Chiller Died - What to do now?

Aquattro · #1 07-28-2006, 03:21 PM

exactly my issue. For now, I put a floor fan directly in front of it and` that keeps it working. I'm going to order the replacement soon, we can double up if you want. But for now, put a fan right in front of the front opening. Mine is keeping the tank at 79 this way ( where I set it)

I've got a massive fan sitting right in front of it and it isn't working at all. I think my condenser is shot. Even with the fan it's still running at 84 and it isn't going down.

have you cleaned out the fins on the condenser? Also, the fan I have is almost inside the unit. I also put a fan across the back to evacuate the hot air coming out

Has yours always made a loud clunk when it shuts off Brad?

So I put one fan in front of it and one fan behind it and it's still kicking off at 82. I think the water has got a bit hotter since I plugged the chiller back in too.

mine took a while to drop down, but it does now stay at 79
