1. POOR CARBONATION
• Make sure faucet and nozzle are clean.
• Temperature of the soda water in cup affects the amount
of carbonation retained in water. If drink is above 40
degrees F. only 92% is retained. When taking drink
temperature, always dispense at least 16 ounces of
product to get a true reading.
• Flooded carbonator caused by water being supplied at a
higher pressure than the CO2 pressure. Check pressure
regulator system. Make sure it is at least 35 P.S.I. lower
than CO2 pressure. The CO2 pressure should be 100
P.S.I.G.
• Any substance with an oil base will knock out carbona-
tion. Make sure no pipe dope or compound is on any
fitting. Always use teflon tape.
• Ice that is super cold will cause foaming problems and
a loss of carbonation. Bring ice to melt temperature (28
degrees) before using.
2. BAD TASTE IN BEVERAGE
• Pipe compound or pipe dope can impart a taste to the
water. Remove piping and clean joints. Replace piping
using only teflon tape.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas is odorless, colorless, and
tasteless. If CO2 gas contains any oil or sludge from fill-
ing tanks, a bad taste could result.
• Soda water reacts to brass or copper and becomes toxic.
Remove any brass or copper object coming in contact
with soda water. Replace with polyethylene or stainless
steel.
3. NOISY CARBONATOR PUMP
• Check to see that filter and/or strainer are not clogged,
and water valve to unit is wires from switch. With
switch in “ON” fully opened.
• Incoming water supply to unit should be 3/8” I.D.
minimums.
• Be sure pump and pump motor are properly aligned and
the clamp is tight.
• Broken vanes in pump requiring pump replacement.
4. NOISY RECIRCULATING PUMP
• Check for restrictions in recirculating lines.
• Be sure pump and pump motor are properly aligned and
clamp is tight.
• Broken vanes in pump requiring pump replacement.
5. COMPRESSOR WILL NOT RUN
• Verify that switch is in “ON” position.
• Check all wire junctions and tighten any loose connections.
• Replace ice-bank control.
6. COMPRESSOR RUNS BUT STOPS
• Air-cooled: Clean condenser
• Water-cooled: Verify adequate water supply.
7. COMPRESSOR RUNS-WILL NOT COOL
• Check for refrigerant leaks
• Replace condenser.
8. CARBONATOR PUMP MOTOR WILL
NOT RUN
• Check fuse and supply switch. Make sure switch is on.
• Check switch on beverage system by disconnecting power
supply. Remove 2 wires from switch. With switch in
“ON”
• Remove 2 wires from switch. With switch in “ON” position,
connect continuity tester to both terminals of switch. If no
continuity, replace switch.
• Check circulating pump to be sure it turns freely by hand.
If not, replace it.
• With pump removed and proper voltage supplied to the
motor and it fails to run, it is defective and must be
replaced.
9. PUMP LEAKING WATER
• Check for worn seal. If so, replace pump
• Pump must be insulated properly to prevent condensation.
10. WARM BEVERAGE
• Check for defective circulating pump. If so, replace it.
• Check water bath temperature (30º +/-2) and level.
• Clean condensor coil at air intake.
11. WATER IN BATH FREEZING COMPLETELY
• Ice-bank control defective and must is be replaced.
12. NOISE IN WATER BATH
• Water level in bath low. Refill to proper level.
