
NOTE
An UNCLEAN surface will harbor
bacteria that can defy sanitizing efforts.
Bacteria can develop and resist sanitizing efforts
within a layer of soil material (milkstone). Thorough
cleaning procedures that involve milkstone
removal are critical for operators of frozen
dessert machines.
SANITIZING
·Kills bacteria.
·Can be effective on clean surfaces only.
NOTE
Using a SANTITIZER on an unclean surface will not
guarantee a clean and safe frozen dessert machine.
Proper Daily Maintenance:
The Only Way to Assure Food Safety and
Product Quality
Proper daily maintenance can involve a wide variety
of products and procedures. Overall, the products
and procedures fall into three separate categories.
(Please note that this is a brief overview intended for
informational purposes only.)
1.CLEANING – This involves draining mix from the
freezer barrel and rinsing the machine with
water. Next, a cleaner is run through the
machine. Then, the machine is disassembled
and removable parts are taken to the sink for
cleaning.
2.MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Since almost all
cleaners do not have the ability to remove
milkstone, the use of a delimer becomes
necessary. Although this procedure may not be
needed on a daily basis, it will usually follow the
cleaning procedure. It requires letting a delimer
solution soak in the machine for an extended
period of time. Individual parts are also soaked
in a deliming solution for an extended period of
time (more about delimers in AdditionalInformation).
14
Page 23
3. SANITIZING – After the machine has been
cleaned and contains no milkstone, the
machine is reassembled. Then a FDA-approved
sanitizing solution is run through the machine to
kill bacteria. The machine is then ready for food
preparation.
As a recommended cleaner and sanitizer for your
frozen dessert machine, STERA-SHEEN has proven
to be one of the best daily maintenance products for:
·CLEANING – Thorough removal of all solids
including butterfat and milk fat.
·MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Complete removal of
milkstone.
THE USE OF CHLORINE TEST STRIPS
“Test strips” are used to determine concentrations of
active chlorine in sanitizing solutions. To use the
strips, tear off a small portion and submerge it into
the sanitizing solution. Then, compare the color
change to the color key on the side of the test strip
dispenser to determine the approximate chlorine
concentration.
The ideal concentration of chlorine needs to be 100
ppm (as stated by the FDA).
NOTE
Follow the directions on the container for proper
concentration.
·SANITIZING – FDA-approved no rinse sanitizer
for food contact surfaces.
Additional Information
THE USE OF DELIMERS
A delimer is a strong acid that has the ability to
dissolve milkstone. This type of chemical may
become necessary once high levels of milkstone
have developed. While these products are very
effective for removing HIGH levels of milkstone, they
are not ideal for two reasons:
1.PRODUCT SAFETY – Strong acids are
dangerous chemicals and handling them
requires safety
2.MACHINE DAMAGE – Strong acids will attack
metal and rubber causing premature wear of
parts. The use of a delimer needs to be closely
monitored to avoid damage to machine surfaces
and parts.
With proper daily use of STERA-SHEEN or it’s
equivalent, there is no need for the use of a
DELIMER.
DO NOT USE BLEACH
·BLEACH HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLEANING
PROPERTIES.
·BLEACH IS CORROSIVE. It can and will
damage components of the machine causing
premature wear and metal corrosion.
There are two main factors that contribute to falling
chlorine concentrations in a sanitizing solution.
1.PRODUCT USE – As the chlorine in the
solution is being used, chlorine concentrations
fall.
2.TIME – As time passes, small amounts of
chlorine “evaporate” from the solution. (That is
why you can smell it.)
Sanitizing solutions should not be allowed to fall
below 100 ppm chlorine. New solutions should be
mixed once old solutions become ineffective
WARNING
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR OR PERFORM
MAINTENANCE ON FREEZER UNTIL THE MAIN
ELECTRICAL POWER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.
B. DAILY
1.The exterior should be kept clean at all times to
preserve the lustre of the stainless steel. A mild
alkaline cleaner is recommended. Use a soft
cloth or sponge to apply the cleaner.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ACID CLEANERS, STRONG CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS OR ABRASIVE MA TERIALS TO
CLEAN ANY P ART OF THE FREEZER EXTERIOR
OR PLASTIC P ARTS.
GENERAL PURPOSE CLEANERS
General purpose cleaners do not have the ability to
remove milkstone. Milkstone will become a problem
if not remedied with additional products and
procedures.
C. WEEKLY

