Hi I have been having problems with a husky ice machine (no details wotsoeva) on it I would say maybe 60kg it's a decent size-:
Problem started about 6 weeks ago were customer said there was a big block of ice on evap plate and no cubes was dropping,so with customer been a good 40min drive I said turn machine off leave over night switch back on in morning and go from there,anyway machine worked fine again for 4-6 weeks please any advise or suggestions would be great
Picked machine up and ran in workshop first thing I noticed was compressor was freezing up like sweating it was that cold so took gas out and recharged 400g r134a
Left on test same thing comp started icing up
What I did notice is the discharge is nice and warm for maybe first 3-5 mins of a cycle then rapidly starts to loose heat which is obviously no good when it goes to defrost the plate,hot gas valve working all ok any suggestions
Comp is danfoss sc21g r134a LBP
