Troubleshooting - Extended

SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES

The technically advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls utilized on the 3000 series units allows for easy and thorough trouble shooting.

Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions, a service mode menu and service menu selection explanations.

Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing actual temperature readings in the service mode.

Component failure issues can be identified through service mode menu selection, "Relay Toggle" Individual components can be switched on and off to check for both proper function of a specific component and also delivery of supply voltage to the components through the relays and DC outputs located on the relay/power board.

Included in this section is some diagnostic tips and as always, if additional help is required please contact the U-Line Corp, "Customer Care Facility" at +1.800.779.2547 for assistance.

MAIN CONTROL

The main control board is very robust and is rarely the cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose the board for any suspected failures before attempting to remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main control.

Power Fault

If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not simply set to sabbath mode.

    B -->|No Voltage| F["Replace Power Cord"]
    C -->|No Continuity| G["Replace Fuse"]

Testing The Main Control

If the main control is suspected of being faulty, the following procedure should be performed to verify main control for functionality.

Relay & DC Outputs

One of the primary functions of the main control is to operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the following procedure.

  1. Enter "Relay Toggle" through the service menu.

NOTICE

Frequently toggling the compressor relay could force the compressor into overload. The compressor will automatically deactivate during an overload and will remain deactivated until the overload switch cools. This could take some time. It is important to allow the compressor at least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.

  1. Toggle the relay. Its related component should activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If it does not, see "Component Testing."

Innuite

SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE

Other Suspected Main Control Faults

If other components have been ruled out as being faulty but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most likely due to a configuration error. Configuration errors can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory default setting. Factory defaults may be restored through the service menu.

NOTE: If the unit is set to sabbath mode the evaporator fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently the evaporator fan blade and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust buildup.

CAUTION

Precautions must be taken while working with live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures while performing tests on live systems.

CONVECTION COOLING

All 3000 series units are equipped with an advanced convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases energy efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back into the refrigerated zone.

THERMISTORS

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter. In an ice water bath (32°F) resistance should measure 16.1 kilohms.

5K OHMS @ 77°

16.1K OHMS - 32°F ambient

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Limp Mode Data Table

If the zone thermistor falls, the unit will continue to operate in a timed limp mode which varies by model. The unit will otherwise operate normally. The error will be displayed in the error log.

REED SWITCH

A reed switch is used to monitor door state. When the door is closed magnetic force pulls the reed to its contact and closes the circuit which turns the light and display off. When the door is open the reed pulls away from the contact and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes, the switch will trigger an error code and set an audible warning.

All thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.1k OHMs +/-5% on your meter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor near information can be found in the Control

Thermistor three (Zone):

Located along the right hand side wall in the bottom/right compartment. It is used to maintain the operating temperature within that zone.

Thermistor four (Evaporator):

Located on the evaporator in the bottom/right compartment. It is used for defrost.

Thermistor five (Ambient):

Located in the base of the unit (secured to the condenser). It is used to monitor the ambient temperature within the base compartment. It is used for diagnostics.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistors

If a zone thermistor(s) in the unit falls the unit will continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit will otherwise operate normally.

2000 Series Self Preservation Mode: The unit will cycle on for 10 minutes then off for 40 minutes.

3000 Series Self Preservation Mode:

CONVECTION COOLING

This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases energy efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2 minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can be modified through the service menu.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate air and clear any condensation that may have appeared on glass doors and shelves.

  1. Disconnect power to the unit.

  2. Remove rear center cover from unit.