Figure 32. Electrical Box
4.4CONDENSERS
The air-cooled condenser is a copper tube and aluminum
fin type. Condensing is totally dependent upon airflow.
A plugged condenser filter, condenser, or restrictions in
the louvered panel will restrict airflow. This will lower the
capacity of the system and damage the compressor.
Figure 33. Condenser and Filter
The condenser and condenser filter require periodic
cleaning. To clean, refer to the following procedures.
WARNING
DISCONNECT FREEZER FROM ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.

protect the compressor from liquid slugging. This
also assures that sub-cooled liquid is being
supplied to the expansion devices.
6. Install the bulb on the suction line exiting the
evaporator (Figure 38). The T.X.V . bulb should always
be mounted on the top of the horizontal line. Good
contact between the bulb and suction line is

refrigeration system must be leaked checked, purged
and evacuated to 500 microns of mercury or less at
either barrel outlet access fitting proceeding suction
line solenoid valves.
4.9HOPPER
A parallel refrigeration circuit feeds the hoppers. A
capillary tube is used to meter the refrigerant to each
hopper. An E.P.R. (Evaporator Pressure Regulating)
valve is used to control the refrigerant flow at the outlets.
The E.P.R. valve controls the hopper pressure so during
heavy dispensing periods, hopper temperatures will not
drop and freeze the mix in the hopper. The adjustable
E.P.R. valve is preset at the factory. If the hopper
temperature is too cold or too warm, an E.P.R. valve
adjustment may be necessary.
Figure 40. E.P.R. Schrader Access Fitting
5. If the pressure gauge reading does not fall between
the 50-52 P.S.I.G. parameters, proceed with the
following steps.
6. Remove the plastic cap and loosen the locknut on
the E.P.R. valve. Then, using a small screwdriver,
turn the valve stem one-forth (90°) turn
counterclockwise for more cooling or clockwise for
less cooling (Figure 41).

4.16SOLENOID VALVE
To check for leaking valve seats, follow the procedure
outlined below.
NOTE
Freezer barrels must not contain frozen product
for this test.
1. T o check the liquid line solenoid valve seats, we must
disconnect one of the electrical lines from each of
the liquid line solenoids. Protect the terminal end of
the disconnected electrical line with a piece of
electrical tape. Then, connect the low side pressure
gauges to the access fittings. Force the freezer to
run by turning the OFF/ON switch to the ON position
and opening the spigot. The gauge should show
approximately 9” of vacuum after 1 minute. If the
gauge does not reach 1” of vacuum in 1 minute and
hold, you may have a leaking solenoid valve seat or
leaking valves in the compressor. (Figure 46)

