If the valve on your Lancer Dispenser will not shut off, the cup lever may be sticking or binding, which needs to be corrected or replaced. Another potential cause is a switch that is not actuating freely, so check the switch for free actuation. Finally, the solenoid armature may not be returning to the bottom position, requiring replacement of the defective armature or spring.
What to do if no product is dispensed from my Lancer Dispenser?
If no product is being dispensed from your Lancer Dispenser, ensure that the water and syrup shutoffs on the mounting block are fully open. For electric valves, check that the key switch is in the ON position and that the cup lever arm or ID panel actuator is properly actuating the switch. Also, verify that electric current is reaching the valve and check the solenoid coil and switch, replacing if necessary. Finally, check for adequate water or syrup supply by removing the valve from the mounting block and slightly opening the shutoffs to check the flow. If there is no flow, inspect the dispenser for freeze-up or other supply problems.
Why is my Lancer Dispenser dispensing warm drinks?
If your Lancer Dispenser is dispensing warm drinks, several factors could be the cause. Check for restricted airflow around the unit and remove any obstructions. Ensure the dispenser is connected to a cold water supply, not a hot one. Other potential causes include a refrigeration system malfunction, refrigerant leak, a non-functioning condenser fan motor, or a dirty condenser. If the dispenser's capacity is being exceeded, consider adding a pre-chiller.
How to fix insufficient water flow in my lancer 500 Dispenser?
If you're experiencing insufficient water flow from your Lancer Dispenser, first verify that the incoming supply water pressure is a minimum of 35 PSI (2.4 bar). Make sure the shutoff on the mounting block is fully open. Also, check for any foreign debris in the water flow control; remove the water flow control from the upper body and clean out any foreign material to ensure smooth, free spool movement.
How to resolve insufficient syrup flow in my lancer 500?
To address insufficient syrup flow in your Lancer Dispenser, start by adjusting the CO2 pressure to 80 PSI (5.5 bar), with a minimum of 70 PSI (4.8 bar), for the BIB pumps. Next, ensure the shutoff on the mounting block is fully open. Finally, inspect the syrup flow control for any foreign debris; remove the syrup flow control from the upper body and clean out any foreign material to ensure smooth, free spool movement.
Why does the compressor on my lancer 500 shut off on overload?
If the compressor in your Lancer Dispenser starts and runs briefly before shutting off on overload, the following could be the cause: * Dirty condenser: Clean the condenser. * Insufficient or blocked air flow: Remove obstructions and ensure minimum clearances of 15 inches (380 mm) over the top. * Inadequate voltage: Measure voltage across the common and run terminal on the compressor, ensuring it doesn't drop below 90% of the rated voltage. * Incorrect wiring: Refer to the wiring diagram and correct any errors. * Defective condenser fan motor: Replace the condenser fan motor. * Refrigerant leak: Repair and recharge the system. * Compressor malfunction: Replace the compressor.
Why won't the compressor and fan start on my Lancer EIBC USA Dispenser?
If the compressor and condenser fan motor will not start after a five-minute power-off delay on your Lancer EIBC (USA Only) dispenser, check the Power Indicator Lamp and the wiring according to the Wiring Diagram to ensure proper wiring. Also, check the probe connection at the PCB to ensure it's plugged in. Damaged electronics could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the Control.
How to fix water leakage around the nozzle on a lancer 500 Dispenser?
Water leakage around the nozzle of your Lancer Dispenser is likely due to a damaged or improperly installed o-ring above the diffuser. If the o-ring is damaged, replace it. If it's improperly installed, adjust its position.
Why does the compressor on my lancer 500 start but then stops quickly?
If the compressor in your Lancer Dispenser starts but does not switch off the start winding (running for only a few seconds before the internal overload switches it off), check for inadequate voltage by measuring the voltage across the common and run terminal on the compressor. Also, incorrect wiring could be the cause; refer to the wiring diagram and correct it. A malfunctioning starting relay may also be the issue, requiring replacement with the correct relay.
Why does the compressor in my lancer 500 Dispenser run continuously and freeze up?
If the compressor in your Lancer Dispenser starts and runs continuously until it freezes up and will not cut off, this may be due to ice bank control failure, which requires replacement. Check the wiring against the wiring diagram and correct any discrepancies. A shorted probe could also be the cause; inspect the probe for foreign material or damage.
