Freezer Flatlining

[SULTAN]

I got a ColdTech/Minus Forty upright single door freezer which is giving me some problem.

What i mean by flatlining is that it never reaches its designed temperature which is set by thermostat.

Set point is set for -20 F But it only reaches to about -9 and keeps cycling.

Its charged with 404
Temperature probe is properly installed
Control was replaced with new digital one but no luck.

What could it possibly be?

is r404 on the cascade side of it. just thats a bit cold for r404. need mo info ie. is there a subcooler ? wat is the second stage doing ? (if it has 1 )pressures stuff like that

This is not a cascade system.. Its a upright single glass door merchandiser.
Its a closed system.

You say:
Set point is set for -20 F But it only reaches to about -9 and keeps cycling.
So what is it cycling on?
if not the thermostat, is it cycling on an LP control?

This unit has a digital controller that can be adjusted. I changed the controller and still same thing.

I finally solved the mystery and it was low refrigerant that was causing it to have low SC and High SH

not much of a mystery after all . if it was just short of gas .

So where was the leak?
I trust you found and fixed it?