SECTION 5
CONTROLS
5.1CONTROL SYSTEM TYPE 4
The control system is the brain of the freezer. To
understand how to service the freezer, it is essential to
understand how the control system operates. The Type
4 control is a consistency control and a temperature
control. To change functions, it is necessary to cut one
diode.
The control system when placed in the consistency
mode monitors the consistency (firmness) of the product
(mix) in the freezer evaporator. As the product freezes,
the drive motor develops a higher torque (resistance)
because of the freezing of the product in the evaporator.
The energy used to operate the drive motor is in direct
proportion to the torque. As the drive motor torque
increase, so does the energy required to operate the
motor. The program module senses the energy usage
and shuts off the drive motor when the preprogrammed
energy value is reached. The freezer will remain OFF
until the temperature rises to the preset looking
temperature (barrel temperature), then start.
The control system, when placed in the temperature
mode, monitors the product temperature in the freezer
evaporator. When the product temperature increases,
the temperature sensor probe sends an electronic signal
to the temperature control, which signals the compressor
and drive motor to switch ON. When the temperature
control is satisfied, the compressor will stop, and
approximately 10 seconds later, the gearmotor will stop.
The control also contains a hopper temperature control
(separate hopper refrigeration system only) and liquid
level indicator to monitor the mix temperature and level
in the hopper. When servicing a freezer in the consistency
mode, keep in mind the control system monitors product
consistency. To minimize the beating of product in the
evaporator, the program module will switch to the idle
mode after the preset number of consistency cycles are
complete. In the idle mode, the control is programmed to
maintain a preset hopper and barrel temperature. In this
idle mode, a servable consistency will not be held.
5.2POWER BOARD
The power board is where the actual sensing of the drive
motor energy usage occurs. The power board also
supplies energy to the program module and sends
electronic signals associated with the drive motor
sensing. The 115 or 230/12 volt transformer and
associated circuitry are used to supply D.C. voltages to
operate the program module. There are two relays to
transfer power to the compressor and drive motor
contactors. The power board has a third relay; it is used
to transfer power to control the liquid line solenoid valve.
The relay will close after 2 hours of red light idle causing
the solenoid to open. There are four L.E.D.’s to monitor
the board’s operation. One L.E.D. indicates power to the
board. Two, three, and four indicate when the relays are
active.
5.3PROGRAM MODULE
The program module is a multifunction control. It can
control product consistency or product temperature in
the barrel, mix temperature in the hopper, and indicate
mix level in the hopper. The board can be programmed
to control the functions of various freezers producing
many different products. To properly program the board,
it is necessary to understand the purpose of each
indicator light, switch, potentiometer, jumper, and the
liquid crystal display.
A. Indicator Lights
1.The Power On indicator light, when illuminated
indicates the program module is receiving D.C.
power from the power board.

C. Board Mounted Selectors
There are three diodes which when removed from the
circuit cause changes in the control logic.
1.On/Off timers. This diode is removed from the
circuit for those soft serve freezers without
sensors for barrel or hopper temperature. In the
operating consistency mode, the freezer will
start at the end of the set off time. The freezer
will remain on until brought to consistency . After
the selected number of operating cycles, the
control will operate in idle mode strictly by On/
Off timing. If the diode is not removed from the
circuit, the On/Off timers function only during
the transition from normal operating set point
to idle (STB) temperature set point.
2.Celsius Display Select. Selection for display is
Fahrenheit and when removed from the circuit
is Celsius.
3.Consistency/Temperature Mode Select. A
removable diode is provided to change the
control from basic function of a consistency
control or a temperature control.
D . Calibration Function
The Cycle Mode Switch (SW1) programs the number of
cycles before the freezer enters the idle mode (1-9). The
calibration function is activated by placing the Cycle
Mode Switch in the “0” position. Place the On/Off switch
in the On position. The On Board pushbutton switch
(SW4 SET) is used to advance through the steps. The
following chart indicates the steps in calibrating the
control.

F. Error Conditions
When the rotary switch SW1 is rotated to the Self-Test
position (calibrate “0”), the control will be in the test
mode. All outputs are off. The control will go through a
self-test sequence and then “OK” will come on indicating
the control functions tested are correct. These indicators
will remain on until the rotary switch is turned. Failure of
any function will cause “OK” to remain off and “ERR” to
be displayed. The Push-To-Freeze light will flash the
same number of times as the error code numeral, then
pause and repeat. Any error causing condition must be
corrected, then the power turned off, and back to ON for
reset. Test to include the following:
1.Spigot Switch. The S pigot Switch is a normally
closed held open switch. When the spigot is
opened, the switch will close starting the freezer .
2.Push-To-Freeze Switch and Light. The PushTo-Freeze switch is a normally opened snap
switch. When the switch is depressed, the
switch will close starting the freezer. The red
Push-To-Freeze light will be illuminated
whenever the product is not at consistency . The
red light, when flashing, indicates an error
condition. The green Push-To-Freeze light will
illuminate when the product is ready to serve
and flashes just prior to reaching consistency .

