Service Manual #513659 13 Model F231

3.11 MIX INFORMATION

Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Differences in the amount of butterfat content and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct bearing on the ﬁ nished frozen product. A change in machine performance that cannot be explained by a technical problem may be related to the mix.

Proper product serving temperature varies from one manufacturer’s mix to another. Mixes should provide a satisfactory product in the 20°F to 24°F range. Diet and low-carb mixes typically freeze to proper consistency at higher temperatures.

When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in the frozen product to get an accurate reading.

Old mix, or mix that has been stored at too high a temperature, can result in a ﬁ nished product that is unsatisfactory. To retard bacteria growth in dairy based mixes, the best storage temperature range is between 33° to 38°F (0.5° to 3.3° C).

4.10 CONDENSER CLEANING (AIR-COOLED

MACHINES)

The F231 has an air-cooled or water-cooled condenser.

The air-cooled condenser is a copper tube and aluminum ﬁ n type. Condensing is totally dependent upon airﬂ ow. A plugged condenser, or restrictions in the louvered panel will restrict airﬂ ow. This will lower the capacity of the system and damage the compressor. The condenser must be kept clean of dirt and grease. The machine must have a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) of ventilation on the sides of the unit for free ﬂ ow of air. Make sure the machine is not pulling over 100° F (37° C) air from other equipment in the area.

The water-cooled condenser is a tube and shell type. The condenser needs a cool, clean supply of water to properly cool the machine, inlet and discharge lines must be 3/8” I.D. minimum.

The air-cooled condenser requires periodic cleaning. To clean, refer to the following procedures.

A. Visually inspect the condenser for dirt.

B. If the condenser is dirty, place a wet towel over

the condenser.

C. Using compressed air or CO2 tank, blow out the

dirt from the back of the condenser. Most of the dirt will cling to the wet towel.

D. An alternative method is to clean with a condenser

brush and vacuum.

NOTE

If the condenser is not kept clean, refrigeration efﬁ ciency will be lost.

4.11 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that a preventative maintenance schedule be followed to keep the machine clean and operating properly. The following steps are suggested as a preventative maintenance guide.

The United States department of agriculture and the food and drug administration require that lubricants used in food zones be certiﬁ ed for this use. Use lubricants only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

A. Daily checks

Check for any unusual noise or condition and

repair immediately.

B. Monthly checks

Check the condenser for dirt and clean if

necessary.

C. Quarterly Checks

Check drive belts for wear and tighten belts if

necessary.

4.12 EXTENDED STORAGE

Refer to the following steps for storage of the machine over any long period of shutdown time:

A. Clean all the parts that come in contact with mix

thoroughly with a warm detergent water. Rinse in clear water and dry all parts. Do not sanitize.

NOTE

Do not let cleaning solution stand in the freezing cylinder or hopper during the shutdown period.

B. Remove, disassemble, and clean the front door,

and auger shaft. Leave disassembled during the shutdown period.

C. Place the auger ﬂ ights and auger support bushing

in a plastic bag with a moist paper towel. This will prevent them from becoming brittle if exposed to dry air over an extended period of time (over 30 days).

5.7 SOLENOID

Solenoid valves are installed on the liquid and suction lines of each freezing cylinder evaporator and on the liquid line of the hopper evaporators (Refer to Figure 5-11 and Figure 5-12). A solenoid valve has a magnetic coil that, when energized, lifts a plunger and allows refrigerant to ﬂ ow. The solenoids are activated by the IntelliTec2™ control and determine which evaporator receives refrigeration.

The suction line solenoid prevents refrigerant ﬂ ow in the evaporator when the suction pressure drops due to the operation of the other evaporators in the system.

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

NOTE

The wiring diagram is available in Section 8.

6.1 INTELLITEC2™ CONTROL

The IntelliTec2™ control consists of three main components; a control board, a display board and a membrane switch (touchpad).

The control board is modular and consists of a program board and a relay board. The two boards make it easy to service and replace. The boards are connected by two screws.

6.2 CONTACTORS

The F231 has a total of three contactors. One for the compressor and one for each drive motor. The contactors are located in the electrical box behind the right side panel.

The IntelliTec2™ control sends electronic signals to trigger the contactors. Separate signals are used to control each drive motor contactor and the compressor contactor. The signals to the contactors are staggered, so the drive motor will always start three seconds before the compressor. By staggering the starting and stopping of the drive motor, maximum starting torque is available and voltage spikes are reduced.

A. CONTACTOR TESTS

The following tests will show if a contactor is working properly.

Figure 6-2 Display Board

1. Listen for the contactor to close. When the spigot is opened or the Push To Freeze button is pressed, the drive motor contactor will close. After three seconds, the compressor contactor will close.

2. Check to ensure contactor is receiving signal. Read voltage across the coils of the contactor during a freezing cycle. Voltage should be about 230V. If there is no voltage reading, refer to Section 7 Troubleshooting.

Service Manual #513659 40 Model F231

6.8 TEMPERATURE CONTROL SENSOR

The temperature control sensor is a thermistor used to sense the temperature of the suction line. As the suction line temperature increases, the internal resistance of the thermistor will decrease. Refer to Figure 6-7 for the relationship between sensor resistance and temperature. The IntelliTec control board monitors this value. In “Serve Mode”, when the temperature of the sensor equals the Cut In T value on the control, a freezing cycle will start.

When troubleshooting a sensor, refer to the wiring diagram and remove the wires from the control board. Measure the resistance of the sensor and compare it with the table below. If the resistance is not within this range, replace it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1 ERROR CODES

When the machine experiences a problem, one of the following error codes will be displayed on the control panel. Each error code directs you to the system location of the malfunction.

