Reset probe placement. c. Very small product (potsticker). Use chill by time. d. Product held too long at room temp prior to chilling. Verify actual product temp with thermometer (probed piece). PROBLEM: Previously observed/expected high product temps differ from those shown on cycle data printout. a. See above for possible causes. b. Bad food probe. Replace probe. c. Batch started incorrectly. Start chill cycle according to owner s manual instructions. d. Moisture damage to the control. Replace control. PROBLEM: Occasional defrost sensor warning. Coil did not defrost to target temp, usually the result of too much ice build-up from either: a. A very long chill cycle/large product load. b. Starting a new cycle close to when the chiller would need to automatically defrost. c. Product releasing a lot of moisture during chilling. d. A combination of 2 or more of the above. PROBLEM: No data available for printing or later than actual start time or start temperature data appears on cycle/data printouts for a given probe. a. Product (probe) added to active chill cycle incorrectly (i.e. failure to press ADD/REMOVE and/or CONTINUE). PROBLEM: Product freezing. a. Chilled product not removed and additional product added. Remove when DONE. b. Chill cycle By Time set for too long. Reduce chill time. c. High water content product (ex. soup). Use SOFTCHILL.
4 General Troubleshooting (cont d.) PROBLEM: Incorrect date/time shown on display and/or printouts. a. Incorrect time and/or date setting. Correct date and/or time settings. b. Control issue. Replace control. PROBLEM: Defrost appears to have occured before chill cycle completion. Defrost will not occur until all food probes have reached target temp (DONE). a. Chiller completed chill cycle for all probes. Retrieve cycle data after defrost. PROBLEM: Chiller will not print or display reads MEDIA ERROR. a. Check to insure paper is properly loaded, remove any paper jam. b. If upon completing above the control continues to display MEDIA ERROR, cycle power OFF, then ON again (req d for control versions prior to 2.0). c. Printer requires replacement.
