Freezer Flatlining
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?

Re: Freezer Flatlining
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.
if not the thermostat, is it cycling on an LP control?

Re: Freezer Flatlining
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
