Arctica Chiller Not Turning On -- 08/09/10
Hi,
<<Hello>>
First of all I want to thank you for your awesome website.
<<A collective effort--welcome>>
You guys
<<And gals'¦>>
have got me through some crazy problems.
<<Redeeming to know>>
I need help with my JBJ Arctica 1/5 HP chiller. It was working fine
last night and now this morning it's not even turning on. I thought
it might be the fuse and I changed that and still nothing. Any idea on
what my next step should be and if it's even worth fixing?
<<I'm guessing the unit is out of warranty? You can try
contacting these folks
(http://www.jbjchillers.com/contents/en-us/contactus.html) and see if
they can help. Else, contact a local heating/air-conditioning company
and see if they will come have a look at the unit. As for 'worth
fixing'... You will have to determine that--based on the age of the
unit vs. estimated repair costs. Perhaps the problem is only a simple
switching device gone bad--unless the unit is quite old; it's
likely worth the expense to have it checked out. Chiller units
'should' run for many years (especially if routinely
serviced)--I have an old (discontinued) CSL chiller hooked up to my
reef tank that's been chugging away under my house for almost ten
years now>>
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
<<Happy to share'¦ EricR>>
