Why is my lancer 1500 POSTMIX Dispenser dispensing only water or only syrup?
If your Lancer Dispenser is dispensing only water or only syrup, the most likely cause is: * The water or syrup shutoff on the mounting block is not fully open. Open the shutoff fully.
How to fix warm drinks from lancer 1500 POSTMIX?
If your Lancer Dispenser is dispensing warm drinks, consider the following: * Check for restricted airflow around the sides, top, and inlet of the unit. Remove any obstructions blocking airflow through the grill. * Ensure the dispenser is connected to a cold water supply, not a hot water supply. * There may be a refrigerant leak. In that case you should repair and recharge the system. * The condenser fan motor may not be working, consider replacing it. * The condenser might be dirty, so clean it. * You may have exceeded the dispenser's capacity, in that case add a pre-cooler.
What to do if there is insufficient syrup flow in my Lancer Dispenser?
If you're experiencing insufficient syrup flow in your Lancer Dispenser, check these potential causes: * Insufficient CO2 pressure to the BIB pumps. Adjust the CO2 pressure to 80 PSI (minimum 70 PSI) for BIB pumps. * The shutoff on the mounting block is not fully open. Open it fully. * Foreign debris in the syrup flow control. Remove the syrup flow control from the upper body and clean out any foreign material to ensure smooth free spool movement.
How to reduce excessive foaming in my Lancer Dispenser?
To address excessive foaming in your Lancer Dispenser, consider these factors: * Incoming water or syrup temperature may be too high. Correct this prior to the dispenser, and consider a larger dispenser or pre-cooler. * Water flow rate may be too high. Readjust and reset the ratio. * The nozzle and diffuser may not be properly installed. Remove and reinstall them correctly. * The nozzle and diffuser may be dirty. Remove and clean them. * There may be air in the BIB lines. Bleed the air from the BIB lines. * The ice quality may be poor. Check the quality of the ice used in the drink. * The beverage temperature may be high. Check the refrigeration system.
Why is the ratio erratic in my Lancer Dispenser?
An erratic ratio in your Lancer Dispenser can be caused by: * Incoming water and/or syrup supply not at minimum flowing pressure. Check the pressure and adjust. * Foreign debris in water and/or syrup flow controls. Remove the syrup flow controls from the upper body and remove any foreign material to ensure smooth free spool movement.
Why does the compressor on my lancer 1500 POSTMIX Dispenser start and run for a short time but then shut off on overload?
If the compressor on your Lancer Dispenser starts and runs briefly before shutting off on overload, the following could be the cause: * The condenser may be dirty. Clean the condenser. * There may be insufficient or blocked air flow. Remove all obstructions and allow for minimum clearances of eight (8) inches (20.3 cm) over the top. * The voltage may be inadequate. Measure the voltage across the common and run terminal on the compressor; it must not drop below 90% of the rated voltage. * The wiring may be incorrect. Refer to the wiring diagram and correct it. * The condenser fan motor may be defective. Replace the condenser fan motor. * There could be a refrigerant leak. Repair and recharge the system. * The compressor itself may be malfunctioning. Replace the compressor.
Why won't the compressor and condenser fan motor start on my Lancer EIBC (USA Only) dispenser after a 5-minute power off delay?
If the compressor and condenser fan motor on your Lancer EIBC (USA Only) dispenser won't start after a five-minute power-off delay, consider: * Improper wiring. Check the Power Indicator Lamp and verify the wiring per the Wiring Diagram. * An unplugged probe. Check the probe connection at the PCB. * Damaged electronics. Replace the Control.
What to do if no product is dispensed from my Lancer Dispenser?
If no product is being dispensed from your Lancer Dispenser, there are several potential causes: * The water and syrup shutoffs on the mounting block may not be fully open. Ensure they are fully open. * If it's an electric valve, the key switch might be in the OFF position. Turn it to the ON position. * The cup lever arm or ID panel actuator on an electric valve might not be actuating the switch. This requires repair. * There might be no electric current reaching the valve. Check the current supply; if adequate, inspect the solenoid coil and switch, and replace if necessary. * There could be an improper or inadequate water or syrup supply. Remove the valve from the mounting block, open the shutoffs slightly, and check the supply. If there's no supply, check the dispenser for fre...
What causes a lancer 1500 POSTMIX Dispenser compressor to hum but not start?
If your Lancer Dispenser's compressor hums but doesn't start, consider these potential causes: * Inadequate voltage. Measure the voltage across the common and run terminal on the compressor. Ensure it doesn't drop below 90% of the rated voltage. * Incorrect wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram and correct it. * A malfunctioning starting relay. Replace the starting relay, making sure to use the correct relay to avoid compressor failure. * A malfunctioning compressor. Replace the compressor.
Why does my Lancer Dispenser's compressor start but not switch off the start winding?
If your Lancer Dispenser's compressor starts but doesn't switch off the start winding (running only briefly before the internal overload switches it off), check for: * Inadequate voltage. Measure the voltage across the common and run terminal on the compressor. * Incorrect wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram and correct it. * A malfunctioning starting relay. Replace the starting relay, ensuring you use the correct relay to prevent compressor failure.
