  • Page 17 TROUBLESHOOTING The unit doesn’t freeze down each bowl while Bowl and machine is very hot? Check ventilation and clearance When One of bowl doesn’t freeze down or get cooled? Compressor is getting hot. 1. Solenoid valve check Solenoid valves(circled in yellow) begin supplying refrigerants after three minutes passed since switch-ON.

  • Page 23 TROUBLESHOOTING In below pictures, geared motor and micro switch are in red circles. If the micro switch’s contact is not good, Swap the micro switch from another cylinder. If freezing works, it is problem of the micro switch. Replace the micro switch with a new one. As a temporary solution, you can bend micro switch a little bit to make it contact to geared motor.
