What to do if Stoelting F231 Commercial Food Equipment shows Error Code 3?

S
Sarah BarnettAug 16, 2025
If your Stoelting Commercial Food Equipment displays Error Code 3, it could be due to several reasons: 1. Very low mix levels in the hopper or product breakdown. Make sure to check the mix in the hopper and add mix if the level is low. 2. A restriction preventing mix from entering the freezing cylinder. In this case, clean and sanitize the machine and replace the mix with fresh product. 3. Ice crystals in the hopper clogging the mix inlet system. Thaw the mix thoroughly per the manufacturer’s recommendations. 4. Reduced or stopped airflow within the machine. Check the sides of the machine for anything that would restrict airflow.
