CONTROL THERMOSTAT

FIG. 14 CONTROL THERMOSTAT
Location:
The control thermostat is located inside hood on
the right side to the left of the iced tea brew timer.
Test Procedures:
1. Disconnect the brewer from the power source.
2. With a voltmeter, check the voltage across the blue
wire on the control thermostat and the white wire
on the tank heater for 120 volt two wire models or
red wire on the tank heater for 120/208 volt three
wire models. Connect the brewer to the power
source. The indication must be 120 volts ac for
two wire 120 volt models and 208 volts ac for
three wire 120/208 volt models.
3. Disconnect the brewer from the power source.
If voltage is present as described, proceed to #4.
If voltage is not present as described, refer to the Wir-
ing Diagrams and check the brewer wiring harness.
4. Locate the black wire on the control thermostat.
5. Gently remove the capillary bulb and grommet
from the tank.
6. With a voltmeter, check the voltage across the
black wire of the control thermostat and the white
wire on the tank heater for 120 volt two wire mod-
els or red wire on the tank heater for 120/208 volt
three wire models when the control thermostat is
turned fully clockwise. Connect the brewer to the
power source. The indication must be 120 volts
ac for two wire 120 volt models and 208 volts ac
for three wire 120/208 volt models.
8. Disconnect the brewer from the power source.
If voltage is present as described, reinstall the capil-
lary tube into the tank to the line 4.5" above the bulb,
the control thermostat is operating properly.
If voltage is not present as described, replace the ther-
mostat.
Removal and Replacement:
1. Remove both wires from the control thermostat
terminals.
2. Remove the thermostat capillary bulb by firmly
pulling up on the capillary tube at the tank lid. This
will disengage the grommet from the tank lid.
3. Remove the #8-32 screw holding the control ther-
mostat to its bracket.

4. Slide the grommet to the line 4.5" above the bulb
on the new capillary tube.
5. Insert the capillary bulb through the hole in the
tank lid and press the grommet firmly and evenly
so that the groove in the grommet fits into the
tank lid.
6. Carefully bend the capillary tube so that the tube
and bulb inside the tank are in a vertical position.
NOTE – The capillary tube must be clear of any elec-
trical termination and not kinked.
7. Fasten the new control thermostat to its bracket.
8. Refer to Fig. 15 when reconnecting the wires.
9. Adjust the control thermostat as required.
