vendingaintforme Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have a Dixie Narco 368 dring machine. I notice ice build up behind the thermostat on or near the coils. Is it running low on coolant or what??? Any suggestions are appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Welcome to the forums! You are probably low on freon and will need to have a certified vending tech come to recharge it. This is a typical symptom when ice begins to form on the right side of a DN evaporator and perhaps then grow across the evaporator from right to left.

Walta Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Before you spend the big money lets cover the ease things. 1 Shut down the refer unit and melt the ice about 5 hours. Do not poke and pry on the ice as you could damage the coil. Then restart the unit cooling. It is possible the door did not get closed properly and that made the coil freeze over. 2 Check that the drain is not clogged. 3 Check that the flap door is present and operating smoothly. 4 Check that the door gasket is sealing and is not damaged. 5 Check that the T handle and nut are working correctly. 6 Clean the condenser coil. 7 Check the condenser fan is working. 8 Check the evaporator fan is working. 9 Make sure the machine is at least 6 inches from the wall. 10 Make sure no soda or anything else is being stored under the delivery chute. There is a good chance the unit has a leak but these things should be checked before the unit gets pulled. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Not having space behind the machine is always going to cause some kind of problems. Never let your machines get pushed all the way against the wall! I have had to warn some customers that I would pull the machine if they didn't stop pushing the machine against the wall.

donut Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Try putting a piece of 2x4 alongside the back of the machine... That way even if it gets pushed back it will still be 3.5 inches away from the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
