fpd4308 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have a pci cl280 chiller. It hasnt been set up in a while but I went to set it up and when I turn it on the temp reading jumps from 80 to 106 then back to 81 then to 94 and so on and so on. Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold B Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 If I were you i'd call PC and ask them they'll lead you in the right direction, besides you'll need to call to get parts from them anyway. Sounds like an easy fix though. As long as the compressor kicks on it's worth fixin IMO. Thanks Harold ps.If you can't get it fihured out I have a CL-650 for sale.

Harold B Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's in the classified section. ($350) Just serviced by PC before storing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Good deal on the 650 but a little much for my allowance. The new development in mine is that I left for my coffee fix and when I returned the chiller was reading a solid 83. My controller said 82.9 so that seems pretty accurate. The compressor was making noise so I am guessing it was working. During the setup I had the chiller setup for 81 which I believe means it won't actually come on until 83. So I lowered the setting to 80 and we will see how it works. It has been a couple years since I used it so it may need a freon recharge. I guess I can just do that at anyplace that services ac/refer units? Well the controller will shut off the halides at 84 so I guess it is just a waiting game.

fpd4308 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 The update is as follows. The chiller is reading temp accurately and steadily the compressor is running but it is not chilling so I am guessing it needs a freon recharge. Any thoughts?

madmike Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Luckily Pacific coast is just down in woodburn, I would call them and see how much for a tune-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold B Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You can adjust the temp on the chiller to match your more accurate one by holding the button in for I think 5 seconds or somthing like that. That will also control when it kicks on. +/- however many degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
