Super Cold Machine shorting out

[Toby]

I have a Super Cold Machine that keeps tripping the circuit breaker. Is this a problem with the unit's control panel? If so, how can I get the unit checked (hint:I don't live far from AB's home office). I really hate to spend the $250 or so for a new panel if the problem is not with that part. BTW, when it works it works GREAT!!!!Toby

The problem may be in the breaker itself. ie: too small or faulty. The SuperColdMachine has a built in 15 amp fuse. First, check all wiring to the unit and make absolutely certain it is correct. Next, bypass the breaker and run the machine. If the fuse blows immediately, the control is faulty. If the fuse does not blow and the machine continues to run without a problem, the breaker is undersized or faulty.(should be 10 amps)