ERROR CODE MALFUNCTION

2 High Torque

3 Run Time

4 Clean

5 Freezing Cylinder Sensor

6 Hopper Sensor (single hopper machines)

7 Drive Motor

8 Cab Sensor

9 High Pressure Cutout

10 Ambient Sensor

11 Prime (cab units only)

12 Left Storage Sensor

13 Right Storage Sensor

To return the machine to normal operation, any error causing condition must be corrected and the freezing cylinder must be turned off and on again using the On/Off Left or On/Off Right button.

7.2 TROUBLESHOOTING

ERROR CODE 2 - HIGH TORQUE

If the control panel displays a High Torque Error

(E2), the drive motor is running at a high load for 10 or more seconds. Very low and/or ﬂ uctuating supply voltages typically cause this error. The error can also be caused by faulty motor or starting components which could produce a high amp draw.

ERROR CODE 3 - RUN TIME

The Run Time Error (E3) occurs when the

compressor runs continuously for an extended period. This error could happen if the cutout parameter is not attained. This error is generally caused by very low mix levels in the hopper or from product breakdown. Another common cause results from a restriction preventing mix from entering the freezing cylinder. Check the mix on the affected freezing cylinder. If the level mix is low, add mix. If there is a possibility that the mix is broken down, clean and sanitize the machine and replace the mix with fresh product.

Ice crystals in the hopper can clog the mix

inlet regulator and prevent mix from entering the freezing cylinder. Thoroughly thaw mix per manufacturer's recommendations. To check for ice crystals, pour a small amount of product from the hopper through a clean and sanitized sieve or strainer. If ice crystals are in the mix, check the temperature of the walk-in cooler where the mix is stored or the temperature of the machine’s hopper. If the hopper is below 34°F (1°C), adjust the temperature by raising the Storage Cutout value in the Storage Settings menu.

The Run Time Error may also occur if airﬂ ow within

the machine has reduced or stopped. Check the sides and top of the machine for anything that would restrict airﬂ ow. Check the condenser ﬁ lter and clean if necessary. Check the evaporator for frost that could restrict airﬂ ow.

The compressor will run continuously if a solenoid

valve fails to open. This could be due to loose wiring, magnetic coil failure, a stuck valve or a faulty control board.

After the cause of the problem is found and

remedied press the On/Off button for the cylinder to turn it off then back on.

ERROR CODE 4 - CLEAN

If the machine is left in the Clean Mode for more

than 20 minutes, the control panel will display a Clean Error (E4). This condition does not reﬂ ect a problem with the machine itself. The Clean Error has been programmed into the controller as a safeguard to protect the machine from potential damage caused by the machine being accidentally left in "Clean Mode". To clear the Clean Error, press the On/Off button for the cylinder to turn it off then back on.

Service Manual #513659 43 Model F231

ERROR CODE 5 - FREEZING CYLINDER SENSOR

The Freezing Cylinder Sensor Error (E5) indicates

a failure of the barrel sensor or if the sensor is out of range. If the control panel displays an E5, press the On/Off button for the cylinder to turn it off then back on. If the control panel still displays the error code, refer to the machine's wiring diagram and the Temperature Sensor Chart (Figure 7-1). Check each lead of the sensor to ground for continuity. If continuity is found, replace the sensor. To check the resistance of the sensor, place a thermocouple on the suction line at the exit of the freezing cylinder. Compare temperature and sensor resistance with the table as reference. If measured value does not coincide with a value on the table (± 500 ohms), replace the sensor.

NOTE

When the machine encounters a Freezing Cylinder Sensor Error, the machine will continue to run using preset timers. This mode will allow the operator to continue serving product until the machine can be serviced.

ERROR CODE 13 - RIGHT HOPPER SENSOR

The Right Hopper Sensor Error (E13) indicates

a failure of the hopper sensor or if the sensor is out of range. If the control panel displays an E13, press the On/Off button for the cylinder to turn it off then back on. If the control panel still displays the error condition code, refer to the machine's wiring diagram and the Temperature Sensor Chart (Figure 4-1). Check each lead of the sensor to ground for continuity. If continuity is found, replace the sensor. To check the resistance of the sensor, place a thermocouple on the suction line at the exit of the freezing cylinder. Compare temperature and sensor resistance with the table as reference. If measured value does not coincide with a value on the table (± 400 ohms), replace the sensor.

ERROR CODE 14 - NO CURRENT

The No Current Error (E14) occurs during the

refrigeration cycle. The control monitors amperage of the drive motor. If the amperage reading is too low, the control will attempt to restart the contactor and an the error gets logged. There will not be any interruption to normal operation and there will not be any notiﬁ cation of this error. If the error does not clear after 3 attempts, a Drive Motor Error (E7) will occur.

ERROR CODE 15 - LOW TORQUE

The Low Torque Error (E15) occurs during

the freezing cycle. If the product is above the Consistency CutIn and doesn't reach the Consistency CutOut in 20 minutes then the Low Torque Error will be logged for future analysis. The Low Torque error is a soft error. There will not be any interruption to normal operation and there will not be any notiﬁ cation of this error.

ERROR CODE 21 - SPIGOT OPEN TIME

The Spigot Open Time Error (E21) indicates a

failure of the spigot switch. If the control senses the spigot is open continuously for 10 minutes, the machine will go into Sleep 3 mode. If the control panel displays an E21, test the spigot switch then press the On/Off button for the cylinder to turn if off then back on.
