Troubleshooting Cont’d
Problem
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Product too warm
Improper EPR Set Point
If SDC inlet temperature is above 28°F reduce the EPR set
point
Improper Thermostat Bulb
Location
Ensure that the thermostat bulb for the gravity coil (A) is not
contacting any coil parts and is located in the discharge air
stream
Improper TXV Bulb
Location
Ensure that the TX valve bulbs are located as per the piping
diagram. Refer to Pipe Diagram
Improper Deck Plates
(and Pans) Sitting
Ensure that the deck plates (and pans) are seated and
making good contact with the SDC and each other
Gravity Coil Air Flow
Obstruction
Ensure that gravity coil is fully cleared all the time
Defrost Failure To Clear
All SDC Ice Buildup
The SDC will eventually pack with ice and refrigeration
performance will be severely degraded. Confirm Evaporator
Temperature is 28°F, SDC T-Stat SP to specification,
and SDC termination temperature reaching at least 42°F.
Increase the defrost time in 5 minute increments if this
condition is observed, and termination temperature not
achieved.
Improperly sized
refrigerant lines
Ensure that refrigerant lines are properly sized per the
installation manual. Inspect liquid line for kinks, pinched or
excessive u-bends
Solid Column Of Liquid
Refrigerant NOT reaching
the TXV
Inspect liquid line for kinks, pinched or excessive u- bends.
Liquid Refrigerant case
inlet Temperature is
excessive
Ensure that the liquid refrigerant entering temperature is not
excessive. Liquid greater than 110°F at 6” ahead of the TXV
may be an indication of equipment problems
Product Introduction
Temperature Too High
Correct product introduction temperature should be
34°F.-36°F.
Product Is Stacked Too
High
Reduce display height of product. Less than 6” is
recommended
Product is displayed in
containers that impede
the conduction cooling
from the SDC
Use containers with full length, flat bottoms. Refer to
MERCHANDIZING RECOMMENDATIONS (page 29) section
for further information.
Incorrect replacement
lighting is adding too
much heat
Use only Hussmann genuine replacement parts or equivalent.
Case temperature is
too warm.
Ambient conditions may
be affecting the case
operation.
Check case position in store. Is the case located near an
open door, window, electric fan or air conditioning vent that
may cause air currents? Case must be located minimum
15 Ft away from doors or windows. Cases are designed to
operate at or below 75°F Dry bulb and 55% relative humidity.
Discharge air temp is out
of spec.
Check suction pressure and insure that it meets factory
specifications.
Case is in defrost.
Check defrost settings. See Technical Specifications section.
Product load may be over
its limits blocking airflow.
Redistribute product so it does not exceed load level.
