1. Symptom – Barrel Temp out Error Message

   Each freeze barrel has a thermistor clipped to the bottom of the evaporator outlet copper refrigeration tube and is insulated. The thermistor low limit is -30F and the high limit is +115F. If either of the limits is observed for 30 continuous seconds, the barrel temp out message is displayed. The most probable cause is a bad sensor that is dead shorted or an open circuit.

   You can test by placing the thermistor into a cup of ice water and look for 32°F (0°C). Rub it between your hands and should read 90°F (32°C).
