chiller fixing (1 Viewer)

[Raymond]

Anyone know where or how to fix chillers?

 

[AquaNerd]

a/c repair shop could do it.

What seem to be the problem?

I am licensed to repair them....

 

[brwnwatersurfer]

I've made them and fix them what's wrong with it? What size?

 

[Raymond]

its a 1/4 hp from jbj. I came home one day and the digital front and the chiller wasnt working. It may be the fuse. I will check later tonight to see whats the deal.

=Sounds like a circuit board failure. It can be fixed...

 

[Raymond]

how much it will cost to get it fix?

 

[doubletap4311]

Need to confirm exactly what is wrong with it first. Then I can get you a price. I will look at it for free.

how much it will cost to get it fix?

Would you me if I quote you $200 and your loki..

Would you be willing to look at mine also? I have a 1/2 hp chiller that will turn on, but then shuts off after about 10 min. I believe its hitting the thermal protector because its low on freon, but I dont have gauges or a way to fill it with the proper freon. The water coming out never feels like its being chilled.

Thanks

Sure will. I sent you a PM. Just fixed one tonight for a member....

ok i found out that my fuse busted, but i cannot find the fuse anywhere. Do any of you guys have a 12.5A 250 volts fuse?

 

[doubletap4311]

I have several. u can get them at a hardware store. if it blew it is because of a short or over amping

I'm not sure mine is running efficiently or not but I have a Pacific Coast Imports 1/4 hp and everytime it kicks on, it runs for 15-20 minutes. Is this typical for a chiller to run that long? If not, what should I check for?

Btw it's a 120 gallon

 

[doubletap4311]

seems a bit long for a 1/4hp on a 120 gallon tank...

 

[bcallahan]

bolo - depends on a lot of things. Ambient temp in room where chiller is, set points (how much are you dropping the temp each time it kicks on? how often is it coming on?), flow through chiller (too slow or too fast of flow can mean the chiller needs to stay on longer to reach your set point), etc, etc.

Basically, w/o knowing a lot more things it's hard to say whether your chiller needs fixing.

For reference, I have a 140 gal with a 1/4 horsepower chiller (Arctica) that stays on for 30 minutes when it comes on to drop my temp.

Just want to say thanks to William for taking the time to fix my chiller today

I havent had a chance to pull it out of the car yet, but Ill let you know how everything goes hooking it all back up.

Thanks again!
