Beverage-Air commercial refrigeration units do not use a single, universal thermostat; instead, they employ various temperature control thermostats and electronic control panels depending on the specific model (refrigerator, freezer, warming cabinet, etc.)
What Causes A Faulty thermostat?
Stuck closed: The thermostat remains on, constantly sending power to the compressor.
Stuck open: The thermostat is always off, preventing the compressor from starting.
Inaccurate readings: The thermostat fails to accurately sense the internal temperature, leading to incorrect cycling.
General Thermostat and Temperature Control Information
- Standard Refrigerators: Most standard models are factory-set to maintain a product temperature between 36°F and 40°F (2°C to 4°C).
- Freezers: Standard freezer settings are typically around 0°F (-18°C).
- Warming Cabinets: These units maintain temperatures between 80°F and 180°F (26°C to 82°C).
- Frosty Brew Models: These are designed to keep temperatures between 30°F and 32°F (-1°C and 0°C).
Replacement Information
Turn off the power: Always disconnect power to the unit (unplug it or turn off the breaker) before starting any work.
