Icematic N140

[Andy AC]

Hello guys do any of you know whether the condenser fans on an Icematic N140 shut off during harvest? The hot gas defrost doesn't completely clear the evaporator before the cam timer does it business and starts freezing again. It just doesn't seem to get hot enough. I've had the gas out of it and put back correct amount but it still does the same.
Any ideas anyone?

I am pretty sure that it shuts off. What is condition of the plate? Sounds like you aren't getting enough latent heat out of the comp. Are the pressures good?

I got it sorted end of last week, it was the contacts of the fan pressure switch welded shut so the fans were running all the time regardless of pressure, which resulted in a lack of hot gas. As soon as the hot gas was injected, the evaporator was still being fed by liquid, which cancelled each other out.
