If you have an iced up coil on a freezer with a dixell control Hold set and down button for 3 sec till it flashes HY then press the Down bottom a few times till you see P2, press the set button and it will display the temperature the evap sensor is reading, when the probe has failed (witch they do 9/10 times) it will be displaying a high temp. so for example you may have a -10 evap but the defrost sensor is reading 20 degrees now let’s say you have a 25 degree defrost temp cut out so in this case it will only defrost and heat the coil up 5 degrees until defrost termination in turn icing up your coil. I have had problem hundreds of times with freezers/freezer rooms here in Australia.

First thing I check when I see the coil a block of ice!!

Good video sharing thorough diagnostics on the defrost and controller. I also would like to see the bagging sequence. Thanks dave.

Great repair as usual Dave, I've had mixed results with those Dixell controllers. I'm honestly not a fan for the simple reason that I prefer a mechanical defrost clock that you can watch it move to verify that it is actually keeping time. I've also had the Dixell controllers start doing whatever they want too. Regardless keep the videos coming man, I've enjoyed them for a few years now!!

Good video Dave, I just wish you could have shown us the automatic ice bagger mechanism cause I’ve never seen one of those units before, next time you service it poke your camera inside there for me please?...😁 I like your longer videos like this too where you go a little bit more in depth into your thinking with diagnostics. Thanks!

Great vid Dave. Just went through something like that at my work where they had a reachiin refrigerator that started to warm up. Same item,,,iced coil. So bad, just unplug an let sit for hour an half with door propped open. Big ice block fell off the front of coil and pulled the cover off to get ice out than have a rain shower for two hours later when they get crazy and put product back in. Suspect they keep leaving the door cracked open. Back on and pulled down quickly.

Any other tips for checking compressors on small cap tube systems besides seeing if it can briefly pull down into a vacuum? Getting a compression ratio based on operating pressures? As always thanks for all that you show and share.

Had one where the controller reset itself for hot gas defrost when it should have been electric, second time it did it I put new controller on.
@NorCal-refrigeration6 жыл бұрын
heavydiesel I’ve seen that happen. When I checked the manual defrost it was in EL. I also informed the customer that the controller could be faulty. You ever get rid of those and just go back with a mechanical timer and tstat?
@heavydiesel6 жыл бұрын
I carry about four different types of controller and various sensors on the truck so its usually easiest to put an equivalent one on. Everything here has been digital since I started work in the early 90's so it would probably take a few days for the wholesalers to order in mechanical stats etc and take me ages to figure out how to wire them! haha
@OcRefrig6 жыл бұрын
Out here everything is getting pretty much digital just now. There is a Mix of digital & Mechanical out here still. Starting to see a lot of digital Now.
@apprenticephil6496 жыл бұрын
So it was the thermistor popping out of the evaporator and possibly overfilling the bin that froze the coil? Nice thorough service call there Guru! This video was very educational in term of troubleshooting and diagnosis.

@NorCal-refrigeration6 жыл бұрын
kingofthecrease30 I did the doors and gaskets are good. Either the evap probe piped out, or the controll or they over filled the unit blocking the air flow.

Hi Dave. Great video. At around the 3:31 mark you mention checking terminals 8 and 9 to see if the relay contacts are stuck together. Do you find that they are often stuck, or is that check just part of good problem solving?
@NorCal-refrigeration3 жыл бұрын
I’ve seen the stick together to many times. Due to amp draw from compressor.
