    Default JBJ Artica chiller died

    My 4-month-old JBJ started making noise last night and now has quit cooling. My 28HQI was up to 85 degrees before I discovered it. Any trouble-shooting suggestions? The owners manual is not useful at all. It has power, is cycling off and on, and the green "cool" LED is on.

    You might check your pump to make sure it's not clogged...

    It may have leaked out all the refrigerant through the schrader valve it the cap is off. Or the compressor may have quit on you. Either way you don't want to run it for too long with out putting some gages on it to check the refrigerant (R-134a most likely) pressures.
