Why is there a high pressure drop across my Ingersoll-Rand 1600?
- M
  Marie BlakeAug 22, 2025
  A high pressure drop across the dryer can occur for several reasons: * Ensure that both the inlet and outlet valves are completely open. * Blocked inlet and outlet filters can cause this issue, so change the filter elements. * A stuck compressor relay or contactor can be the problem. Replace the relay or contactor. * A bad Microprocessor Control relay can cause a high pressure drop. Replace the relay. * Inspect the probe and check readings against an independent source (e.g., temperature analyzer/pyrometer/ice bath) both in the exchanger well and to ambient if the probe is not completely in the thermal well.

How to troubleshoot a controller display malfunction on an Ingersoll-Rand Dryer?
- K
  Katherine PetersonAug 25, 2025
  If the controller display appears to be malfunctioning, try the following: * Check the fuses, as a blown fuse can cause this issue. * Inspect the probe cable and terminal connection. Replace the probe if it's loose, off connection, or defective. * Ensure the probe is completely in the thermal well, and check readings against an independent source (e.g. temperature analyzer/pyrometer/ice bath) both in temperature well and to ambient. * Replace the probe if it's defective. * Inspect the transducer cable and terminal connection if the transducer is loose, off connection, or defective. * Replace the transducer.

What to do if the condensate drain does not fire on my Ingersoll-Rand 1600?
- M
  Michael AdamsAug 26, 2025
  If the condensate drain isn't firing, consider the following: * Ensure the installation is in accordance with this manual, and revise the installation accordingly. * If the inlet/outlet pipe internal diameter is too small, causing an air-lock or back pressure, replace it with larger diameter piping. * Reduce the amount of bends and elbows if there is excessive use of them in the inlet/outlet pipe work, which may cause an air-lock or back pressure. * Reconfigure the condensate piping if the outlet pipe is too long or too high, causing back pressure. * Reroute the condensate to eliminate any secondary paths and install check valves as required if more than one condensate source is connected, providing an alternative path for condensate.

Why is there air bleeding from the condensate drain outlet port on my Ingersoll-Rand 1600 Dryer (Optional- No Air Loss Drain)?
- D
  Dana WhiteAug 28, 2025
  If you notice air bleeding from the condensate drain outlet port, it could be due to debris trapped under the seal or damage to the seal. Try pressing and holding the test button to clear any debris (the drain valve will open). If that doesn't work, replace the seal with a Service Kit.

What to do if the condensate drain bowl doesn't fill and the drain doesn't work due to air locking on my Ingersoll-Rand Dryer (Optional-No Air Loss Drain)?
- L

  If the bottom inlet is used, the top port must be used as an air bleed. Connect the top inlet to a higher point in the system, which will function as an air bleed for the drain.

What should I do if my Ingersoll-Rand 1600 displays an unrealistic temperature?
- J
  Jessica RogersSep 2, 2025
  If your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer is showing an unrealistic temperature, start by inspecting the probe cable and terminal connection to ensure they are secure. A loose connection or a defective probe can cause this issue. If the connections are good, the probe itself may be defective and need replacing.

How to fix erratic temperature readings on my Ingersoll-Rand 1600?
- D
  Douglas JonesSep 5, 2025
  To address erratic or inaccurate temperature readings on your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer, begin by inspecting the probe to ensure it is completely in the thermal well. Also, check the readings against an independent source, such as a temperature analyzer, pyrometer, or ice bath, both in the temperature well and ambient. If the probe placement and external readings seem correct, the probe itself may be defective and require replacement.

What causes an unrealistic pressure display on my Ingersoll-Rand Dryer?
- K
  Kelly ObrienSep 7, 2025
  An unrealistic pressure display on your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer can be caused by a transducer issue. Inspect the transducer cable and terminal connection to ensure they are properly connected. If the connections are secure, the transducer itself may be defective and need to be replaced.

What to do if my Ingersoll-Rand Dryer controller display appears to be malfunctioning?
- A
  angelajosephSep 9, 2025
  If the controller display on your Ingersoll-Rand Dryer appears to be malfunctioning, first check the fuses to see if any are blown. If the fuses are intact, contact your local distributor for further assistance, as it may indicate a board failure.
