Troubleshooting
Cabinet
The following ‘Troubleshooting’ guide should be used as a supplement to standard refrigeration
fault finding principles.
Complaint
Possible Cause
Repair
1. Cabinet warm,
product warm,
possible ‘HI’ alarm
activation
• External drafts, possibly from air-
conditioning, door ways or ventilation
fans. External drafts must be less than 0.2
m/s. Note: 0.2 m/s is not noticable by
touch. Generally, any noticable draft is too
much. Some drafts may be intermittent,
such as when air-conditioning cycles on
and off.
• Confirm visually any potential
airflow draft outlets. It may be
necessary to redirect ventilation
fans or relocate the cabinet.
• Cabinet loaded with very little stock or
unusual shelf position.
• Controller setpoint may require
change. Note: that an unloaded
cabinet generally operates warmer.
• Blocked or restricted condenser coil.
• Clean condenser coil (see page 57).
• Visually check condenser for
possible restriction. Remove
condensate tray and clean. If bad,
refrigeration unit removal may be
necessary.
2. Cabinet not
operating
• Loss of power supply.
• Check mains power supply and
cabinet isolation switch.
3. Compressor not
operating
- controller displays
‘HI’ alarm
• Faulty component.
• Repair or replace control.
• Blocked or restricted condenser coil.
• Clean condenser coil (see page 57).
• Visually check condenser for
possible restriction. Remove
condensate tray and clean. If bad,
refrigeration unit removal may be
necessary.
4. Cabinet lights not
operating
• Blown fuse.
• Replace blown fuse.
• Faulty night blind light switch.
• Check switch.
• Loose electrical connections.
• Check all light connections.
• ENSTO plug not plugged into controller
box socket.
• Check plug.
• Controller alarm
• Determine cause and eliminate (see
• Failed light power supply
• Replace light power supply.
5. Unit defrosting
excessively
• Unit will demand defrost regularly if the
evaporator temperature is over cold due
to being short of refrigerant or starved
evaporator.
• Check evaporator refrigerant flow
and make suitable repairs.
6. Product warm
- no alarm
• Blocked or restricted honeycomb air grille. • Remove and clean, or replace
honeycomb.
• One evaporator fan not operating or
incorrect rotation.
• Check power supply plug is fully
engaged into motor. Repair or
replace evaporator fan motor.
• Unit defrosting excessively.
• See number 5 above.
• Restricted return air grille.
• Remove restriction.