Error codes can be overridden by holding the
clean switch on while power is applied, except for
the clean error. Errors must be corrected to
resume normal operation.
NOTE
Last error code can be read out on display log
pushing SW4 while in run mode.
3.Hold Ready Switch and Light. The Hold Ready
Switch is a normally open momentary switch.
When the switch is depressed, and held for 5
seconds the switch will close placing the freezer
in a continuous ready condition, and the Hold
Ready light will illuminate. T o allow the automatic
idle mode, push the Hold Ready Switch again,
and hold for 5 seconds. Then after the preset
number of consistency cycles, the freezer will
go into the idle mode.
4.Clean Switch and Light. The Clean Switch is a
normally open snap switch. When the Clean
Switch is depressed, only the auger will run and
the red Clean light will illuminate. To stop the
auger, push the Clean Switch again.
NOTE
If the Clean Switch is operated three times within
10 seconds, the Push-To-Freeze Light on the
panel will flash and this function will be disabled
for 10 minutes.
NOTE
If the Clean switch is operated three times within
10 seconds, this will cause the Push-To-Freeze
light to flash and the clean function will be disabled
for 10 minutes. The power switch must remain on
or the 10 minute timer will not time out. A flashing
clean light is not an error. See the T roubleshooting
Section for more error information.
G. Switches/Lights
NOTE
All models do not have the Hold Ready Switch/
Light or the Mix Low Switch/Light.
5.Mix Low Light. The Mix Low Light will illuminate
when the mix level is below the probe. T o cancel
the light, fill the hopper to above the probe.
6.Fine Control Adjuster. When the control is in
the consistency mode, the adjusted has a range
of 1.5 amps from the coarse control setting.
When the control is in the temperature mode,
the adjuster has a range of 4°F from the coarse
control setting.

H. Freezer Operation
1.Consistency Mode. When the Off/On Switch is
placed in the On position, the red Push-ToFreeze light will illuminate and the freezer will
run in the idle mode. When the Push-T o-Freeze
Switch is depressed, the freezer will run until it
reaches consistency, then after the preset On
Time, the green Ready Light will illuminate and
the freezer will stop. When the spigot is opened,
the drive will start immediately and the
compressor 3-4 seconds later. When the spigot
is closed, the freezer will run until it reaches
consistency, then af ter the preset On Time, stop.
and run until the preset barrel temperature is
reached, then after the preset On time, stop.
When the spigot is opened, the drive will start
immediately and the compressor 3-4 seconds
later. When the spigot is closed, the freezer will
run until it reaches temperature, then after the
preset On time, stop.
5.4CONTACTORS
The contactors are mounted in the electrical box
located at the back of the freezer. Remove the back
panel to access. There are three contactors, two to
start the drive motor and one to start the compressor
and condenser fan.
The barrel temperature is monitored. Whenever
the temperature increases above the LKG
temperature, the freezer will start and the
product brought back to consistency. If no
product is dispensed and the Push-To-Freeze
switch is not depressed, the freezer will enter
the idle mode after the preset number of
consistency cycles. When in the idle mode, the
freezer will cycle on the preset On and Off
timers until the stand-by LKG temperature is
reached. Whenever a product is dispensed or
the Push-To-Freeze switch is depressed, the
control will return to the freeze down cycle.
NOTE
The drive will run for 10 seconds every 5 minutes
to circulate product. A normal on cycle will reset
the Five-Minute Timer.
If the Hold Ready Switch is depressed and held
for 5 seconds, the green light will illuminate and
the freezer will not be allowed to enter the idle
mode. It will then remain in the consistency
mode. If the switch is depressed again and held
for 5 seconds, the green Hold light will go off
and the freezer will be allowed to enter the idle
mode after the programmed number of
consistency cycles.
The control modules send electronic signal to trigger the
contactors. The electronic signal tells the relays when to
operate the contactor for the compressor and condenser
fan. A separate signal is used to control the drive motor
contactor. The signal to the contactors are staggered so
the drive motor will always start and stop 2-3 seconds
before the compressor and condenser fan. By staggering
the stopping and starting of the drive motor, maximum
starting torque is available and voltage spikes are
reduced. The contactors are electronically isolated from
the program module. This feature is very important in
case of an electrical short or component failure.
5.5SPIGOT SWITCH
The spigot switch will automatically actuate the auger
drive and refrigeration system when the spigot is opened
to dispense product. When the spigot is closed, the drive
motor and compressor will remain on until the product in
the barrel reaches the proper consistency.
5.6SPIGOT SWITCH REMOVAL
To remove a spigot switch, perform the following
procedures:
2.Temperature Mode. To start the freezer, place
the Off/On switch in the ON position. Push the
P .T.F. switch to start the freezer. When the drive
starts, release the Push-T o-Freeze switch. The

