Thermostat / Controller Failure

Likely causes

Setpoint higher than cabinet temperature (no demand)

Check: Confirm setpoint is lower than current cabinet temperature

What to do: Confirm setpoint is lower than current cabinet temperature → Measure output voltage at control terminal → Verify sensor bulb is correctly positioned → Bridge control terminals; if compressor starts, thermostat is faulty → Replace with same specification thermostat

Sensor bulb damaged or sensing tube gas leak

Check: Measure output voltage at control terminal

What to do: Measure output voltage at control terminal → Verify sensor bulb is correctly positioned → Bridge control terminals; if compressor starts, thermostat is faulty → Replace with same specification thermostat

Internal contact failure

Check: Verify sensor bulb is correctly positioned

What to do: Verify sensor bulb is correctly positioned → Bridge control terminals; if compressor starts, thermostat is faulty → Replace with same specification thermostat

Field tip

Thermostat is not outputting a start signal. Check temperature settings, then replace if confirmed faulty.
