Chiller Stopped Working!!!

[1UCKY]

I got up this morning just to find out that my 1/10 HP JBJ chiller stopped working! I realized it had stopped due to the fact that the lcd display was off (I walk by it every morning on my way out the door). I unplugged it and plugged it back on and shut it on and off to no avail. Has anyone here ever encountered this problem b4 with JBJ chillers? Is it the end of life for it? I bought it used, so warranty is out of question.

If it is still running, just LCD (i.e. controller)not working get yourself a Ranco and run it with seperate controller.

Chiller is dead as we speak. There is no lcd display, nor does it make any sound as I turn it off/on.

Thanks! I'll see if I can fix it myself today, if not, I'll give them a try.

I just checked the fuse in the back and replaced it with a new one; found some aluminum fowl in there as well (don't know why). The LCD display turned on right away after powering it on, but the motor didn't. When I came home, the LCD was on, but the motor wasn't running at all. At this point I think it's off to the garbage.

Just got off the phone with JBJ and did some trouble shooting with them even though the warranty had expired 4 years ago! It all came down to a burned relay, which I ordered for $30.

Just put the new relay and we're back in business:tongue1:....

That was a nice quick fix. Glad it all worked out. JBJ is pretty good with customer service.