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting can be difficult. The TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX below gives a list of possible problems.To make a repair to a problem, make reference to the cause and correction on the page indicated. ALL REPAIRS
MUST BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
This list of problems, causes and corrections will only give an indication of where a possible problem can be and
what repairs are needed. Normally, more or other repair work is needed beyond the recommendations in the list.
Remember that a problem is not normally caused by only one part, but by the relation of one part with other parts.
This list is only a guide and cannot give all possible problems and corrections. The technician must find the problem
and its source, then make the necessary repairs.
Any problem correction proceeded with an asterisk (*) may require refrigeration system repair. Refrigerant
recovery, refrigeration system repair and handling/disposal of defective refrigeration components shall be in
compliance with Environmental Protection Agency requirements per the provisions of the U.S. Clean Air Act.
In the event the Troubleshooting Guide does not help to correct the service problem, the factory Service Department
should be contacted. Contact:

CAUSECORRECTION
Heavy freezer usage..................................................... There is no correction required if the E.P.R. valve setting is
...................................................................................... correct. Some product freezing to the walls during heavy freezer
...................................................................................... operation is normal.
E.P.R. valve needs adjusting........................................ Make appropriate adjustment. Refer to Refrigeration Section 4,
Unit left in HOLD READY mode.................................... If time permits, turn power OFF, then ON to place freezer into
...................................................................................... standby mode. Barrel meltdown will immediately begin and should
...................................................................................... be complete in approximately 3 hours.
-OR-
...................................................................................... Clean and refill with fresh product.
Freezer nonusage timespan is too short for
complete meltdown ....................................................... Freezer nonusage period is approximately eight (8) hours to
...................................................................................... assure a complete barrel meltdown.
Control idle (standby) ‘STB’ temperature is too
low................................................................................. Raise the idle temperature 3.2°F (refer to control setup procedure
...................................................................................... in subsection 3.2).
Liquid line solenoid valve failed to open ....................... *Replace liquid line solenoid valve coil or entire valve.
Cap tube is partially or completely blocked .................. *Check if E.P.R. valve setting can be achieved during freezing. If
...................................................................................... not, replace the cap tube.
6.2.4 OVERNIGHT BARREL TEMPERATURE IS TOO WARM
CAUSECORRECTION
Control idle (standby) ‘STB’ temperature is
too high ......................................................................... Lower the idle temperature 2° to 4°F (refer to contol setup
...................................................................................... procedure in subsection 3.2).
6.3ELECTRO-MECHANICAL
6.3.1 FREEZER STARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER POWER IS TURNED ON
CAUSECORRECTION
The barrel sensed temperature exceeds the idle
(standby) ‘STB’ temperature plus the ‘LKG STB’
value. ............................................................................ None required. This is proper freezer operation. Freezing will
...................................................................................... continue until the barrel sensed temperature equals the idle
...................................................................................... temperature less the ‘LKG STB’ value. The freezer is in standby
...................................................................................... mode at this time.
6.3.2 FREEZER WILL NOT START AFTER POWER IS TURNED ON
CAUSECORRECTION
Freezer is unplugged .................................................... Plug in freezer.
Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in building ........... Check for blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in building and
...................................................................................... accordingly with fine potentiometer at mid-range (refer to control
...................................................................................... setup procedure in subsection 3.2). If unable to establish desired
...................................................................................... consistency, follow the coarse amperage consistency procedure
...................................................................................... in subsection 3.2.
Spigot switch out of adjustment or defective ................ Adjust or replace spigot switch.
Condenser and/or filter is dirty...................................... Clean condenser and/or filter.
