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

PLUNGER SWITCH

A plunger switch is used to monitor door state. When the door is closed it comes into contact with the plunger which closes a circuit which turns the light and display off. When the door is open the plunger moves outward 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.

USER GUIDE

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.

Both 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 error information can be found in the Control Operations - Service section.

This unit has one thermistor.

USER GUIDE

Remove Fan and Cover

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.

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

1. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-through hole as needed to gain clearance for fan plug.

2. Remove internal shelving.

3. Remove rear shelf clips, fronts can remain.

4. Remove thermistor cover.

5. Remove two evaporator cover screws from top of evaporator plate.

Evaporator Cover Screws

1. Grasp evaporator cover, pull forward and up as bottom of cover is installed behind the front edge of the drain trough.

2. While pulling the evaporator cover clear of the unit, it may be necessary to use your free hand to manipulate the fan plug and through the pass-through hole.

USER GUIDE

1. Remove and replace fan. Take special care to properly route fan wire.

NOTICE

Fan must be oriented to pull air in through lower evaporator cover vents and push air out at fan mounting location.
