I've owned a Perlick kegerator with glycol unit for a few years with a Dixell XR20C temp controller with no problems until now. I've verified the XR20c parameters with Perlick.
Here's my issue: The unit runs, but has stopped cooling. It sounds like the condenser is not working, even though I can feel air flow from the condenser coils. At first I thought it was a freon issue and I turned off the unit for approximately 2-3 hours, as I was going to contact a refrigeration specialist.
Just before the phone call, I had a hunch and turned the unit back on...voila!! I could hear the condenser kick on a it started to cool the unit down. Everything was running fine until this morning when I noticed that the unit wasn't cooling. I then turned off the unit for 30 minutes and turned it back on. It was then cooling once again.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