Auger flights and/or springs are worn or missing ......... Replace flights and/or springs.
Hopper mix partially frozen and improperly
thawed .......................................................................... Thaw mix properly per manufacturer’s instructions.
Unit left in HOLD READY mode with low usage
(product breakdown) ..................................................... If time permits, turn power OFF, then ON to place freezer into
...................................................................................... standby mode. Barrel meltdown will immediately begin and should
...................................................................................... be complete in approximately 3 hours.
-OR-
...................................................................................... Clean and refill with fresh product.
Product breakdown ....................................................... Same as above.
Defective liquid line solenoid valve ............................... *Replace coil and/or liquid line solenoid valve.
Freezer refrigerant charge is low .................................. *Refer to Troubleshooting Subsection 6.3.22.
Condenser fan and/or motor is defective...................... Replace fan and/or motor.
Expansion valve is defective or grossly out of
adjustment .................................................................... Replace the expansion valve. Do not adjust the expansion valve.
Refrigeration system problem ....................................... *Refer to Troubleshooting Subsection 6.3.18 through 6.3.22.
6.3.15 FREEZER IS NOISY
CAUSECORRECTION
Legs are loose or freezer is not level............................ Check legs, level top of freezer.
Loose parts or mounting. .............................................. Find and tighten
...................................................................................... accordingly with fine potentiometer at mid-range (refer to control
...................................................................................... setup procedure in subsection 3.2). If unable to establish desired
...................................................................................... consistency, follow the coarse amperage consistency procedure
...................................................................................... in subsection 3.2.
Expansion valve setting is preset for optimum balance of flow to barrel and hopper DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE VALVE SETTING.
*Replace expansion valve.
NOTE
Expansion valve orifice is plugged or valve is
defective........................................................................ Same as above.
Defective liquid line solenoid valve ............................... *Replace coil and/or liquid line solenoid valve.
Freezer refrigerant charge is low .................................. *Refer to Troubleshooting Subsection 6.3.22.
6.3.22 FREEZER REFRIGERANT CHARGE IS LOW
CAUTION
A F ALSE DIAGNOSIS OF A SHORTAGE OF REFRIGERANT CHARGE IS POSSIBLE IN MODEL E131
AND F131 FREEZERS. IF ONL Y ONE SIDE IS OPERA TIONAL, THE INOPERA TIVE SIDE MA Y CONT AIN
A SIGNIFICANT PERCENT AGE OF THE TOT AL SYSTEM CHARGE. THIS CAN ALSO OCCUR IF BOTH
SIDES ARE OPERATIONAL BUT ONE SIDE IS IN IDLE MODE AND THE OTHER IN GREEN LIGHT
MODE. THE SYSTEM SIGHTGLASS DURING OPERA TION OF THE GREEN LIGHT/OPERA TIVE SIDE
MA Y SHOW BUBBLES OR A P ARTIALLY EMPTY CONDITION EVEN THOUGH THE T OTAL SYSTEM
IS PROPERLY CHARGED. THE GREEN LIGHT/OPERATIVE SIDE WILL OPERATE BOTH SIDES OF
THE FREEZER AND IN THE SAME MODE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. FURTHERMORE, TEST STEPS 1
AND 2 BELOW MUST BE CONDUCTED WITH SIMUL TANEOUS OPERA TION OF BOTH SIDES.
CAUSECORRECTION
Leak(s), prolonged use of gauges or frequent
usage of gauges. .......................................................... DO NOT ADJUST THE EXPANSION VALVE!
...................................................................................... STEP 1: Observe sightglass for bubbles during refreeze. If
...................................................................................... sightglass is bubbling or partially empty, freezer refrigerant charge
...................................................................................... is low. (SEE CORRECTION BELOW). If sightglass is clear,
...................................................................................... proceed to Step 2.

Page 62
...................................................................................... STEP 2: Empty barrel and hopper of all product. Rinse hopper
...................................................................................... and barrel with cool water using a sanitized bucket. Refill freezer
...................................................................................... with 35° to 45° mix until hopper is full with mix inlet regulator in
...................................................................................... place. Upon freeze-down, the sightglass should clear within the
...................................................................................... first 60 seconds of operation. If sightglass is bubbling or partially
...................................................................................... empty after 60 seconds, the freezer refrigerant charge is low.
...................................................................................... CORRECTION: *Recover refrigerant. Check and repair leaks.
...................................................................................... Evacuate and recharge per nameplate by weight-ounces.
