old traulsen defrost timer
Hi, I have an older three door traulsen freezer in our resturaunt.The model is G32010WM.I just Put a new defrost timer on it.The old one was set for 3, 40 minute defrost cycles.Is this the normal settings.Also does anyone know where I could get a copy of an owners manual for this model.I tried the Traulsen web site ,but they never got back to me.
Thanks for the help

Re: old traulsen defrost timer
Scott,
Have you replaced 'like for like', or are the defrost timers different?
The defrost will be either electric or hot gas, and 40 mins sounds a bit long for a heating cycle defrost, unless the system (sometimes the time clock itself) has a means of terminating the defrost early as the temperature rises. I would have expected more like 20mins.
Hope this info is of use.
Adrian.

Hi,and thanks for the reply.yes I replaced it with the same thing,8141-00 Paragon,It seems to be working ok.Before it was feezing up.The points looked kind of shot.Would it be maybe when it went into defrost mode those points were not making contact?

Re: old traulsen defrost timer
Hi there,
Yes, this is fairly common on defrost timers. The contacts can become a little toasty over time and intermittently make contact. I usually set the defrost for 4 times a day and - yes 40 min intervals. This particular model has a defrost solenoid to terminate the defrost if the coil reaches the defrost limit setting usually about 55 degrees.
good luck, fire and ice
