    What to do if my Taylor 345 will not operate in Beater or Auto mode?
    • J
      Jonathan SmithAug 18, 2025
      If your Taylor Freezer won't operate in Beater or Auto mode, first, check if the machine is plugged into the wall receptacle. If it is, check for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker and replace the fuse or turn the breaker on. Also, the beater motor may be out on overload. Allow the motor to cool, then press the AUTO key. If the beater motor goes out on overload again, contact a service technician.

    What to do if my Taylor Freezer product is too soft?
    • C
      Charles NguyenAug 20, 2025
      If the product from your Taylor Freezer is too soft, it might be because the freezer is in a defrost cycle; wait for the cycle to end. Otherwise, the consistency control needs adjustment, or the torque coupling is bound in a cold position, or the springs in the torque coupling are broken. For these issues, contact a service technician.

    Why is my Taylor Freezer product too stiff?
    • D
      downsdavidAug 23, 2025
      If the product from your Taylor Freezer is too stiff, it could be due to too much water to syrup ratio, which means an improper brix adjustment. Adjust the brix accordingly. Alternatively, the consistency control needs adjustment or the torque coupling is bound in a warm position, in which case you should contact a service technician.

    Why is there no compressor operation in Auto mode on my Taylor Freezer?
    • C
      Chad PerryAug 26, 2025
      If there's no compressor operation in Auto mode on your Taylor Freezer, it could be due to several reasons. The beater motor may be out on overload; allow the motor to cool, press the AUTO key, and if the beater motor goes out on overload again, contact a service technician. Alternatively, the torque coupling may be bound in the cold position, the condenser may be dirty, or the water supply may be off. For the torque coupling, contact a service technician. Clean the condenser monthly. Turn the water on if it's off.

    What causes excessive mix leakage from the door spout of a Taylor Freezer?
    • B
      briannaalvaradoAug 28, 2025
      Excessive mix leakage from the door spout of your Taylor Freezer can be caused by inadequate lubrication of the draw valve O-rings. Lubricate them properly. It could also be due to the wrong type of lubricant on the draw valve O-rings; use a food-grade lubricant such as Taylor Lube HP. Finally, it could be caused by worn or missing draw valve O-rings; replace or install O-rings on the draw valve.

    What to do if I am unable to remove the driveshaft from the rear shell bearing of my Taylor 345 Freezer?
    • C
      Craig ThompsonAug 30, 2025
      If you are unable to remove the driveshaft from the rear shell bearing of your Taylor Freezer, it may be due to rounded corners of the hex end of the driveshaft, drive coupling, or both. Replace the driveshaft, or contact a service technician to replace the direct drive unit. Another reason is lubrication of the hex end of the driveshaft. Do not lubricate the hex end; if necessary, contact a service technician for removal.

    • M
      maryturnerSep 1, 2025
      Leakage from the rear drip pan(s) into the front drip tray of your Taylor Freezer could be due to a worn, missing, or incorrectly installed seal or O-ring on the driveshaft; replace or install it correctly on the driveshaft. It may also be caused by a worn rear shell bearing; contact a service technician to replace the rear shell bearing.

    Why is there a lack of syrup being supplied to my Taylor 345 Freezer machine?
    • E
      Elizabeth JohnsonSep 6, 2025
      A lack of syrup being supplied to your Taylor Freezer machine may be due to a loss of CO to propel syrup, in which case you should contact a service technician. It may also be caused by clogged or kinked syrup lines; sanitize syrup lines regularly, and if kinked, repair or replace them.

      kendrarobertsSep 8, 2025
      If you are unable to adjust the brix on your Taylor Freezer, the syrup lines might need to be cleaned and sanitized; clean and sanitize syrup lines. Alternatively, there may be a blocked flow control, in which case you should contact a service technician.

    Why doesn't the product enter the mix hopper of my Taylor 345?
    • C
      Cynthia GaySep 12, 2025
      If the product does not enter the mix hopper of your Taylor Freezer, ensure that the machine is in the Auto or Prime mode. If not, place the machine in the Auto or Prime mode. If the issue persists, the mix level float switch may be inoperative, and you should contact a service technician.
