opening  or  room  airflow  from  heaters  or  air  conditioning  ? 

– 

stabilize ambient conditions.  
4/    sensor  miss-located,  damaged  or  wires  may  be  damaged    - 
check mounts for control and Thermostat sensors, then trace wires 
or tubing between sensors and controls. 
5/  calibration sensitivity 

– call Customer Service 

6/ Overtemperature set too low 

– be sure that Thermostat is more 

than 5 degrees over desired set point; check if OVERTEMP pilot is 
on continuously; turn controller knob completely clockwise to see if 
problem  solved  then  fol

low  instructions  in  owner’s  manual  for 

correct setting 

– see section 5.8 

7/  electrical  noise 

–  remove  nearby  sources  of  RFI  including 

motors, arcing relays or radio transmitters. 
8/ bad connection on temperature sensor or faulty sensor 

– check 

connectors  for  continuity  and  mechanical  soundness  while 
watching  display  for  erratic  behavior;  check  sensor  and  wiring  for 
mechanical damage. 
9/ bad connections or faulty relay 

– check connectors for 

mechanical soundness and look for corrosion around terminals or 
signs of arcing or other visible deterioration. 

Display and reference thermometer 
don’t match 

 

 

1/ calibration error 

– see section 5.9 

2/ controller failure 

– evaluate if pilot light is operating correctly 

3/ allow at least two hours to stabilize. 
4/ see if reference thermometer is certified. 

Calibrated at one temperature, but 
not at another 

 

 

Refer to Section 5.9 

REFRIGERATION

 

Temperature can't get up to set point   

 

1/ assure that power is going to heating coils.  
2/ confirm that controller is calling for heat (check front panel light).  
3/ if light not coming on, check control set point and Thermostat 
set  point . 
4/ confirm that fan is operating and airflow is not blocked. 
5/ reset by turning unit off and on.  

Unit won't cool 

 

 

If the compressor is running:  
1/  see if condenser is cold but free of ice.  
2/   be  sure  that  fan  is  circulating  air  in  the  chamber  and  over the 
evaporator.  
3/ confirm proper sensor location and operation.  
4/  look for leaks in the chamber or around the door gasket. 
5/  assure ample room around the unit as described in Installation 
section 2.2  
6/  If  1  through  7  has  been  tried  and  still  not  functioning  correctly, 
call customer service. 
If compressor isn’t running: 
1

/  if too cold inside adjust “cold control” 

located outside on bottom right rear 
2/ check for non-operating relay 
3/ confirm that compressor cooling fan motor is operable. 
4/ check if motor has voltage to it.
