Test Procedure:
1.  Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
2.  Disconnect the thermistor from J5 on control 
board.
3.  Check the resistance across thermistor with a 
ohmmeter. The resistance range is approximately 
9K  @ room temperature to approximately 2K  @ 
200°F.
4.  Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
If resistance was present as described, the thermistor 
is working. 
If resistance was not present as described, replace the 
control board.
Removal and Replacement:
1.  Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
2.  Disconnect the thermistor from J5 on control 
board.
3.  Loosen the set screw and the two screws securing 
the two half blocks together. Remove thermistor 
assembly from overfl ow tube.
4.  Install new thermistor on tube and slide down until 
it contacts the fl ared end. NOTE: It’s critical that 
the thermistor be centered directly under the tube 
opening.
5.  Snug the set screw so the block assembly does not 
move aroung easily.
6.  Connect the thermistor to J5 on control board.
NOTE: DO NOT TEST OPERATION WITH PANELS 
REMOVED, AS AIR MOVEMENT CAN HINDER
