SOLUTION
If freeze heads are not cold and frost-covered
after 7 minutes, turn the unit OFF. Keep the unit
OFF for 3 minutes, and then restart.
Make sure of proper power supply without any in-
terruption & compressor fan running.
Check that there is unrestricted air circulation to
the condenser unit. Check the condenser unit's
inlet air ports and clean.
Contact Technical Service Department at Ridge
Tool (see Service and Repair) .
Check for water flow. If this exists, stop the flow.
Use the water spray bottle or freeze gel to build
an ice bridge and provide the contact for heat
transfer. The slightest air gap will prevent freezing
Make sure system is full of water.
Pipe freezing unit will not work.
Allow the system to cool off or freeze heads are
too close to circulating main, stop flow in circulat-
ing main.
After freeze head is frozen to pipe, wrap with insu-
lation.
The compressor is thermally protected; it will take
time for automatic restart.
