Electrode
Function of the electrode
Dual electrodes monitor carbonated water level in the carbonator tank. Electrodes signal the
liquid level control and advise it of when to switch on the carbonator pump and motor.
Failure of the electrode
An open electrode circuit of insulated electrode(s) will cause the carbonator pump and motor to
run continuously. Grounded electrodes will not allow the liquid level control to switch on the
carbonator pump and motor. Shorted electrodes will cause short cycling of the carbonator pump and
motor.
Notes:
w Could short cycle because of a short to ground or switched electrode wire leads
w Check for leaks in cap or gasket
w Check wires from liquid level control to electrode (broken, bare or shorted)
